Adopting a dog or get from breeder?

Oh, that's fucking funny.

I'm imagining your neighbors thinking you're such a prick that they sneak over and shit in your yard at night, knowing that you'll pick it up thinking it's your dog's shit.

lolz.

It’s not that far fetched. I live on a dead end circle of only 9 houses. We live off a golf course. I’m the only neighbro who doesn’t golf. I’ll go out onto the golf course at night, party w them and do some putting, but when they pull out the irons and clubs I usually walk home (only 3 houses down). It would be just like them to get drunk and shit in my yard on their walks back thinking it was funny.

I paid 2 grand for our faggot, and drove 12 hrs rd trip in one retarded day with my kids in tow to pick up the idiot. Since then, the fucker has destroyed at least another 3-4 grand worth of shit. Wood baseboards, shoes, clothes, carpet, Christmas, lulz...you name it.


Pets are the most overrated thing ever. Walk away and go on vacation. Oh, that's another thing, have fun never going anywhere again, or paying for boarding.

Fuck dogs. Fuck dog-lovers, and super extra fuck all the adopt a dog lunatics.

You win. Dogs at best will ruin your house and make it smell like shit. They are mostly too stupid to protect your from anything important. Also it's annoying as fuck when you go over to a friend's place and their dog is a great big asshole who just wants to bark and bite you.

I'm legit sorry you wasted $2k on something that eats its own shit because it likes it. Fuck dogs and fuck people who won't shut up about how much they like dogs and hate people. Those people are often mentally retarded or autistic as fuck.
 
The only reason to buy a dog at this point in time is to pimp them out for breading purposes and make money.

If you aren't making a profit on your dog and it's not properly trained to kill anybody who breaks into your house you should just kill it and cut your losses. You're just burning money that you could be dumping into BTC or ETH.

I was going to say adopt but @beardown07 kind of talked me out it.

Another thing to consider is do you want to pick up dog shit every day? My dog shits so much I’m convinced other dogs and possibly people are also shitting in my yard because it’s everywhere and I pick it up every morning. Completely out of control.

thought you was a vegetarian en sech . . .
 
beardown and cave are correct. to hell with owning a dog. i'm not picking up dogshit off the lawn. i'm not going to risk having my house and things within the house, trashed, nor do i want my house to reek of "dog-stink"; not to mention committing to constantly vacuuming to avoid fur. i'm not going to shell out money for vet visits and, god forbid, surgeries/expensive treatments to keep it alive when its health will inevitably fail. i'm not going to open myself up to the chance for someone to sue me because my dog ends up biting someone. not all, but many within the "dog people community" can be downright obnoxious about how much their love their mutts and how their dog(s) are the most important sentient beings in God's creation, and i don't care to find myself co-mingling with those people. i value the freedom to go where i want, when i want, and finding dog sitters/boarding creates an obstacle that i'd rather not have to deal with.

hey, dogs are fun animals (assuming they're well-trained and not aggressive/destructive), and i enjoy playing with a dog when i'm around one; i just dont want it coming home with me.

Looking into getting a dog. What a complete pain this process is. First I always hear "You should adopt", "Adopt! Adopt! Adopt!" Well, okay, I look into my local animal shelters and every single dog available is about 9 years old and is missing an eye. Any younger dog, that is in the puppy - 9 months age range is a very rare find to find on the website and is usually gone within minutes. Or their bio is "Not good with other dogs." "Not good with being in a house." "Not good with people."

So I gave the adopting option a good effort, but the selection is extremely minimal.

Then you look into breeders. I can't tell if I am trying to get a puppy or applying for a job. The selection is usually pretty minimal and it is super competitive and if you are serious about getting a puppy you have to file an application, and have an in-person interview with some even requesting they visit your home. On top of that if you're lucky enough to get the dog it'll cost you $2,000+.

I just want a damn dog. What happened to the days of having $200 and paying for a mutt and that was that.

I've adopted every pet I've ever had except one. That was a Bassett Hound puppy that I got for one of the daughters and even then, it was an accidental litter, so they were looking to get rid of them quick or they were going to a shelter (so still kind of a rescue lol).

Your local shelters should have their pets online so you can at least see a picture and/or get a little background info. Petfinder is good. If you know what you're looking for and don't find it, you can set it up so you get notified when what you're looking for is available.

Also, if you know what breed you want...there are breed specific rescues that you can adopt from. You can find a lot of those on Petfinder. Gives you a much better chance of getting a pure bred dog for a lot less than you would pay a breeder (although, "mutts" can be great dogs).

Also, spend as much time as you can with the dog before you commit to getting it and ask a lot of questions (if you go through a breed rescue, they generally know a lot more about the animals they have than a typical shelter does) that way you can get one that fits with your lifestyle.

One of the daughters does a lot of hiking and wanted a dog that could keep up with her and her sons. So she goes to a shelter and gets the most energetic dog they had. Problem was, it turned out to be a crazy, psycho energy dog that had no off switch and she and the grandsons couldn't keep up with him. So she ended up having to adopt it out. lol
