This is just to find out everyones opinion. I was reading a reply from Allamericanpup, where it was stated that(and forgive me if it's alittle off) people say that they want a puppy, so a litter is bred, then when the dogs are old enough to go to homes, the people change their minds, and do not take them. This is how they end up in shelters.
What I am curious about is-if the puppies are free, doesn't this make it easy for people to give them up and they end up in shelters? If the pups are $1000and up, not as many of these dogs end up in shelters?Due to the fact you pay an arm and a leg, you don't give up that easily.
But then on the other hand, do people tend to breed their pups more if they had costed mega bucks?
Just curious as what you think. I personally do not understand that millions of pits are showing up in shelters, when I see the prices of them in the Bargain Trader, or newspapers so high.
I know I paid a ton for Dixie, and I wouldn't give her up even if she were blind and deaf. Trying to find a pattern here.
This is pure speculation wanted.
