I don't understand why people are willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money for what is, in essence, a mutt/mongrel. Do you get it? I don't.

I don't get it either. If I want a mixed breed dog, I'll find one at the shelter, not pay huge amounts for them. Ridiculous!

I presume you're talking about those "odd" pseudo-pedigreed things, where people are paying $1000 or more for a "dwarf Husky," or a Poodle with short legs?
I agree that's insanity, considering how many poor animals are euthanized at shelters, every year. What bugs me even more is that the people who buy these "designer dogs" often do so because they fit some kind of "image," and NOT because they actually love animals.

I see we're on the same page. :-) You know the type that likes to carry their dog around in their purse.

I love animals, I have 2 dogs, 10 cats, 4 parrots. I don't understand why people are purposely breeding mongrels and selling them for high prices. There are plenty of GREAT dogs (mongrels and purebreds) without homes in shelters that are being euthanized because there aren't enough homes for them. Myself, I would never support such a practice, I rescued one of my dogs from a shelter and I think that is the first place one should look for a pet.
