LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

I disagree with rescue dogs being the best if you want anything specific, there are no 100% guarantees but you can minimise the chance of failure

with rescue dogs nobody really knows how they will behave specially when they have been kept in a kennel and not fostered. Not to mention large majority have some sort of behaviour issue, that can sometimes only appear after they settle in with you

with a wellbred dog the breeder should know their lines and the dogs they have bred. So they should have a good idea of the temperament and health that their puppies have. If all of their dogs in their line get along with other dogs there is a high chance the puppy if raised correctly will as well

rescuing dogs is great but only for the right people who don’t
have anything really specific in mind and can handle aggression, resource guarding, reactivity and nervousness

getting a rescue that has been fostered rather then kept in a kennel can give you a better idea of how they will behave but still not as well as a wellbred puppy

there are also awful rescues like there are awful breeders

Also: purchasing a dog from an ETHICAL breeder means they will be upfront with the health issues their dogs face. They will tell you what they check for...etc. Unfortunately with rescues people don't know what health issue can pop up. There's always a chance any dog can end up with some unexpected health issues, but by purchasing a wellbred dog, you alleviate someone that risk. For some it's important. Others, not so much

The long one is one that calls to me. I actually felt my thoughts drifting to holding it multiple times today at work, therapy and just a few minutes before taking the pictures. The fat one is super pretty, but it just feels like a rock.
