It really is
But oh wow that's insane.
Yeah, now that you mention it i've seen tons of young kittens. Ive seen 5 weeka even. And i don't think I've seen this but I've heard a story or saw a Tumblr post as it was happening, this person, a friend of the poster or friends mom or something, decided they no longer wanted the I think puppies but maybe kittens at like 4 weeks. It may have been even younger like 3 and wanted them gone. I feel like it may have even been younger than 3, it was a ridiculous amount.
Like *** don't have the babies if you can't commit?
There's pits on ours but surprisingly not a ton. In shelters theres some too though. Here it seems to mostly lab mixes and then the pits etc. Some Chihuahuas min pins etc. Small dogs like that. Lots of.mutts too
I will definitely get my next dog from a reputable breeder, whether show or working. I like mutts and one day I will adopt but shelters take so long and plus so many of the.dogs have such emotional baggage. I know there are a ton of great dogs in shelters that have zero issues but you don't know until you take them home and that is not a risk I can take right now. Our current dog came from a farm in western Massachusetts and she was really nice and even gave us a little info packet with the AKC paragraph on both breeds, vaccination records, training info, blurbs about ticks, grooming locations near everyone, there was just a ton of info, I still have the packet, BUT. They were still basically a BYB. He's a mutt and has horrible hips. They did have a much younger, maybe just recently born? Or still pregnant and unborn, i forget, Lab litter when we were there and the parents were there, mom got sick of babies and was back with her goats lol, dad and I think maybe a pregnant Lab momma, played fetch with us, etc. But they weren't special or anything. They were also raised in stalls so no socialization. Now, they did have a young son and lots of farm animals nearby but still. Raised outside rather than in home. Plus we didn't do socialization either. Now that was our responsibility and I knew it was important but we just didn't get around to it. Now we lucked out and got a great dog but he's sometimes reactive with other dogs. I think it's excitement and frustration he can't meet them rather than aggression (only one dog was he truly aggressive) because sometimes he's great and off leash but still. Also has anxiety. It would have helped if he had been from a good breeder and very well socialized. I will buy fromca breeder next time. We didn't know better then. Just saw a cute mutt puppy. (lab/pyr) he's 3 now, 4 in March
Both my dogs i got free. One from my sister litter one from my moms litter ones turning 5 the others turning 4. My mom use to breed dogs cocker spaniels then neighbors complained because of the noise so she sold them. Then years later my sister started it up again same breed. Hence my older dog but hers are aggressive towards eachother. She has her male in a kennel 24/7 in neg temps to. She just had a litter. And the last puppy was sold then the people resold it for more then that person gave it back to my sister so she could resell it again. Which in 3 days she had him back she used a shock collar on it. Those are meant for adults because he was whining he was crated to. The mother of those pups attacked its own puppies leaving one with a torn ear she had a harness on one that cut through its skin because it was to tight. Some people are just out for money. the grandmother of the pups has bad seizeures and could be passed down to future pups which it has. Some people shouldnt be breeding My mom bought a cavalier from a nasty pet store that sold sick puppies..still does then she eventually bred it and thats where my second dog came in. My dogs are spoiled as there under my blankets ready for bed now. Lol this is why i like cats more. Lol
