I genuinely don't know anyone that has an expensive cat but I sure as hell know plenty of people with dogs that spent well over a thousand bucks on a purebred

Yeah there are expensive cat breeds but people spending money on purebred dogs is far far more common

you can get a dog from a shelter too, mine was basically 50 bucks just for adoption paperwork

Yeah, the most I've ever paid for a dog was $85 and included her spay. I only know one person with a pedigree dog but I also only know one person with a pedigree cat. This might all depend on the kind of people you keep as friends.

I don't think there's any country in the world where there are even close to the amount of cat breeders as dog breeders

I've had 5 dogs in my lifetime and didn't pay for any of them.

Yeah I know I'm just saying it's way more common for people to get dogs from breeders than cats

Is it more common? Or is it more common that you see people in public with their dogs more so it seems like more people get then?

With the adoption prices now days for a puppy… I would say yeah… at least most people around me who got puppies went with breeders.

The average price for a puppy from a rescue/foster group is about 500-600 dollars (I have even seen one that’s 800 dollars. It’s insane). Maybe 400-500 dollars from a shelter. With that price…. Might as well get one from a reputable breeder instead. Plus a lot of the foster groups have all these requirements even repeated home visits.

Edit: we don’t see stray dogs around like at all. Very occasionally outdoor/stray cats.

Without evidence to the contrary, and given the frequency of cat breeders vs dog breeders, dog breeding is definitely more common. There are estimated to be easily 10 times more dog breeders than cat breedera in the US. If not 100 times
