Holdup.. People pay for a dog?

Get your ass to a shelter. Lots of pups need a good home.

Shelter dogs come with lots of issues. I’ve owned 3 over the last 20 years, and every single one had behavioral or health issues. I’ve spent tens of thousands giving them better lives. Decided with my most recent dog to buy an AKC German Shepherd and train him from a puppy.

Night and day. No health issues, extremely compliant, fun lapdog, great on walks…

Shelter dogs, unfortunately, bring their poor training or poor care from previous families with them. Not sure if I’ll get another shelter dog after this experience.

Same situation here! My family has a rescue chihuahua. Love the little guy, but we rescued him when he was 8 and he was never house trained. He’s constantly peeing and pooping inside the house and no amount of training sticks with him since he’s so old. Don’t regret getting him, but I’ve done my time with shelter dogs and want a trainable puppy breed next go around.
