We are on holiday in wales at the moment, and I have persuaded dh that we need another dog but we've agreed that we will wait til christmas (present for ds and gives us time to redo the garden and make sure that its puppy-safe and not just dim and slightly lazy benji-safe) anyway, seems like on every road there is a sign up advertising puppies for sale.
Now, I don't care about pedigree, in fact, I would rather have a spaniel cross (still trying to persuade dh that we would be better getting a young rescue dog) than a kc reg. Surely its better to get these poor pups into a stable loving home, than leave them there? There are always people who don't neuter their dogs/bitches and end up with puppies they don't want. These dogs need homes, why is it so bad to give them one?
I'm genuinely interested. My mil bought her old dog from a puppy farm (which she reported when she got home) and she just wanted to get lucy away from there and into a warm bed with lots of love.
