O tinkerbell how naive to think that just because people pay more for a dog it's likely to go to a good home! Why do you think there are breed rescue centres and did you not see that poor Old English sheepdog in the news lately who was carrying around over two stone in weight of a matted coat? He was put down in the end. If appropriate checks are made to ensure a puppy's welfare, how come so many dogs and puppies are neglected then? You're a good person I can tell, but I repeat, there are enough dogs in the world and nowhere near enough good homes to go round, so why bring more into it ? xx
