There are no good dog breeders, or any pet breeders for that matter. In a world where thousands of abandoned pets are put down because there is no room anywhere for them, you have no good justification to purchase a pet from somebody who creates dozens more of them voluntarily to make money.

Tell me you have a pet and not a working animal without telling me you have a pet and not a working animal.

You're uninformed. Have a nice day.

You were obviously talking about traditional pets, not service animals.
The service animal industry is also largely problematic and exploitative.
Rescue animals can serve as service animals in a large portion of cases anyways, you don't need "purebreds" to work as herding animals, bomb detection animals, anxiety-comfort pets, guide pets for the blind, etc.

I know multiple people who have service/working animals and my spouse and I both work in the pet foster community, so no not uninformed.

Obviously. Interesting.

You're wrong/have no idea what you're talking about.

Have a nice day.

I want a Weiner mixed with Pitbull mixed with Chihuahua dog to herd my cattle. Specifically one that's been inbred for six years.
