How long will the hybrid craze last?

Auburn - I think April is a real cutie and I`m glad that you have her in your life. My Molly says Hi to your April.

I am glad that you enjoy your dog Auburn, but yes, I guarentee you 100% I can find you a Pekitese in a shelter, Guarentee you, and yes if I did we DO ship to approved homes all over the US. I am not sure what mix your talking about Pekinese, something mix but if you let me know I will find you quite a few online. (that is if you wont mind being proven wrong).
 
You can use any excuse that you like, but the truth is you can find ANY breed through rescue if you are just willing to be patient in order to save a life instead of contributing to an irresponsible breeder.
 
I hope your Auburn does stay healthy but after my experience with a BYB myself, I wouldnt be so sure...
 
I hope for all of you that next time you consider adoption or buying from a responsible breeder. And if you doubt anything of what we have said ask your local rescue or your local shelter what they think. We cant ALL be wrong..
 

Moderator here,
Only so much can be said here....people make the choices they make.
 
I do not think we need to be personal or insinuate that someone was impatient, or should act the way we ourselves would have acted. No need to make people who have already made their decisions and are happy with them...feel defensive and bad about it. We do not have to be happy about it but neither do we need to rake them over the coals.
 
This forum is hopefully above that. Passions run high on this topic but I think we can all stay civil and avoid pointing fingers and making judgements about members we already know are caring people who love their dogs, and make our forum community as diverse as it is.
 
Hopefully there will be no more back and forth on this topic.
