There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always wanted a Maltese-poodle, but I've always been really busy. So I said once I'm back in the city and the 'Sister Act' stuff dies down, I'm going to get a puppy.
Owners lavish love on their pets, which is why so many go from non-aggressive pups to being out of control when they're older. People just don't realise their dog must respect them as leader of the pack.
If I'm going to be 'too' anything, 'too cute' is fine. I love puppies. So what? Who hates puppies?
I've always loved dogs and have had one since I was three. We bought her from a kid selling puppies out of a cardboard box on the street where we lived in New York City. Great dog. We named her 'Marcella' after a Raggedy Ann character. She grew up with us.
When you walk through a bad neighborhood, you don't want a poodle by your side. You want a Rottweiler.
I'm not responsible enough to have puppies.
There's a puppy store near where I live. They know me by name in there because I go so often.
I used to breed poodles. I liked them because they were fluffy and so cute - and honestly, they make a lot of money when you sell them!
I didn't grow up with pets, but I live alone and figured a dog might be good for me. His name is Drexl, and he's a shih-tzu.
People simply shouldn't buy puppies without a breeding certificate.
