Okay, I have been looking on rescuetheanimals.org through all the animal shelters for several counties around me. I looking at every dog they have. I would say roughly, 60% of what they have is some kind of Pit mix, 30% is Chihuahua mix, 8% Random Large breed dogs, 2% very old small dogs. I have no interest at all owning anything with pit in it, not really fond of Chihuahuas, I don't want any large breed dog, and I don't want to make an emotional investment in a dog that might die in the next couple of years.

I have tried using adoptapet.com to locate a dog to go check out, and it keeps saying no dogs match. It also does not work very well. If I choose, "YOUNG" it comes up with 10 year old dogs.

I also went down to the local SPCA and looked through their dogs and found nothing.

I want to go dog hunting today, but I can't even find a place to start. Can anyone recommend a good site for searching?

Great responses, particularly from ems, StormyPeak, and Rain.

However, I think it's really quite clear from John's responses that he only very briefly glances at any of the posts written by others. His latest posts have revealed very little comprehension despite his mastery of four languages.

Breeders are generally less strict than shelters or rescues but I think a part of that is due to the fact that people are spending at least three times as much money as what they would adopting a dog and a person is possibly more likely to put more thought into the process of getting a dog and spending that money.

I am not sure about Breeder vs Rescue requirements (I do know that they could have told me that another dog would have fit me better) but I do know that I could have bought a Redbone Puppy for cheaper than it was to adopt Trucker (oh well I got the one I wanted

Oh goodness I just got to his last response. The only thing that crossed my mind was this man would kill off half of society if he got the chance. He also would probably be the guy who 100% believe in adverse training methods because they "teach" those lower life forms what I want them to do.

I just have to leave this thread. Have a nice day.

I will say I agree with you on the hypocrisy front. However, our society is FILLED with the same kind of hypocrisy. It is everywhere.

I don't tend to point out what I feel is hypocrisy now as I've realized that almost anyone's viewpoint on anything could be viewed as hypocritical in some way.

This was a roller coaster ride from start to finish.

I know. I was reading through and I cannot even tell you where the train fell off the track.
