It takes all kinds...and every one who has posted here has made a good point. Some folks think dog's are here to serve them, to make them money, etc...there are so called puppy mills where new litters are born and forced to live in unspicable conditions, bitches forced to produce litter after litter. There are folks who want nothing more than to have an angry animal on a chain ready to eat the hide off his opponent in his next match while the owner stands by hoping to collect cash made on bets.

On the flip side there are some people who DO treat their dog's better than they treat some people in society. I think this type of person has social issues as much as the types of people I just wrote about in the paragraph above.

In my opinion...I don't see how anyone could sell a dog unless, UNLESS...The owner was deployed over seas, become stricken with bad health or simply cannot afford to continue supporting and caring for the dog...sometimes when people sell they're doing it in the best interest of the dog. All sells aren't due to selfishness. Dog's need to be included in the family, they need jobs to do, they need to feel wanted and needed, they want to be productive just like people do. In my opinion if you own a dog and only feed and water him and do nothing else then you are missing out one what owning a dog is all about. They'll be a loyal partner and team mate if you work with them.
