Of course everything in your post is absolutely heartbreaking, but it won't deter us from buying another dog again in the future. Like it or not, many people prefer purebreds over mixed-breed rescue dogs for a number of reasons. That doesn't mean we love animals any less than you do.

Of course they do. Who wouldn't want their pet to be the exact breed and temperment they expected with the least genetic health problems as possible? The point is that, is getting exactly what you want worth putting another shelter animal to death?
