for crying out loud! there are so many pupies that are homeless waiting for

and you are going to pay people who breed dogs for money?
And do you actually think that a animated dog on a screen can be compared
with a real dog?
I think the kid would be better off with a virtual parent!
Your insult aside Ill answer your questions. Yes, I am going to pay for a
well Bred Dog that lacks all of the problems associated with mutts. (Ive
done my research). Like, Genetically inherited mental illness, like
sucseptibility to disease that is greater than any well bred dog with a
genealogy. I plan on buying only AKC and only a dog with at least one past
Grand Champion in the genealogy. If the dog has puppies, I would also like
to be able to place them (sell them also) which is MUCH MUCH easier done
than with a mutt, or crossbreed if thats how you want to put it.
Per your second question. No I dont think they can be compared, BUT having
to get up every morning and feed a Virtual Pet, having to play with it even
if you dont want to, having to do whatever with it that is required to keep
it alive will mimmick the real dog on a smaller scale. If she ties of that
quickly, I can then point out that it is about 5 times harder to keep a real
pet.
I do know a little about dogs having raised Rhodesian Ridgebacks in the
past. I do know what it takes to care for them. I do know that I do not want
a crossbreed. I cannot help it if people keep breeding dogs no one wants,
thats thier problem. In fact I am all for mass euthinasia to reduce the
populations. Hey FYI PETA is doing it. But then I guess its OK for PETA to
kill animals, just not anyone else.
