Thanks to the PF, we have something called "Lost & Found" column. Sometimes, when I "on" PF, will see some of the "memo" about the LOST and also the FOUND.
However, today while I "ON"... I saw a shih tzu, LOST. After I closed a page that I viewed, opened another page, another shih tzu, LOST, and on another page, another shih tzu....
Quite surprising that so many Shih Tzu which got lost. However, whether it's accidently, robbery or they ran out on their own, most of the LOST ones, are female.
Were they been "kidnapped" for doing business? Or is it really an accident that they got lost? Yet, there's still so many Shih Tzu available on the market to be sell off. Ever see much of Mongrel dogs got lost as often as the Shih Tzu, they can sniff back to the house (some of the mongrels pretty smart)?
I got a Shih Tzu,male as my "son", I don't even dare to let him run around without leach him up or just run inside the house, as he can't "protect" himself much.
As we sees, toy dogs eventually much "fragile" in a way that they are softy and hardly could protect themself, more over, "a thief comes into the house, the shih tzu might just jump of joy, cos have someone to play with..." Yet, they are expensive breeds.
Either, we are nuisance or the one selling the pups does.... We are over protective even "just to a dog" yet, some are over money minded, they just wants to breed, and earn the cash. (COME ON, NOT YOU THE ONE WHO IN THE LABOR...DUDE!)
A friend of mine told me before,"If I don't spayed/neutred my dogs, fine... Maybe I can sell the pups, HOWEVER, if I sold it to bad/inhumane/extreme money minded breeders which I not aware of, AM I CAUSING ANOTHER LIFE OF AN INNOCENCE DOG?"
Earning money, no one is stopping as it's business, people do need to buy a pet or two as companions, I BOUGHT too instead of adopt as I live in apartment, can't have a Mongrel (I got one back in my hometown, as it's terrace house). Still, I bought if from irresponsible person, a person who help his friend to sell the pup. And I bought a SICK pup. However, I glad I did brought back the pup, or else, will he still alive now?....
If after breed the dogs, yet the pups are sick, imperfect... they will just being put to sleep, dump at the roadside, alley or wherever/whatever they can think of...
You can see some great dogs are in SPCA, PAWS or with other volunteers, even Shih Tzu being dumped. Maybe all were chucked away after giving birth to brand new pups?
So, where are all the lost Shih Tzu that being posted up,now? Schnauzer? Well, here we go again....
