I do not think it is as simple as that I think people do not want the problem dogs and that is why they are in Kennels. As ally said people go looking for the puppies and pedigrees and non problem dogs if they can not find them they go on waiting lists to find them. the dogs that end up long term in Kennels are the ones no one has time for or of a type namely Staffys which someone has bred for the sake of breeding or accident. I for one do not have the time or experience for a problem dog so was looking for a x breed that fitted into our family we found two it was only afterwards that we discovered where they were from. We saw dogs which would not walk outside the kennels another that was so shy it didn't want to leave its kennel another that wouldn't stop barking I am sure someone could make these dogs better but I couldnt and I knew I would probably make things worse as I didn't have the time. we found 2 that wanted to know us play and keep up with us on walks and loved to learn. we could afford to buy pedigree dogs but decided to rescue and i actually prefer x breeds. I if we are honest with ourselves the Dogs that get left in rescues no one really wants that is why they go on searching putting their names down waiting for the one that fits their want puppy or pedigree. Therefore if you are going looking or putting your name on waiting list are you really rescuing an unwanted dog or are u just getting there before someone else?
