You’re making circular arguments to your own first point there. You said don’t pick a specific breed in the first sentence but then go on to lecture how people should pick a specific breed that suit needs. this is the very definition of posting nonsense.
No, I said pick a dog that meets your needs, don’t decide you need a particular breed and refuse to change your mind. Of course there are breeds that generally have certain traits so there’s nothing wrong with saying, “I’m open to any of these,” but people need to recognize that there are plenty of mutts that might be the right fit, or other breeds that might also be a good match. Instead, there’s a whole subset of people who pick a breed because they like how it looks, or they like the idea of it, refuse to consider any other options, and then end up rehoming the dog when it doesn’t fit perfectly into their lives.
