I think it's a consideration everyone should make and there are a lot of animals out there that need homes. I think it's hard to convince people who have their heart set on something specific to realize that they will actually love a rescue just as much, but it is important that they at least don't have one 'delivered' and see the breeder and parents first. It's a bit annoying when someone says look how cute my new xx is. I always ask where they got it and more often than not, if it's a small breed, they say the breeder met them somewhere, and I know that means it came from a puppy farm.
