It will still pee & poop all over your yard, and possibly have health problems, and eat the garbage. 
I got our Boxer through a rescue organization. He's purebred, but I don't have his papers. What the hell do I need them for?  He's not a show dog, he's our pet. |
agreed. breeders piss me off immeasurably. all of my pets throughout my life have been rescues and all of my future pets will be, too. i don't need some sickly inbred purebred that's going to end up with hip dysplasia by the time it's 10.
