Hallmark of a dictator. Only the best for him, but we peasants can adopt a shelter animal if we wish.
Too bad. Would have been great for his image if he had adopted a shelter dog. Now he looks like the elitists he condemns.
Not that the media would discredit Der Fuehrer in any way. They will protect his image at all cost.
I prefer rough collies and German shepherds, but would consider other breeds such as golden retriever, Australian shepherd, border collie, Shetland sheepdog, etc.
BTW< there are rescue groups out there for possibly every breed there is. I might consider one of those.
Then again, I might go to the pound someday and find an appealing dog, purebred or not. But where I am there are lots of purebred dogs of certain breeds in the pound: German shepherds, pit bulls (would not even consider having one of them), Chihuahuas, and some others, besides the usual mongrels.
I have cats, so I'd have to find a dog who could be trained to get along with cats.
All elitists say this. And all members of animal shelters, rescue groups and humane societies know that they say this whenever they bring a purebred dog into the home. The first words out of their mouths are, “The next dog we get will be from a shelter”... and they never get a second dog. The animal groups exploit the sound bites as they escape the mouths of the elites. It’s a game that never ends because both sides know how it is played in the media.
