I do love cats and dogs and rabbits as pets.
They are companions, making life's trials a bit easier to handle.
I usually end up with cast-offs, ferals, non-pure breds, mutts. But do have exceptions.
One bunny came from a great breeder who was careful with her stock.
She was bred for markings and personality and was terrific!
But one of my cats (a gorgeous pure RagDoll) was so inbred she went loopy.
So sweet and funny, but tragic ending for her.
I really respect breeders that do it right, caring for the family lines AND the animals, not just the $.
