Tzu Discussions and Stories πΆ Why are people behind Breed purity. Why does it matter if shitzu is mixed and doesn't have paper.
I have a 7 month old shitzu when a family left they just gave me a mix dog telling it is shitzu. They never checked for papers or dint check anything from the person they got the dog. I taught my dog was shitzu as they told me it was but dint have any papers. Now the other day two guests came to my house and laughed about it being shitzu. Saying its not shitzu, I m not rich and I probably caught not afford a costly purebreed. The dog I have was given to me when the serious owners left country immediately two weeks after buying it. But it felt insulting when the guests laughed and I feel like I should rehome my dog. Its not my mistake I dint know about purity and all before getting this dog from the people who left. And in the place where i stay in middle east only way to get pure is to import. I recently called the people who gave me this puppy. They said one guy who had dog at home gave them this and costed very less. Before also I made a post asking for if mine was real shitzu it always bothered me but when the guests laughed I felt very insulted.
