The other day, my sister posted a picture of her adorable German Shepherd/Husky mix puppies on the Neighborhood app. She indicated the price she wanted to rehome them for – and let’s just say, it was a steal. But apparently, not everyone agreed.

Enter the woman who decided to flag my sister’s post. According to her, my sister is irresponsible for not being a breeder and charging such a low price for mixed breed dogs. She went on to say that doing things like that means all of the puppies will end up at the pound and be put to sleep. And of course, her friends chimed in, telling her she did the right thing to flag the post.

Now, I have a few issues with this. First of all, my sister’s puppies were not overpriced – they were actually priced very reasonably. Second of all, who made this woman the authority on responsible pet ownership? Last I checked, my sister was perfectly capable of deciding how much to charge for her puppies. And let’s not forget that German Shepherd/Husky mixes can make wonderful pets. I mean, have you seen those puppy eyes?

And finally, the fact that she referred to them as “mixed breed dogs” like it’s some kind of insult really grinds my gears. Are we not allowed to love mixed breed dogs now? What about Labradoodles? Are they not just as lovable?

The drama surrounding my sister’s Neighborhood app post was completely unnecessary. If you don’t like the price, move on. And if you’re going to flag someone’s post, at least have a valid reason for doing so. Don’t just go around spreading negativity and causing drama. Some people just need to stay in their land and mind their own business. And for the love of all things furry, don’t insult mixed breed dogs. They’re just as worthy of love and affection as any purebred.
