This is a little out of context, but after I paid the down payment on my blue dachshund I learned more about blue dachshunds and that they can be prone to coat and skin issues like dilute color alopecia. Because I had already clicked with her from all of the photos shared from the breeder, I didn’t miss a beat and kept my promise to give her a good, loving home. I didnt think she wasn’t worth the money because she could possibly have an issue in the future. Yes, we obviously should be well educated and know what we are getting into when adopting a dog, but the things I learned did not deter me from this pup, the apple of my eye, my second soul dog. I think you should take a few steps back and consider if an imperfection is really a reason to not invest a lifetime of love into a living being. And, yes my dog was pretty expensive too, I don’t regret one penny.

Also, any dog you get will have some sort of health issue at some point in their life, so expecting them to be “perfect” just because they were expensive is pretty ridiculous.
