>>Congrats!!! After looking at thousands of ads on CRAIGSLIST (these are desperate people in a desperate time) you managed to find a couple of free Burms.

Tsk, Danny. I reported every single Craigslist burm ad that I found with a price in it. I didn't pick and choose in order to support my case.

>>I know an 8 year old Dobie with hip dysplesia who put 200 stitches in the owners niece last summer. Free to good home. Says he paid $500. for him.

Absolutely. People lose money on dogs just like they do on snakes. As I've been trying to tell you -- "value" does NOT determine whether an animal is dumped or not.

>>You have shown no proof of how the majority of dogs retain their value much less increase in value over the course of their life.
>>Because they don't!

I've never claimed that they DO. Therefore I don't need to prove it.

>>This is as simple as I can explain it. If you still don't understand I apologize for not being able to educate you in such a basic principle.D.C.

I'll stick with the "principle" of looking at facts rather than fantasy, thanks.
