I can afford the dog. I thought I made it quite clear my mother is the one forcing me to pay less than needed for the dog itself. Please stop with the passive aggression and don’t attempt to pretend you’re not being, because it’s very apparent. I never claimed a good breeder was doing charity, and I’m quite pissed about the $500 thing as well. I turned here for help, not snarky comments like yours. The reason I asked for help is because of the price range, and the fact I physically need a service dog, and the fact my mother is restricting this. If you have anything useful to say, feel free to reply, if not, respectfully take your rudeness elsewhere :)
