In a perfect world, yes! I live out in the country and there are a lot of back yard breeders. Their goal is the income. I'm talking the kind of people who never take an animal to the vet and breed them every heat. While they sell their puppies left and right to who ever will come and buy them.

I knew a breeder who bred siamese cats and after the area around her had been saturated with them, if she had a litter they ended up at the pound. At first she was making $100 a kitten then after a few years whatever someone would give her and then no one wanted them anymore. It made me so mad!!!

When people said to me "Why don't you just have Lola have puppies so that you don't have to buy any more?" they were being honest. They didn't know that it takes a good breeder who knows what they're doing and that there are risks. To people out here, pets are disposable income.
