I don't know why I came back on here. I remember when this used to be a loving, encouraging community...I guess times have changed. |
this is a loving, encouraging community. Because I love dogs, I cannot support unreputable breeders when so many dogs are dieing in shelters each day. And, yes, I don't believe any reputable breeder breeds mixed breed dogs. However, just because you breed purbreds definitely does not make one a reputable breeder. There are many many unreputable breeders of purebreds as well. No one is being judgemental...just stating opinions. I feel this way about breeding because of all the dogs abandoned, beaten, neglected, and dieing in shelters everyday. Most people need to stop breeding and contributing to the pet population...there are too many dogs and not enough homes.
