rescue shelters and euthanizing unwanted dogs is a tragedy..
but, even breeders of only purebreed dogs should stop breeding if they want to use that argument.... go to the pound right now and save a dog...
the fact is, there are a lot of pure breed dogs that get abandoned also. not just the mutts or mixes... big dogs, especially are vuilnerable to this..
most people these days want small dogs.. companion dogs.. but, there
are just a lot of people who have dogs that should not have dogs at all..
so sad.. choosing the right homes is the most important thing..
a puppy that costs 1000 or 2000 deserves a fenced in area and a doggy door and a companion canine..
those who cannot afford an expensive dog should go the pound and get one .
those who can afford the price should be willing to put out morer money to provide them with a dog friendly home..
selling puppies in pairs is the best feeling.
i feel like they will be happier to grow up with a littermate..

Oh yes, I think I figured that out by the "Aren't these the designer dogs everyone wants?" The almighty buck. And we wonder how Puppymills started.
If you truly love your dogs then you'll keep them as your pets and you won't let greed take over by breeding for mixes. There are too many mixes as well as badly bred pure breds that end up in rescue or shelters and that's the lucky ones.
