not for the betterment!!!thats why you will see alot of BYB always having adds out constantly having litters maybe in a smaller scale then the
big puppy mills. But same thing. not as drastic as what you seen on
the show but the same mind set pushing puppys out all the time.I know one
person that has at least 25 litters per year do you think she is concerned
about the betterment of the breed? or her pocketbook you decide.
that is a small amount comapered to the big puppy miller but it still is alot.
just think if on the average there were 3 puppys per litter that would be 25
puppys a year. wow and say someone else has the same amout and so on
and none of these breeders gave a spay and neauter contract that would give more the cycle goes on what the heck do you think this is about.
Just be responsible!!! |
I guess it depends on what you term a back yard breeder. There have already been enough threads before that shows there is wide disagreement on what one actually is. The breeder you describe would, in my mind, be a puppy mill though not on the scale of the huge operations. No one said a puppy mill can't be in someone's back yard. I think of a back yard breeder as someone less sinister though feel free to criticize them all you want, they are not the same as puppy mills. If I remember the title of the thread correctly, it is Oprah Show....Puppy mills and that is what the heck I think this is about.
