I agree, and I also think that it's the level of care that they receive. IMO someone who is a backyard breeder may not have a huge kennel or breed hundreds of dogs, but they don't love the dogs and give each one attention, it's simply for the money. They are just kept caged or kenneled 24/7, and never allowed to enjoy the freedom of being a spoiled baby.
