I dont see how a responsible ethical breeder is adding to the pet populatuion as most pet quality pups are already spoken for and would not be in a booth. They are sometimes already spayed/neutered and are on contracts forS/N/AKClimited and are not for breeding purposes. Most of these breedes give a kifetime guarantee and will take the pup back if for some reason the owners cant keep it. The pet breeder usually has no contract, does not want the puppy back and does not have breeding restrictions. This IS contributing to the pet population as most buyers will want to breed the dog, reasons being, to re-coup the original price, show the children the "miricle of birth", or just to make a few $$$$. those are some of my thoughts.
