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.

The minute a litter of ANY pups are born they are contributing to the dog population when there are shelters full of unwanted pups. That can't really be argued. When 5 pups are born....that's 5 more the world has in it.
