You have brought up a very interesting point and something I have always been concerned about--I can't fathom why anyone would buy a dog over the internet, sight unseen...but that's just me.
I don't think that alot of your breeders are hurt by this or that they care. Many are not in a 'competition' to sell--I guess maybe if you are counting on profiting off puppy sales then it would be detrimental to business... Many breeders have a waiting list for pup before they even breed and don't advertise at all. (I would bet many of these are the people who probably DO enforce restricting the breeding rights of their pups too!) Just my .02 on that. |
