That can be said about anything, but it is not the truth in all cases. we cannot control those who choose to breed just for profit and care nothing about the dog, no more than you can. this is a free enterprise system.
our best "defense" is "offense". Educate thde people on what makes a good breeder and put the focus where it belongs.
that Article
Lawrence County Humane Society Abuse and Adoption Center that was mentioned before is absolutely ridiculous. Most people are going to see it immediately for what it is. to say that anyone who does not show dogs or belong to dog groups, is not fit to breed dogs is ridiculous. And to say that everyone that does show dogs is a good breeder is even more ridiculous.
I didn't belong to parenting groups either but I raised 6 wonderful children to be wonderful responsible adults. I was too busy raising my kids to belong to social groups.
In fact one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
It's like saying that ONLY people who go to church are good Christians, and worse yet that ALL people who go to church are good Christians. we all know that isn't true either.
it's stuff like that, that turns people off completely and then any good information looses it's value, because people don't know what to believe.
