So, once again the problem is over-breeding of any dog type (including those mixes you and others defend), by those that are not doing so for the right reason, which includes the majority here. Most that breed the mixes are not doing so to create a new AKC recognized breed, but are simply trying to cash in on a trend. |
I agree with you for the most part
I know that most of the people that breed (mixes AND purebred) do it for the MONEY.
However what is so wrong with someone wanting a mixed breed dog????
Do I think its crazy that someone is willing to pay the price for a mixed breed dog that purebred breeders charge absoultey, I would never pay that much, however I would never pay thousands of dollars for a purebred but that it just me. I understand that the world is over ran by unwanted dogs and that over breeding contributes to that, HOWEVER its not all the fault of people who breed mix breeds, its the fault of anyone who owns a male and female that arent fixed and are calling them selves responsible breeders. That is the point that I was trying to make.
Maybe I was wrong when I wrote the statement that there are responsible breeders on this board, I havent been here long but Ive read some post about breeding/puppies and for the most part they seem responsible to me.
but what do I know Im getting a mixed breed dog, because I WANT one ( not that its anyone business, Im not paying anything for my new pup)
Im finished on this subject, its going nowhere, because I support those who enjoy mixed breed dogs Im always going to be wrong. Im not sure who posted awhile back on the general forum that anyone who owns a yorkie mix was welcome, well its threads like this one that scare those who own mixes away.
have a great day everyone!!
