Of course there is a solution! Spay or neuter your pet whether or not he or is she is purebred. Sell puppies with a spay neuter contract and require all adoptions that don't work out to return the dog to you, not turn it in to a shelter or sell it to someone who will down the road. Consider adopting an adult rather than buying a puppy, especially if you aren't going to purchase a puppy from a reputable show breeder. Don't put anymore money in the pockets of backyard breeders and puppy mills. If the demand dries up, the over production of puppies will stop.
And educate, educate, educate! Tell everyone the truth about pet shops and puppy mills and how backyard breeders are the real problem, not the puppy mills as they produce the vast majority of purebred dogs.
