I'm seriously trying to understand the breeder's perspective so please don't take me as being argumentative. Your perspective is as hard for me to grasp as mine is for you so please take this in the intended spirit of trying to understand.
The responsible breeders on this forum are frequently furious over the horrible breeding practices of some. It effects the breeding dogs (health and actual life) and it effects the owners who purchase the puppies that end up sick or dying. It also contributes to the thousands of dogs put to death every day. If legislating breeding isn't the answer then what do you, who do this on a professional level, think is? I'm only talking about the bad breeders- I'm not talking about puppy mills which are also a huge problem and I wish we could legislate the hell out of them too. Iwould back any bill doing so whole heartedly.
