i think the reason that backyard breeders exist is because there is a demand for them, and the reason there is a demand for them i think is mainly because of 2 reasons.
1) people want 'cheaper' dogs.
2) people want to buy a dog but were turned down by good breeders or rescue because they didn't meet the qualifications. so they turn to backyard breeders to get what they want.
and i think unless those 2 things are solved, there will always always be backyard breeders, because they fill a need...
it is very unfortunate!  |
No way to solve 1 or 2. If people want a cheap dog, they should buy a stuffed animal....
Same with number 2...some people, in my opinion, should only own stuffed animals.
There are far too many people who are not responsible pet owners. Just got an owner surrender today that the people are dumping because they bought a new home and want to "assume a fresh start". They are keeping their children .. for now at least.
