Does that give me the right to breed? ABSOLUTELY not! Sure this breeder is a wonderful woman~a school teacher even~ does that give her the right to breed? Did I purchase Pebbles? No, she was given to me by a friend. Rehomed because my friend was not able to care for her. There was never an offer to take her back from this breeder so what was to happen to my little girl? If I wouldnt' have taken her who knows where she would be now.  Of course I love and and think she is wonderful. She was sold without a spay contract so if I had wanted to she could be a breeding dog now. That is what a BYB does they sell for profit and it is WRONG! |
There were several points made in the original article - none more clear than that anyone who breeds a dog who is not 100% AKC standard (which defines appearance only) has no right to breed. She just slammed every BYB over and over again. As I said earlier - it is not right to group every BYB as irresponsible and careless. There are good ones and there are bad ones. As I said, I bought Bailey from a BYB and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another puppy from her again!!! She cares about the health and welfare of all her puppies. And yes, she makes a profit - why not!!!
