I see so many BYB on here and all over the net that for some reason do not think they are or a part of the problem.
I think buyer need to beware, be educated and stop the process. There is so much more to stopping the over pet-population then just adopting, there is also trying to do your part before the animals end up in the shelters. You can't support bad breeding practices then complain no one wants to adopt the ones who are the results. |
my question to you is then.. did you go and adopt your yorkie from a shelter or did you buy it??
I dont know you, Im just asking. You and many others are so quick to jump on those who want to own mixes and start preaching that they should of gone to a shelter first but yet they are the first to sign on to YT and say how much money they just spent on their new little yorkie pup when there are sweet little yorkies in shelters everywhere everyday.
Why is that??
Do I think that she should breed her 2 dogs together just to see what the pups will look like or for whatever reason... absoultely NOT. I dont condone random breeding for anyone. I am a firm beleiver in spaying and neutering and I would love to see spaying and neutering be mandated for the majority of pet owners. However that will never happen and our shelters will continue to stay full.
