A dog is not just about breeding or just about training but about the whole package.
I do not think we can just talk about puppy mill situations but we also need to talk about breeder who don't give a darn about the dogs but are breeding to make a living. They cut corners all the time. Backyard breeders are a big problem in my mind.
I have always found that if a breeder is a member here then they must be a good breeder and I can tell you that is not true (I have pictures of a breeder on here that left her dogs in an empty house and had someone dumb a bag of food every so often). Her dogs (males and females) just had a great time together but this woman can sure write like she cares. If you saw the pictures off poop a mile high and bags of dog food just ripped open it would make you sick to your stomach...but geez this breeder blamed it on someone else as she didn't live there. Why is she breeding if she doesn't even live with her dogs.
I could go on and on about poor breeders but for some reason people believe them if they post on YT but we are all allowed to bash if they are not members. |
Training is a part of breeding, but there is certainly way more to training than what we as breeders do. I deal with mischiefious puppies, Not vicious adult dogs.
So there is a huge difference. I never feel threatened by my dogs, if I did, I would not be breeding them.
