it's not the breeders who are putting dogs in pounds, it's the owners who either get a dog that isn't right for their lifestyle, that they don't have the time, money or patience to train properly, or the farm dogs that run free and go into the neighbors yard and breeds their dog and then you have mutt puppies that no one wants because people WANT pure breds. breeders no matter how they breed are able to sell ALL of their puppies so long as they are healthy and being taken care of in a nice facility. people want the pure bred dogs, they want the toy dogs mostly and they want them fast and for a lot less money than the $1000++ that some people pay for them.
so though i don't condone the inhumane breeding of dogs, and i do support people who breed responsibly (which the people i was talking about do) i also know that pound puppies are not there because of a breeder, they are there because of the owners |
Your wrong there are alot of purebreds in shelters. Ours right now even have 2 yorkies. Because of overbreeding pure breds are in shelters all the time. There are threads in the rescue section all the time about a yorkie in a kill shelter
