If all you want is a pet, there are plenty of them out there already. I'm not against commercial breeding, it's just that in order to do it properly, they would have to charge way more than what the public wants to pay for a dog.

I don't think it is solely the breeders responsibility, I think it is the governments though. It should be illegal to purchase a puppy from anyone except a government registered and monitored breeder. No way should it be legal to sell pups or any large animal in stores. I am sure all reputable breeders would be happy to be on that list. Anyone else selling a pup then is charged.
Like I said earlier, children are not bred in mills and sold in stores. Why doesn't the government have laws for animals...oh I have a quote for this..
