I do not think that anyone here wants to get rid of breeders altogether. We are just passionate about our dogs and the humane treatment of them.

I'm sorry, but a dog that have never been potty trained or felt carpet under its feet... that's sad! I do not care if this dog lived a better life than puppy mill dogs, I will still not accept it and say it lived a good life. Living in a kennel with outside access is not a good life. As people have said before, dogs are social creatures, and they yearn for our attention. I cannot imagine this poor dog's life having minimal human contact living its life only to reproduce.

I will not accept that this is a good life for a dog
