more respectable than what?

as i said in the rest of that post.....more respectable than claiming to breed to cut down on the number of homeless pets or however it was worded.

sort of like the person who replied on the thread "parti prices" by saying, "because we can" in response to why they charge so much.

i find that more respectable than giving a bunch of reasons that make no sense whatsoever.

is it right? i don't know - but i like the honest answer.

Most of those who have posted on this thread already know this about me, but for those who don't, I want to say that I am not a breeder. Never have been, never will be - I leave that to those who KNOW what they're doing. I am proud to be a member of, and a foster mom for, Yorkie Haven Rescue. I also stand firmly behind good, reputable breeders.

I don't believe I took your comment out of context. To say that those that breed for money or just because they want to are respectable in any way shape or form is so wrong, IMO. They do nothing to ensure the health or the lifelong best interest of their pups.

My opinion of a good breeder: One who has medical testing done before breeding in order to prevent illnesses or other problems so many of these little ones are born with. One who thoroughly interviews prospective homes for their pups - and this includes veterinary history. One who insists their pups be spayed or neutered to PREVENT pet overpopulation - those who breed just "because" or for money could care less what happens to these puppies. If they did, they would have spayed their own dogs.

Are you looking for justification of your own breeding practices (& yes, I have read every word you've posted) or are you just wanting to bash anyone/everyone who produces a litter of puppies? There seems no point in your later posts other than to cause problems. Your original question has been fully answered. Move on.

I have absolutely no idea what the prices parti breeders are charging have to do with this thread. It's a good distraction technique, but it has no bearing at all on your original question.

I apologize to all the breeders for my original post on this thread. I retract that entire post and would have admin delete it if I could.
