There are some of us on YT that will place the welfare of the dogs above humans because someone has to be the voice for these animals, we have seen or see on a daily basis the abuse of animals. We have enough people that use them for their own welfare and it is very apparent with some people. If the majority of people on YT feels that no one should try to protect these dogs or animals in general then I have been sadly mistaken what this group is about.

For those of you who think the respectable breeders and the real rescue people were downgrading someone because they don't have $$$ and are in a wheelchair is just trying to put a spin on a story . I have a handicapped family member and I have family members who are poor - and I can darn well tell you they would be very upset to know people are trying to play the "poor is me card" and I can also tell you they love animals and would not use them to pay bills. So poor handicapped people don't have to play by the same rules..I don't think so and I am sure they would also be offended by this suggestion. In fact many of them fought for laws so they are treated as equals. IMO when people put a spin on these issues they are the ones who are prejudice against these people...they see them as different. Let me point out here, I am not against poor, handicapped people breeding if they can do it right (for the dogs) and can handle situations and have the resources ($$$) if something happens. If you are handicapped and cannot get into the whelping box to help mom then it is one more reason you should not be breeding. They also should be doing their homework/research before they start the process...just like anyone else. I would also add here for the ones being so judgmental have you worked with abused dogs, walk into a puppy mill, walked into a byb's home, been in the shelters, seen the fear in these animals eyes, seen animals that cower because of abuse and been there when the breeders are done with them and toss them away or even kill them ? Everyone on YT has to decide if they are going to help animals or hurt animals.

For those of you who are afraid to ask questions then I feel sorry for your pup. Everyday hundreds of questions come into YT and never have a problem so I wonder just what questions you are so afraid to ask. Hurting animals is never right in my book nor is using them for your own greed and frankly I am disgusted if members on YT feels this way.

We all know anyone can make $$$ off of the dogs by not doing right by the animals. The ones who don't make money are pouring the money back into their breeding programs by going to the shows, giving their dogs top medical & dental care, feeding them quality food, investing in educational programs and spending $$$ researching the dogs and their pedigree's and are not cutting corners with their breeding program. Again a spin put on the story.

I will never understand how someone could know a dog killed puppies, gets into death fights with another dog , was an abused dog, dogs beaten by a cane where the dogs were still in pain the next day is okay and that we are the bad people for trying to protect the animals. But then again some people think it is okay to kill a puppy with a hammer.

If some of you think I enjoy confrontation, you are wrong, but I will speak up for the dogs.
