The problem is with the word "breeder." Anyone whose dog gets pregnant is a breeder. Too many people are wanting to suppliment their incomes and decided letting their dogs do the work is easier than getting a job. While some animal rights groups are against any breeding, others like the HSUS and ASPCA are very much for responsible breeding. The problem is every backyard breeder justifies their breeding program, and tries to pretend that they are a responsible breeder. It's great to see others who truly want to learn more and better their programs, instead of just justifying them.
