I also think one litter would be enough and both animals should spayed and neutered after the puppies are raised.
Just because there are a lot of animals in the shelters is not a valid argument. Many people do not like the idea of adopting from a shelter, they don't like all the attitude they get and all the hoops they have to jump through. The bottom line is that people have the right to do what they want with their animals within the law and some families want to have a litter of puppies, it happens everyday. Face it, people will continue to do what they want regardless of the affect it has on others. |
Yes, people have a right to breed their dog. So far. More and more laws are being made to try to contain the rampant increase of dog and cat populations. If a person wants a dog they should go to the pound and save a dog's life. If they can't jump through the "hoops" of being required to get the animal spayed or neutered and paying a fee to help with the financial upkeep of the shelter then they have no business having a dog. I see by a previous comment you made that you don't believe a person should be required to neuter their dog. People have a "right" to do a lot of things that are harmful to society. They have a right to drop out of school at the age of 16 or have babies when they are 15. No one can stop them. But it puts an added burden on the people in society that do what is responsible like finish their educations and earn a decent living. You can breed you dog but you are part of the problem not part of the solution to the overwhelming animal population.
