The unfortunate thing is that for all the great and wonderful breeders out there with the take back policy etc etc is there are so many fools out their with pets that truly (don't know why) believe their dogs would be so much more fulfilled if they had a litter.
What they aren't getting is that this can lead to ovarian cancer and breast cancer in the dogs later in life (silly rabbits).
I am glad you do what you do, I'm incredibly grateful to YT for being an immense wealth of knowledge for those of us who want to be educated.
Our unfortunate enemy is the parent who gets their kid a puppy but can't afford a breeders costs or passes the rescues criteria, so they go to a source that meets their needs. Then what happens the kid hates having to take care of the dog they dump it on the street or in a rescue/humane society.
Then there are the ones cross breeding for cuteness, same thing happens.
I can guarantee you too that half the dogs out there are unlicensed, I don't know how many people I know say oh god no I didn't pay that much for the dog I'm not paying an annual fee for them.
I'm sick of the cruelty and wish we could put them all in a big hot volcano and turn them to cinders, but we can't.
So those of us who are responsible dog owners who got our dogs from either a breeder or a rescue tip our hats to those out there who can do something for the ones that survive the cruel life they are born to. |
