So if all those people that “wanted” to breed two different breeds together- if they just stopped and thought about it for a second and made an apt to get those pets spayed and neutered- Maybe we wouldn’t have so many unwanted dogs in the shelters. Buying mixed breeds is just filling up those shelters, just like supporting Pet stores is supporting Puppy mills…. Puppy Mills are horrible, but I think if you are against Puppy Mills you should be against people breeding two different breeds and selling them for a profit.. In reality there are soooo many un wanted “mixed” dogs getting put to sleep because of it. In my mind those two go hand and hand.
I get your point and your right but I dont think someone who buys a mix should hang there head because of it. They should learn from it and they should care that there are mixes in shelters being euthanizes but I dont think just because they bought from a mixed breeder, a teacup breeder or a puppymill, or byb that person cant go on and learn from it and be an advocate of better breeding or not buying from puppymills. The real problem is the bad breeders and puppymills that are in operation pumping out dogs
