Yes, many breeders get into breeding to make money or as a hobby. While many people don't have a problem with this I personally do and many people who work with rescue do because if they are making money then they are not doing the proper genetic and health testing and often they care less about who they give the dogs to, basically any one with a checkbook will do. This is why we get so many of these designer dogs in the shelter, people are not fully educated about them or they did not get what they were expecting or they had small children but the breeder sold them a toy breed anyways. Go to your city shelter and just see how many cute fluffy mixed breed dogs are there and you will see why so many of us are so passionate about this issue. I work at a no-kill shelter where we currently have 5adorable yorkie mix dogs. We get in Chihuahua and Lhasa apso mixes all the time. I understand where you are coming from- I too loved my breeder for the longest time. Heck I wanted my next dog from her until I found this site and learned and my dog started having health issues (which didn't show up until he was 3 years old)
If less people sold puppies less puppies would be euthanized do to overcrowding- and yes sorry to ruin your guys day but they do euthanize puppies, even cute fluffy adorable and adoptable ones. This is why we only advocate the breeding of akc registered purebreds by reputable breeders who will not make any money off these dogs or use flashy marketing terms like 'teacup' or 'micro- mini' . If you want a mutt or do not care about purebred status please support a local shelter or a breed rescue.
