I know people have said that they don't breed to make money that they barely break even but I call bullish*t on that. People breed to SELL puppies. It's gotten out of control. If they limited breeders to one or two litters a year, would we run out of pets? I think not.
I could never be a breeder, I don't understand taking a family member, making them have babies then selling those babies to people you don't know. However, I have seen such a large percentage of badly bred animals and animal shelters full of unwanted animals that I just don't get the *need* for anyone to breed. |
Well, I can understand why people would want to breed and we really need good breeders who are doing it right. To have a "serious" breeding program, many breeders say you need at least 5 females, but I'm sure 4 would be plenty for most hobby breeders, especially since many believe in breeding back to back. I don't want laws that punish the small hobby breeder, but I don't think this one does.
