YT supports these breeders, so if you really mean you do not want to "belong to a group that supports BREEDERS", you need to keep looking! We have rescues and people that support and volunteer and devote their lives to their rescues and the pups that end up there ....we have BREEDERS, that have devoted their lives to breeding these pups with all the love and care and knowledge and wonderful intentions and results that could possibly be expected and appreciated. and yes, we have BYB's , which we DO NOT SUPPORT OR ENCOURAGE, but they are in our midst, and we do everything we can do to educate and redirect them and their misconceptions about throwing two dogs together for "the wonderufl feeling of welcoming a wonderful little litter in the world", for a quick buck, so the kids can see a natural birth, and all the "slip ups", "oops" and accidental breedings when people that do not know any better, put two intact dogs, one in heat, together and are then stupefied when they end up with a pregnant female.....you are doing a MAJOR injustice to all the commited, educated, responsible breeders when you say you are against "all breeders"..... Be against puppy mills and byb's, but dont paint all breeders with the same brush..... |
