In the US, approximately 6 million dogs end up in a shelter each year. Of that number, between 3-4 million are euthanized. Repeat that year after year and you start to see why breeding just for the heck of it is not something to be cheered on.

There truly is no excuse for an oops breeding. The cost of a neutering here in the States can run as low as $75.00; a spay not much more. When people choose to not spay/neuter, it becomes incumbent on them to prevent unintended whelpings. Personally, I don't believe there is such a thing as an oops breeding, rather just people who didn't take adequate measures to protect their dogs.

Far too many people on this board are caring for the products of these backyard breeders. They've spent countless hours and dollars dealing with sick dogs produced from pairs that should have never been bred in the first place. I would hope that most of the people on YT would be disgusted enough by poor breeding practices to not encourage it; whether those practice are committed by a backyard breeder or a puppy mill.
