Gemy, thank you. That was the most cogent, well written, and informative answer I could have received. People like you are exactly why I come to this site.
I agree with you completely on a number of issues, first the sourcing of the statistical data needs to be complete and reliable. But you are right the numbers do not add up. The simple concept of supply and demand will lead always to someone to fill the gap in supply.
I really feel like this issue needs to be discussed, I don't think people realize how complex the issue is and that laws are being passed that effect all of us who love dogs.
I could look it up but wasn't there a law passed recently that lowered the number of dogs you can breed before being classified as a commercial breeder?
The more I learn, the more questions I have.
Gemy, again thank you for your reply. |
