As a long time breeder I fully support rescues. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs over the years. There is no right answer. I'm proud of my breedings and have made many new friends. My puppies/dogs are in awesome homes with wonderful owners. All my dogs are healthy and well-loved.
If this hatred for breeders continue, there will be fewer purebred dogs to show and differentiate among the breeds. I recommend shelters all the time, when folks say my dogs are too expensive for them. I believe you get what you pay for. I speak with everyone of my buyers and many of the buyers from breeders who have quit.
And lastly, why are we importing dogs from Korea and Mexico to fill shelters and rescues? Isn't that just as bad?? |
