Seems to me that breeders are also worried about others carrying their blood line further. Why is that a big issue? Is it just about the money factor , and I get the work and time that goes with it. But , wouldn't you want to have the blood line carried. Seems to me that $ plays a large roll in that issue. Once again not educated fully in this area. Have no means to show or breed a puppy when I get one. I also mean no disrespect in my inquiry. Just seems to me that finding a good solid home where the puppy will be loved should be of the out most importance more than anything else.  Thanks very much. |
I'm not a breeder, but this is my take. There are too many irresponsible owners out there that don't understand what being responsible means. They think it's a fun idea or experience to breed their dogs, not knowing how dangerous the process is for the mumma dog and not knowing how much goes into making sure all the puppies and the mumma dog are healthy and safe before and after birth. Then, they sell the puppies hoping to make money, to more irresponsible pet buyers. I guess it boils down to breeders only wanting to sell to responsible dog owners. Breeders LOVE their dogs and they want only the very very best for their dogs' offspring.
The large number of dogs at animal rescues shows that the public at large are not responsible when it comes to owning pets. Each year, there are so many dogs euthanized because there aren't enough funds to keep them alive. Vancouver, BC has rescued so many dogs from California kill-shelters over the past years. Not to mention, there is an over population of dogs in general, everywhere. So, that in itself is the reason why all pet-dogs should be spayed/neutered.
