Keeping way too many females and males for that matter and not just that but keeping them in kennels, cages ect. I don't understand how anyone can say they love dogs and yet keep them in a cage. This doesn't pertain to crates..i think crates are important to training as well as safety when you aren't home if you have a new pup...
I have been to kennels..licensed kennels ....to a kennel where the owner had some show dogs type of kennels..and i've never felt such heartbreak.
I bought a dog a few years ago (as a pet) from a licensed kennel and she had never felt grass under her feet. She didn't know what it was like to roll around in dirt or swim in a lake. So really when it comes down to it..thats what bothers me.
I agree with you on that. If they are not going to be in the family home, then they should at least have a run that goes out into a grassy area. Although I did read, in a book, written by a vet, that if the dog has never known any difference, then they don't mind, as long as their cages are kept clean, etc. That may be true, but I still feel sorry for them.
