I have a friend who lives in San Antonio and she fosters dogs for the humane society...she said a large number of the dogs she gets are from breeders. She said after what she has witnessed, she'll never purchase a purebred.
Me, on the other hand, there are a few purebred dogs that I love and cant resist...but I wouldn't get mine from a large scale breeding operation.
But I promise, Im not attacking anyone here. If the breeders arent making any money and cant keep the retirees....and try to convince those interested in thinking twice about breeding--then why do it?
Is it possible to keep a retiree and just purchase a pup from someone else's breeding program to introduce fresh blood?? |
