Well, to the Amish, raising dogs is nothing more than a cash crop.

We don't go to them looking to buy cows or sheeps as house pets, therefore, I don't see how you can make any comparison.

When people go to buy a puppy, they believe they are getting one that will interact well with their families. The problem is that these puppies are raised with little or no human contact. Therefore, when people buy them and take them home, they sometimes find either a very timid puppy or a very aggressive puppy.

There are horror stories about the conditions in which these doggies are kept. Constantly caged, no vet care, and I shudder to think about the lack of forethought given to which two puppies are thrown together and how often they are bred. Genetic nightmares that you see so often today are the result of these kinds of breeding environments.
