As I have said before..a serious breeder is cut from a different cloth...we think different.
The more I progressed the more breeders I met...and what an eye opener. I have been to the kennels/homes of finest of the finest, the lowest of the low and every type breeder in between...
Nothing sadder then 40 or 50 Yorkies stacked in cages, growing old, little attention, waiting for the death angel to release them to a better life...
Breeders start out with the best of intentions, then things get out of hand so easily..and I have been called more then once to go help a friend before they put a gun to their head....I have never had a problem telling a breeder friend they had too many dogs and needed to downsize. The breeders feelings are a non-issue, the dogs best interest is what counts..
Been there are few times myself... |
Thank you for your eye opening post. It's heartfelt and I have more compassion and respect for serious breeders. I can just visualize those poor dogs left in crates. I'm sure it must be so hard to have that heart to heart talk with the breeders who can't care for all the dogs properly. I wish all breeders were more like you.
Thank you for sharing!
