Full-throated Amen to this, brother.The dog breeder thing is tricky, many of my Pitbull rescue friends would never buy any dog from any breeder, and neither would I.
While I agree with them that there are tons of healthy well bred dogs in shelters waiting to be released from prison...
if all breeders stopped breeding dogs permanently, eventually many breeds would die out.
There should be stricter standards for breeders and enforcement should be stepped up a lot.
I also wish that there was less of an appetite for breeds that are inherently unhealthy by design.
I know breeding super duper weird dogs because they amuse us is popular, but I wish humans had more consideration/respect for the life they are creating when we make dogs that we know full well have a lot of health issues.
We get our share of wild canines out in the yard.
Might love Ricky, but would NEVER part with Charlie!
Well, that's not a nice thing to say about your dog!Elephant butte
