I notice there is a huge following of dog breeders/collectors/enthusiasts and it's pretty obvious you guys are passionate about dogs. So my question is simply this- If you are aware of the pet over population problem and the thousands of adoptable dogs being put down every day in the US how do you justify breeding? If you love dogs but you know they pay the ultimate price for what is essentially a hobby how do you feel? I realize irresponsible pet owners put the dogs directly in this situation but if you adding more dogs to the world only contributes to the problem how do you continue breeding?
Well first off when I say breeder I’m not singling out “reputable” breeders but I’m far from excusing anyone. The term reputable is highly subjective and quite frankly relatively irrelevant. The fact is ANY breeding at this time adds to an all too real problem. Unless you plan on caring for the offspring for the duration of their lives you’re adding to a surplus of dogs and cats. Many of you may have good intentions but the fact is there are more animals in the world then there are homes for them and millions of animals of all breeds suffer because of this. It€™s time to pull back on the reins and make some drastic changes and sacrifices. What might inconvenience a few could relieve pain for so many.
Ashley, In response to your post I see what you’re trying to do but there's a wee flaw in your logic- I'm currently not distributing my children around the country and just fyi I'm not looking to vent at all and I volunteer a tremendous amount of time and money to helping homeless animals.
I suppose the biggest thing I have learned from this post is the fundamental difference in other peoples motivation and my own when choosing to get a pet. Yes, I love dogs and I have 3 but I opened my door to these dogs in an attempt to help them. I do what I do because my heart goes out to those suffering and how straight a dogs back is or how curly his tail might be doesn’t have a damn thing to do with how much I’m willing to do. If consumers can’t bare to have a pet that is less than perfect well too damn bad. The price these animals pay is far too high for this “what can you do for me” attitude people have about what really amounts to a hobby. If you want to process something but a toy. I’m sorry to be so harsh but I see terrible things every day and I fear I’m slowly losing faith in humanity. Even if what you’re doing doesn’t directly effect something you still have to hold yourself accountable for the nature of this beast as a whole.
