On another "forum" I am on (its not actually a website based upon a forum, its a game, but has offtopic fourms ect in it)
Some one asked why do you breed?
And why shouldnt you buy from pet stores and breed dogs from petstores. Most seem to think that responsible breeders sell to pet stores. They seem to think Im a total idiot for even thinking that no good breeder sells to pet stores.
so whats your opnion on the first quote then what others think of pet stores?
Offcourse you all know my view, as I have expressed it before ect. But I would like other views to back it up aswell.
thanks.

Some one asked why do you breed?
So, I was reading the other thread, where I got to yell at people >> But, I did learn some more about animal, or specifically dog breeding there. But, what I was wondering was, what's everyone's opinion on it? I guess, narrowing it down to cat and dog breeders.
Personally, I've never been a fan of breeding animals, I refuse to buy a dog off a breeder because for me I can't not think about all the animals sitting waiting to be adopted in the pound. I don't understand how people who are going for a family pet don't adopt a puppy from a shelter or answer an ad. Most of the time I see ads for free puppies or kittens.
Nor will I ever have a pet that is not spayed or neutered. I have accidently had a couple of litters of kittens once, only because the cat I claimed as mine was actually feral and I was still in the process of getting her used to me, it took long enough for her to let me pet her, let alone pick her up and get her in a crate to go to the vets! After she was basically part of the family where we able to get her down there.
Being worried about what you get from the pound...all animals you own should be properly cared for, have their shots and checkups from the vet.
Given my opinion though, I know it's not an "evil" practice. And I know some people do enjoy showing dogs.
If you can, I do want to know other reasons why people breed.
