I believe that we should start threads on every topic that people post about here. Maybe there should even be 'Controversial Issue Sub-Form'.

Here's what bothers me:
-People that are 100% against breeders. They think rescues are the only way to go and the whole dog over-population problem is the fault of all breeders. They don't care if it is a reputable breeder or a puppy-mill. To them, all breeders are terrible.
-ANY kind of designer dog. Whether it is a labradoodle, a pom-poo-shon-micro-miny-teacup-yorkie, or even a sports mix like a border-jack or a border-staffy. If you want a mutt, go to the pound.
-People who think anyone with an intact dog is a terrible person (although a lot of people with intact dogs *are* horrible people).
-Hannah the Pet Society
-People who say they can't volunteer at dog shelters because it 'makes them sad'.
-Overweight dogs. I have lost track of the number of times that people have said that Fable is too skinny, when in reality she is at an ideal weight.
-And what really irks me the most is when people think they know everything there is to know about dogs, and then proceed to tell other people what to do with their dogs. There is a reason why I do what I do with Fable, and if I don't ask for your opinion, please, for the love of God, keep it to yourself. No, I do not want to use a wire crate, feed that food, or go to that training class just because *you* think they are awesome.
