I agree.... BUT.... in ANY profession.... there are good and bad, and I have known "rep. breeders" to dump off "unwanted" pups to the shelters. At first the few I heard of and actually recommended to people, because I thought they were great (from interviews and seeing litters etc... and the way they "distribute.") I was very shocked. Human nature is bizare! This was not in just one state, but several.
Again, that's why I was so hostile... NOT ALL breeders are bad, I agree with that. I also believe we don't need to breed for awhile. I doubt any canines are going extinct soon. But again, this is MY life, what I see, what I live... I sickens me. I have to deal with the animal organizations daily... it hurts my heart. Yes, I can come off badly, but maybe now you know why......
By the way, I am a "so called parrot expert," and I belong to an avian organization... a lot of people there "breed" their parrots, and I HATE it. I was a guest lecturer there, and stated so much. It's not just dogs, its snakes, parrots, cats, rats, etc...... Sorry, I just don't believe in it, and I have several parrots here now because they were "bred" and people didn't realize that they have an I.Q. of 85-100 and live about 60 to 80 years... now I have them, which my 2 year old will inherit. The list goes on. The poor things were a "burden" on people. Again, that's why I work with animals and not with people.
