* I really want to know everyone's reasoning for breeding or for buying a pure bred dog....im not attacking, I just want to be educated on what YOU think is going on with full bred dogs and the people breeding them. I'm NOT bashing.. I just want to know. So, if you're mature enough to handle this topic, please, come on in....*
Help me to understand why there are millions, literally millions of dogs out there that need a home (to be rescued) and people then buy from a breeder....
Why? What's the point in having a full bred dog?
Some people show their dogs... why? It's not for the dogs sake...the dog doesn't understand what champion means and then most people whose dog gets to "champion" then gets bred to another "champion" to have "champion" puppies that sell for tons of money. So, it would seem to people that owners are doing it purely for themselves.. they want a champion dog, they want to make bug bucks off their puppies, etc..
Take my aunt for example. Love her to death and absolutely love her dogs. She has two purebred Samoyeds. Beautiful animals... her youngest she is going to breed... she has not yet done the breeding and she already has TWO PUPPIES SOLD. Why?
My husband and I are planning our next adoption. We've decided on a large to giant breed dog and are currently leaning towards Great Danes. There is wonderful rescue in LA that we plan to adopt him/her from, they always have puppies because for whatever reason the dogs weren't good enough and were shoved off to the pound or were taken to the rescue. Why?
I know that everyone and if not everyone, then most people are aware of the millions of dogs that need forever homes... so why do these same people buy dogs? And if you breed dogs, why do you breed? I've seen pictures of many of your dogs and there are indeed beautiful, but why do you do it?
Reminder: I'm not bashing or attacking.... I'd just like to hear what everyone says/thinks/feels and I understand that this is a hot topic...
