I have heard alot of people say this about people who "back yard breed". Why does breeding our pets make us stupid?Many of you have asked why we do this when dog shelters are so full.Many people, when they choose to get a dog, dont want a mutt, an older dog, or a dog that they dont know its background. I know that this is exactly how I felt.By getting a dog from an individual, they know they are getting a purebreed(something many dog owners want), they can see the parents, and they can choose their own specific color, size, age, sex and not just be choosing "off the shelf". Just like when a couple chooses to have an individual have a baby for them, instead of adopting from an orpahnage.But this however is widely accepted, even with all the kids that need homes.I have grown up around people who do this "backyard breeding" as you call it, and these dogs go to good homes, they arn't abandonded on the streets. So why are we called selfish for doing this???
