I am curious about all the talk regarding 'bettering' a breed. I am definately not condoning the practices of puppy mills, i have seen one, and seriously, these people had at least 100 dogs on thier property, 30 fox terriers per pen! Having said that, i own 2 dogs, a 12yr old female doberman and a maltese x shihtzu female who i breed with to supply pre-ordered puppys. (not the doberman)! Now, i guess im a backyard breeder, should i be put in the same catergory as puppy mill suppliers? It all seems to be a bit generalised. How do people get away with having 100 plus dogs on thier property anyway?
Oh, and how much more can we 'better' our purebreds? in my eyes both my dogs are perfect thanku very much, purebred or not, lol. Better a breed more? Only if your upset it cant look after itself, make its own doctor apps perhaps? Seriously, i understand the problem with unwanted dogs but educating people is the key to fixing it, not abuse. sensible answers only thnx.
