I doubt it will ever end. I just spoke with a BYB earlier through email and he still didnt get it.
Most of the people coming here are not asking those questions being back yard breeders. I would guess that most of them are oopsie litters that were not intended. I have come to realize that when you are dealing with people with oopsie litters you have to be political about it, which means you cannot point fingers. The best thing to do is to educate them on the over population problem and help them find the resources out there to get free or low cost spay/abortions. It isnt easy, but just remember that for every person that you enlighten with facts in a non threatening way that will actually listen to you, that you have saved more unborn animals. You wont convince them all but if you convince just 1 you have done an awesome thing.
Just be patient, I know it can and does get tiresome. But they have to learn from someone and sometimes compassion and understanding can go along way to re-educate.

It is fast becoming that way. But you know what? The people that ask these questions don't care. They just want an answer and they will keep on breeding the POS's till kingdom come. It is the nature of the beast. People do not want to have their feeling hurt. They do not want to be told that their dog is a POS and that breeding it would just bring more POS's into this world. Everyone wants to be spoken to nicely and kindly and all that crap, but, the people that have been around for a while, the ones that CONTRIBUTE to the dog world, by breeding and producing the right dogs, the ones that spent years in the trenches training dogs and people, ARE GETTING TIRED of saying the same thing over and over. Why aren't people listening? George Patton said it best "If you tell them dirty, they'll listen the first time". Well, some people have done that to, only to have their answers deleted. Someone here told a couple of days ago that I do not communicate well. Tyke and Wooh have said it best in this post, As long as we have people around who are willing to speak the truth, we will be OK.

I'm sick of the freaking questions. Like the other girl said the more you say spay and neuter your pets, 5 more questions about the same thing pop up about their pregnant dog or cat.
Last night I checked out my county's animal shelter adoption site to look at the dogs available for adoption. Normally there aren't many there, but right now the shelter is FULL, and it's mostly unwanted puppies. It's just sad knowing that most of these puppies will end up there.
If these people can't get afford to get there pets spayed or neutered, there are programs that will help them pay a portion or all of the expense. If the people just do it out of ignorance, then they don't deserve to have pets.

BYB site??? Hell yeah!
There are more idiotic morons here than in there are Trolls who live under the bridge! This site has been nick named the MORON LEAGUE.
The very people here that are true dedicated dog people and real pet owners try to educate the general public on breeds, ownership, training, showing, breeding, health, etc. and these morons still come up with no brainer questions.
I am beginning to think the only thing PURE BRED here is STUPIDITY!
There has been more genuine knowledgeable advice given and the moron league members just cannot seem to get it. They want to wait in emergency cases and not pay for veterinarian care or they want to breed mixed POS and wonder why they can't register their crap...the list of stupid questions goes on and on and on. You think these idiots would learn something here? Ha!
Stick around and YOU too will be having your answers deleted with the rest of us because you too may be TRUTHFUL and share your knowledge of dogs. These morons don't want to hear the truth.

I am sick to death of them. It seems for every one time you say spay and neuter your dog five more new questions come up. Will it ever end?

The only dumb question is one not asked. I'm thinking a few of these questions are just some internet bordom. Someone thinking up silly nonsense for attention. But then, someone might not know.... sad, but better to ask than risk the health and welfare of their pets.
And you have the option to ignore the ones you 'are tired of.'

Remember if we can educate even 1, it will help reduce the numbers
