I can't say I support breeders really because you will never see me talking them up and encouraging people to buy dogs from them. I am against BYB and puppy mills of course, but I am okay with responsible breeders who do it for betterment of the breed. The problem is that there are so few REALLY responsible ones. Sometimes the ones who seem responsible to an Average Joe turn out to be extremely irresponsible. So I never quite believe it when people say they got their dog from a responsible breeder. Not that I think they're lying to me, just that I think they don't know.
My dogs and cats are all shelter babies and will ALWAYS be for the rest of my life. I will absolutely never buy a dog from a breeder. I spend all of my time fostering and doing shelter work trying to fix the homeless problem. I could never justify buying a dog when SO MANY are dying in the shelters. I just couldn't do it at all. I'm not scoffing at those of you who do buy from breeders, I'm just saying my feelings on the subject for me.
