What's your opinion on breeding do you think it's right or do you think it's wrong. Well personaly I think it's not good because there's already millions of dogs that don't have a home and are staving every day. So why make more, and if you wanted one special kind of dog, well don't you think all of them are special whether they have spots or solid colors.
What do you think????

I belive this was posted not too long ago, but I believe if you are truley IMPROVING the breed that is fine. Which requires careful testing on the parents & pups, great breeding lines, trying to get rid of genetic problems etc... therefore no money in your pocket when you are done. But only for that reason. Otherwise NO!

I agree, I only support it if the breeder is actually trying to improve the breed and not earning some extra cash. We need someone to keep breeds alive and healthy but definately not bybs or puppy mills.

I agree. I don't think that breeding is a bad thing, because many people like purebreds too. and I also think that breeding is fun, because you get to see the babies from when they're first born:)

I think good breeders who love and are absolute experts on the breed and are doing it for the better of the breed are fine. They know it isn't all roses.

I personally do not like people who just go "I need to know which breed is better to breed." Some people are doing it for the money and others just think it's gonna be fun. Both groups think "All I have to do is find a stud and my dog will take care of herself."

Well to them I say it's not fun. Small dogs and dogs with naturally big heads both can have probelms, you have to know how to cut the cord because a mother dog can bite it too close and cause a hernia. They hardly do any research at all. Some of the people breeding for fun say they are trying to better the breed but in reality they know nothing about breeding probelms out of the line or genetics. Those breeders are the ones I hate. Doing it for money or just for fun.
