I personally feel that if we put a 5 year moratorium on ALL breeding that we wouldn't have the problem we have now. It would force people to get their dogs from a rescue or shelter. I would LOVE to put the shelter employees out of a job.

I will NEVER get a dog from anywhere except a shelter, but, I'm not everyone and people will get their pets from where they so choose. My only wish is that people would consider a shelter dog before going to a breeder....now....understand that I realize that many won't do that because they have something specific in mind, but, they are out there if you look hard enough.

Sorry if I offend anyone, but, I vote for shelter dogs....they need a home more than a breeder's pup...just my opinion...take it for what it's worth (which isn't much! lol )
