Quotes:
"yeah but do we really need more dogs in our population with thousands of healthy dogs are dying every year??"

"I don't know but it just sickens me thinking there is tons of mixed breed dogs (beutiful by the way) that are sitting in a shelter watching their life pass them by."

Well there are 2,344 golden retrievers (to pick a breed) on petfinder right now, and many purebred puppy litters. So when a "reputable breeder" (not to mention any names) sells puppies, don't they also lessen the chance for shelter puppies to be adopted? I mean they cancelled out a family that was looking for a golden puppy. If you read my siggie I hope you agree that all breeders, even show breeders, should stop unless they are willing to do something with the shelter dogs that lost their chance because of them.
