    A min pin is a Miniature Pinscher..

    Most of my dogs in my life came from BYBs and Puppymills. I've seen the problems they can have and how sometiems it affects them at old age and some at young. My old GSD, Hannah, was put down due to aggression, turns out her WHOLE litter including her mother, was also put down due to aggression. My other GSD, Simon, was pretty aggressive as well. But he was also very family oriented unlike Hannah and we could control him. He also had bad hip problems in his old age as GSDs are prone to Hip Dysplasia I believe.
    My old poodle, Alex, he is terrified of everything due to lack of socialization as a puppy. Takes him a very long time to get used to something otherwise he's pretty much scared of everything. His new owner now, says he just enjoys being in the house all the time. I have more but no time to talk about them.

    BYBs shouldn't exist and I think it's rediculous when people are breeding for the "extra buck". If you can't afford the animals it's about time you start thinking about maybe rehoming a few, you shouldn't take in more if you can't handle them all.

    I agree,If you think that breeding is going to put money in your pocket you are wrong!

    I see from horse_lover's profile that he is only 13. This person and his sister need to learn what we all have about the plight of dogs and cats.

    I certainly hope that the dogs are not bred. But I think we need to educate both of these people, not condemn them.

    Until you have worked with a shelter or have done rescue work yourself, you really can't understand how bad the problem is. At 13, shelters won't let you volunteer. But visiting a couple of animal control places might give a hint of the problems.

    Puppies are cute. They are also a lot of work and expense. Please try to get your sister to rethink this.
