Rottie,
Don't want to bum you out too bad, but that
number is probably way to low.
To the shame of humankind, breeding dogs
is not not only done by "responsible "
breeders of one breed, but are mass produced
by puppy mills to be sold at pet stores
around the country. Puppies are sold like
produce, and people fuel this industry by
buying that "little doggie in the window".
Please visit the site of others who feel
that there are WAY too many dogs being mass
produced for profit, than there are homes
available for them.
