A few years ago, a lady called me and told me she had a female sheltie and asked if she could breed her to Jake.

I said "Sorry, he's neutered."

I don't think she was a "backyard breeder" in the sense that she was some malevolent person. I think she was simply ignorant of all of the problems we have with pet overpopulation and that she didn't realize she was being irresponsible.

I wasn't mad at her at all - she didn't know any better.
