No one's shooting down anyone, but responsible breeders ARE a factor in the homeless population, as are PM's and BYB's.... I'm not, and never will be.
Sooooooo many people have the mindset "Oh, shelter dogs are just mangy mutts... I'll spend however many hundreds of dollars for a breeder's dog, who has papers, yadda yadda yadda"
I personally just do not see the need for a pure bred, or papers, or whatever reason when so many dogs die in shelters and live in rescues and in "foster homes" I just really don't see how someone could do that. NO, i'm not saying any of you are horrible for getting your dogs from breeders, I really could care less as long as they're taken care of. I just don't see why so many are stuck on getting pure bred dogs, or strictly dogs from breeders.
I've never seen too many people do with their pure bred dog what the dog was originally bred for, but they're STUCK on buying from breeders.
