In my opinion, we shouldn't stop breeding all together. There will always be puppy mills, even if it was a law to stop breeding. So, the reputable breeders stop breeding, and puppy mills skyrise. In turn, we have alot of unhealthy dogs, and virtually no healthy ones because the healthy ones have stopped breeding.
It is my opinion that there should always be boundaries when breeding, and that when you want to pick out a good breeder from a bad, you do not pick the one that breeds mutts, because the one that breeds mutts will undeniably add to the 80% amount of mutts that are in shelters as opposed to the purebred dogs.
There are over 800 breeds in this entire world. I'm pretty sure that if one wanted to have the "perfect" hunting dog or herding dog or whatnot, they could go take their pick without unnessicarily adding to the problem themselves. And if one wants a mutt, they should go to the shelter and get one, rather than breeding for the "perfect" one for whatever task they deem worthy enough to add more dogs to the population.
