I'm not saying that mutts are bad or that purebreds are better than them. I'm saying that many people are superficial and want to buy purebreds...as much as you want to preach its just the way people are. I understand your compassion and sympathize with any dogs that have been treated unfairly and are in shelters but that doesn't mean that my breeding my dogs is a bad thing. I'm no breeder by any means this is my first litter ever and don't plan on many more. What I don't condone is puppy mills and/or people breeding the crap out of dogs just to make as much money as possible. Hmmmm....sounds a lot like another business I'm very familiar with. Like I said before I screen all buyers and know that my dogs are going to a good home where they will not end up in a shelter. I even do the same when selling big snakes....are you going to tell me its wrong to breed big snakes because of a few dumbasses have let them go in the wild too?
