Everyone is entitled to their opinion and preferences. While you can tell people your opinion, maybe a thread of a proud owner showing off his dogs isn't the best one to express those opinions.

IMO, another thread should have been started to express the opinions "Shelter vs. Breeding Programs".

All of that being said; I own seven pure bred dogs and I have had an accidental litter of puppies. We even kept three of the little monster puppies. Once we made that mistake though, everyone was neutered, no more puppies, ever. So, I understand why someone wants to own purebred dogs; however, I have also RUN a shelter. We rescued over 50 dogs in our short time running the facility. We paid full medical bills (even paying for neutering, spaying, heartworms treatment, etc.) we found all of those animals a happy (and hopefully forever) home.

Our general rule was; for every purebred dog we BOUGHT, we donated $200 to our local shelter and automatically donate $500 every year to our local shelter. So, hopefully, it would offset itself some.

I am an extreme advocate for rescuing over breeding, but..I can not control anyone and I have no desire to. I present my opinion and let them make up their mind. I simply present them with the fact that; 7-8 million Cats and Dogs are euthanized every year.

I also want to add, all of our cats are rescue animals.

To the OP: those are beautiful puppies, I hope you have forever homes lined up for them!
