  • I mean, it seems kind of heartless to have a dog family and then break it up for profit.


  • its a sad reality

    we should try to thin the over populted dogs

    look at all the dogs in shelters

    and if a dog i own accidentally gets pregnant

    i would love to keep all the puppies

    but i would prolly give em to freinds and family so they can see each other often


  • to make money. if you have paperwork for purebred puppies, you can make a lot of money.


  • Because they are ignorant and would rather increase the unneeded animal population instead of helping the animals that are already existing.


  • If everyone were to keep the puppies that their dog had, then only one person would have dogs.


  • Dogs dont have as big as an emotional mind set then humans. I have to agree that that may seem a little mean, but think if they kept them, then they would have babies and their babies have babies until they cant stand it, or they could sell the pup so generations of dogs will follow. Does it feel right to keep dogs and have limmited food and space for them or sell them and keep them healthy and happy, even if they dont have a family there for them?


  • Well... sometimes its like a job or a way to get money.., if you like dogs its a great way to get close to them and the puppies can live in a new home and have new experiaces..

    I know somebody who breeds dogs

    9 they're a family friend) I they have 16 dogs,, they live in maine I i just visited them 3 weeks ago! I love dogs so it was paradise to me.. Also if nobody breeds dogs then it would be impossible to get one and you would never get a loving pet!!! I hope my answerr helps you decide that breeding dogs is a good thing!! : P


  • So what, when the dog has puppies they're supposed to keep all 9+ of them? We have 4 dogs, parents + 2 puppies, and it's more than a handful.



    My dog had puppies, we kept two of them, and then sold the others off in pairs to families, so they could remain together. Plus we all get together at my family's cabin every few months (but our dog is a bit of a rare breed; white Golden Retriever. Google it, the puppies look like little polar bears!).


  • When people have dogs and then allow them to breed and keep all the dogs it's called hording. It is just awful for the dogs and the person to live with all the dogs and the people.


  • Puppies are weaned and independent (or should be) by the time they are being sold.



    Everything "leaves the nest" eventually. Just like teenagers leave their house at 18, puppies are sold at the appropriate age in which they would have probably strayed from their parents anyway.


  • It's even worse when people breed a litter and try to keep them all..


  • Most people do it for greed. But, there are people that actually breed to improve the breed and don't do it for money. They do it for the love of the breed.


  • Because they are ignorant backyard breeders that are contributing to the overpopulation of animals. Dogs that are being put down in shelters everyday because of the ignorance. To many dogs and not enough homes and some people aren't smart enought to get their dogs neutered/spayed. It's sickening.



    They are using their dogs as money making puppy breeding machines. DISGUSTING.
