Agreed. We got our dog from a puppy rescue place. (Actually
someone's very smelly house...dogs were treated real well though.)
She's been wonderful. It breaks my heart when people get dogs from
breeders when they don't need to (when they don't use them for
hunting, etc.) when there are many other dogs that are killed everyday
for lack of an owner.

Nah, reputable breeders only have a few dogs a year for sale--the ones
who sell competitive (dog show quality) animals make you sign a huge
contract often requiring you to have the animal neutered or spayed if
not shown, and also giving them say over stud and dam choices as well
as right of first refusal on the puppies.

Here in the South just about every mutt available at the shelter has
some pitbull in it, and I wouldn't own a pit bull or a pit bull mix.

Also, someone who would buy from a breeder would not consider a rescue
mutt. Believe me I know, having attended a few cat shows with rescue
organizations that thought they would be good places to showcase cats
for adoption. Not.

Dogs from breeders are bread to look a certain way. Violently
unstable? Untrainable? So what? It LOOKS good.

Mutts Pure breads.

As the former owner of a pure breed dog who shredded my son's ear with
no warning IAWTP. My mutt (shepherd/lab mix) is a doll.

Not if you WANT a chihuahua. I've had mutt rescues, purebred rescues
and purebred from breeders. Purebreds have their problems, but if you
want a particular kind of dog...

I think the problem with mutts and puppy mill purebreds is they are
more likely to be owned by people who will let them breed. Good
breeders produce far fewer puppies either directly or indirectly.

I DO encourage rescues. Most rescue orgs will also require
sterilization.

Now tell me, which one of these dogs would you want to have as your wide

How do Breeders kill shelter dogs?

The inference is that for every dog that is bought from a breeder is
one less dog who will be rescued from the pound.
