I am tired of people breeding a dog till it is half dead and then selling it. Any responsible breeder will neuter or spay and give the dog a forever home. Instead of selling Him/Her!

The sad part is, I think some of these people start out with good intentions, but don't realize there's not much money in breeding, at least if you're honest and doing right by the dogs.  It too often ends up being more about the money :(

Ironic how the majority of our so called "great kennels" and reputable breeders are the ones who do this all the time.  There are so many well known kennels in the US, that many on this board call great reputable kennels, who do this every year it seems.

To many people, a dog is just livestock. Nothing more or less and no connection ever made or attempted.

the alternative to selling a dog that is no longer useful for income would be PTS. maybe some of them do get into a home that loves them.

Are you a breeder ? Dogs are livestock. If you have ever dealt with the law, that is how they are looked at. Livestock. I really like dogs, but I am a realist. Walt Disney did not do the dog world a favor with all their movies, thats for sure.

Breeding a dog does not make it half dead. Do you have a specific example of a dog that is half dead from breeding ? Or are you talking about a bitch ? 

You want to come on a public forum and bitch about something, but don't want to tell anyone which bitch, which kennel, and which horrible person you are talking about. C'mon, and then you want someone to take you seriously ?

 Jeff,

 It was a general statement. People sell dogs at 6 and 7 years old because the dog has produced pup after pup and now is no good to them. A breeder should breed to make the breed better not for a profit then sell a dog just because it is no good for them any more. I am a Breeder i Bred my female at 2 and then at 4. She is now spayed and still lives in my home and sleeps in bed not in a concrete kennel! I must have hit a nerve Jeff!

I assure you, you did not hit a nerve with Jeff.

He has a point; are you speaking in general terms, or do you have an example?
