Even if the breeder has had the mating planned for a long time with homes lined up ?I am absolutely disgusted by anyone who is still breeding at the moment, there is just no excuse at all. I have said this before and I know that breeders do not agree.
I think that anyone who thinks they can justify having pups at the moment is living with there head up their a**e
my personal feeling on this is that those could be homes for dogs that already exist that desperatly need homes.Even if the breeder has had the mating planned for a long time with homes lined up ?
But a rescue is not suitable for everyone,myself included.my personal feeling on this is that those could be homes for dogs that already exist that desperatly need homes.
Obviously this is a flawed concept as not everyone that wants a puppy will want a rescue; but this i feel is partly due to the misconception that all rescues come with probems and issues, you cant get a puppy etc etc etc.
Rescues often have puppies, it just means looking for the right rescue. Also hunting through different rescue centres you will find blanket rules dont always apply. I know people with young children who have rescues, same as FT workers. There will be some rescues with blanket policies but not all do this, some do still assess on individual basis in relation to the dog and the applicant.But a rescue is not suitable for everyone,myself included.
Those that want a puppy will not take an older rescue so I don't see how they are taking homes away from those in rescue.
Plus you will loose quality,good bloodlines and breed type.i think that there are two sides to it....
There will always be people wanting puppies, or those with young children not being able to take on a rescue... the question is, are those people willing to miss out on a dog for one, two or three years???
I see nothing wrong with breeding if done the proper way. Of course if those who breed responsible stop, the puppyfarm dogs will rise in demand.
So that makes it right to keep pumping out the puppies when times are so hard?Plus you will loose quality,good bloodlines and breed type.
Puppies are lucky in rescue as they tend to be homed alot quicker than the older dogs.Rescues often have puppies, it just means looking for the right rescue.

But this is an excellent time to route out the puppy farmersi think that there are two sides to it....

Not at all as good breeders do NOT pump out puppiesSo that makes it right to keep pumping out the puppies when times are so hard?
Aot of good breeders only breed every couple of years anyhow,not that it will have much impact because there are always the BYB and PF's to fill their shoes.I'm sure not breeding (or not breeding half as much) for a couple of years won't completely destroy everything.
If people really want one of their pups they would wait a year, and if they weren't willing then are they the type of people that you would want your pup going to anywayEven if the breeder has had the mating planned for a long time with homes lined up ?
One or two litters aren't going to make any difference to bloodlines or qualityPlus you will loose quality,good bloodlines and breed type.
Again this depends,it could be the bitches last litter and the breeder wants to keep a pup back,so waiting a year might not be a viable option.If people really want one of their pups they would wait a year, and if they weren't willing then are they the type of people that you would want your pup going to anyway
Again it depends,see above,in general no but it might make a difference to the breeder continuing with what they have built up and established over the years.One or two litters aren't going to make any difference to bloodlines or quality
