[quote=Anonymous]We are going to be picking up our puppy soon from a suset of breeders for the particular kind of dog we’ve chosen. Reiterating what others have said-reputable breeders are worried about the health of the breed and identify dogs who present less than ideal characteristics (back issues and eyes for example) and do not breed them and require anyone who buy them to spay/neuter so as not to risk adding these weaknesses into the gene pool. The breeders I went to don’t show these dogs (they’re breeding to a standard not ‘recognized’) and every single one of the 5 breeders we met or talked in just in love with these dogs and care who gets them as pets.

While I grew up with mutts and loved my dogs I agree w/PPs that perpetuating the smorgasbord of genetics or even idolizing their salvation as the highest form of pet ownership is no gift to the species. While I have ZERO intention of breeding the dog we get if I did I would adhere to the ethics agreements of the breeders and 100% know I’d be creating a better dog choice for another lucky family.[/quote]
