It just makes no sense that buying from a Mennonite breeder after trying to do some due diligence, with no help from dog advocacy groups, is unethical but paying Lucky Dog to ship up a puppy someone bred in their SC backyard is virtuous.

Lucky dog doesn't pay anyone to breed dogs on their backyard, they just take puppies surrendered to local SC shelter... They also don't encourage future breeding (all dogs are either neutered before adoption have iron-clad clause for future neutering)

But buying from by provides monetary incentives to said breeders to keep going...
So sad that you can't see that difference [/quote]

You don’t have to pay anyone. Dealing with their most unpleasant and inconvenient consequence for free is a clear disincentive for SC to eliminate backyard breeding. Why should anyone down there clean up the problem (which can clearly be solved, as in the northeast) when rescues will deal with all the puppies?[/quote]

Dp. What is meant by ‘backyard breeding’?  We got our last purebred dog (who passed recently) from a breeder who raised dogs at her home. He had papers but not any genetic tests that I recall. Best dog ever. Is that a backyard breeder? [/quote]
