[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Responsible breeders will take their dogs back for life and provide them a home if at any point the owner is not able to.
[b]
While it might be viewed as more "ethical" to rescue a dog, purchasing a dog from a responsible breeder does not contribute to over population[/b].[/quote]

Please explain.[/quote]

Because the breeder takes responsibility for homing the dog for life.[/quote]

Which affects the dog overpopulation in what way?  It may give one dog (or however many dogs the breeder takes responsibility for) a guarantee of a home.  It has absolutely no effect on the problem of pet overpopulation.  The breeder is still producing dogs, when dogs need homes elsewhere.

Probably the better term is overpopulation of unwanted dogs.

Every single self-righteous shelterdog owner out there better for darn sure never have biological children of their own.  there are thousands and thousands of children in need of good homes, right?[/quote]

Actually no, there are not thousands and thousands of children in need of good homes.  You might try talking to some couples who are trying to adopt.  [/quote]

adopt babies not children. Wednesday's child on NBC features a child that needs a home - foster kids are available. [/quote]

I hate people like you. Have you ever talked to an adoptive parent of a teen? [b]Those of us who choose to adopt, can also choose to adopt a baby. We don’t have to save the world.[/b] [/quote]

^Definitely.

Also, people who want a specific type of puppy from breeders feel similarly.
