Breeding crossbreds?

[Jordan S.]

you guys can't just assume that if you breed your crossbreds they will be poorly cared for and brought up? A friend of ours breeds dachsund mixes and has been breeding them for years now . She feeds the mother the very best food (canidea) She gives her health supplements,she always gets vet checks for the mother. Durning the last month or so of pregnancy she contacts people and makes an effort to find good homes for the pups,and she requires her buyers to spay/nueter. The puppies are sweet.I got to hold and play with one and how CUTE (that one is going to go to her new home next Friday). Her puppies always find good homes. they are cute cuddly and playful who wouldn't love em. Actually she told me that she was going to breed just one more litter depending on how the female was doing and then spay the female and nueter the male after the litter had gone to new homes.(the female has had three litters so far and she is 5 years old ,(35 years old in human years).
so really you guys...if someone breeds croosbreds you cant be so stereotypical and just assume that the parents and pups are poorly cared for and are going to end up at shelters. Thats not always the case

I don't think they are all poorly cared for. I just think it is unethical to breed them. Period. No matter what food they are fed or whether they get good homes or not, it is a joke to be breeding mixed breeds when shelters are already killing thousands per day.
Did you ask your friend what she is going to do to help stop the killing of 4 million dogs per year? Because that is what she is contributing to.

But WHY breed more mutts??? For each puppy she sold, that is a home that a shelter dog could have had!!! Sure the pups go to great homes.. but there are lots of mutts in the shelters that NEED great homes!

There is absolutly no excuse for breeding pet quality dogs while thousands are euthanized every year because of lack of homes!!

So what.. ALL puppies are cute and cuddly.. That doesn't mean you should breed mixed breed dogs.. They aren't contributing anything, they aren't producing to better the breed.. cause there is no ' breed ' they are breeding to sell puppies for cash.. You got sucked in by a cute puppy and a good story and you think it's okay to breed mutts for profit??? Wanna buy a bridge??
