Why am I against breeding you ask?

My rant for the day. I am against breeding. 

WHY? You think just a few litters is no big deal? You think you love YOUR dog so much you need more? You love a breed so much you dedicate your life to breeding them? Unfortunately too many "breeders" don't care about genetics. They pass on awful health conditions, behavior issues..and simply don't care. Keep them crated in filth..never allow them to run and play...TOUCH GRASS..have human interaction. They don't care about shots or deworming..flea treatment..heartworm preventative. All they see are DOLLAR SIGNS. 

Kasey for instance was bred, GOD knows how many times. She has horrible food and skin allergies. Her puppies likely have the same issues. Do you think the owners who "bought" those puppies are spending the thousands I've spent on helping her overcome those issues? Perhaps some, but not all. 

She had to have three nipples REMOVED because they were infected and causing her such discomfort. Also she was bred SO many times she often loses her bladder. Yes, she dribbles pee when she stands up. She can't help it..she had TOO MANY BABIES. Now she is on a special hormone medication to help with the issue, but still will probably end up in diapers some day. 

Do you suppose the other BREEDER MOM dogs are treated as well as Kasey? NO, they are tossed outside, no one even cares or NOTICES they are having issues. 

 Kasey is also what "breeders" like to call a DESIGNER BREED. Which is a fancy way of saying an on-purpose MUTT. That's right I said it. Your Yorkie Poo, Chi-Weenies..they are all MUTTS, bred without a license in someones back yard. SORRY. Kasey's "Designer Breed" is called a Bull Pointer. 

Anyway, that's a rant for another day. This is in a nutshell, why I am against irresponsible breeders! Save your arguments about the FEW decent breeders for someone else's eyes. 

 Phew. Venting is necessary. Now off to spend some quality time with my flipping AWESOME rescued dog, who is NO LONGER forced to make someone money by being over bred!

**Please excuse all the cute pics..how else am I going to show off my cutie pie!  ;)  For "before pics" of Kasey, few my previous blog entry.  She is looking FABULOUS thanks to allergy testing..and lots of patience!  The right food and allergy shots are the most important...along with the rest of her daily meds/vitamins!
