Minding my own business... Spending my Time and money to impress no one but myself… I have a love for the k-9 persuasion. I have spent a multiplex of Money, personal hours, feeding vetting Training… and raise my K-9 companions... Picking up Dew until I could see it in my sleep… My dogs are part of my family… I want you to know… not that your option matters; when I purchased my Buddies, I was awarded the rights passed on to me by another K-9 enthusiast, to do what I as a responsible K-9 owner should do… Love, enjoy and train my buddies to best of my ability's… Well, I do not need to justify my desires to give another K-9 enthusiast the same Joys, disappointments and crazy calamities that my family and I have shared with the parents of my Back-Yard Puppies… Yes I stated that quit clearly….. Those puppies were conceived in my Back-yard… but born in my house, not some dirty hole in the backyard in a pen. To clarify, the meaning of back yard breeder… I would not let my dogs do their mating thing in the house, so I guess technically I am a Back-Yard Breeder, or my 2 dogs are…. Now if the dogs had done there thing on the porch, I would be a porch pooch breeder… Or maybe if it had happen in a trailer, they would have called me Trailer Trash?The reason I write this to you today, is because I have only one question for those who believe they are breeding those K-9's they have, in places that make their puppies any less Back-Yard bred… Now let's be honest with one another, and you know who I am talking about… if you are pointing a hypocritical finger at me…. Where did you start your Operation? Was it in your back-Yard or was it in a Glass house? You know what they say about Glass houses? I bet your Dogs are still out in the back-Yard... Only I bet your Yard is full of unwanted Dogs, you cannot sell at the Horrible outrageous prices you think you are justified in charging… pawning those un-use able dogs off on other people with No way to make up for what you have done to the breed, that you Claim you are trying to protect… If you truly want to protect these dogs, and want to stop the horrible inbreeding that is going on, the true Large Back Yard breeders (17 adults or more) (Most of whom are true Puppy mills)… are doing this for one reason (: Money :) Most of the people who are pointing fingers at those of us who have 2 dogs That mate in the back-yard… which in most cases have better bloodlines and Smarter dogs due to the fact they still have brains… not bred to the point they are just a face…. Or a Pay check… Maybe you would be better served by helping the new family owners make the correct decisions to breed their companion… or to have the companion Altered… But by selling someone a puppy and not giving them that choice at the Horrible prices you are charging for un-show able, un-useable 2500.00 dollar dog… it's no wonder someone like me who will sell a puppy to someone for an outrageous 1500.00 full rights, should have that Parental Right after paying good money for their Buddy… Most people who are going to keep a dog long enough to have puppies, is going to know how to treat and care for puppies… Remember they have spent a Multiplex of hours picking up Dew and vetting the Parents of the Back- yard Puppies they will now be caring for and placing, just like the ones you claim you should be the only one qualified to produce…. Oh yah… there are reasons to Spay and Neuter… Over population is a very large concern and it is very real. So why then don't you as the qualified large breeder, Alter your Dogs? Or breed 1 maybe 3 litters every heat cycle less then you do? Money that's why! So don't point your greedy hypocritical finger at little ol me, because I only have 1 female and I would not let her have more than 1 litter a year… even if I bred her once a year for her whole life… I bet my female would produce less offspring in her entire life, than you will produce in one 6 month cycle. So go ahead call me a Back-Yard breeder… But you don't want to know what I am calling you when your name comes to mind! Because you can believe me it is not that Nice!
