DOG BREEDING

   Some of us at Ruffhouse recently participated in a discussion about dog breeding. In the end we agreed to disagree. That got us to thinking this same topic would make for great blogging!  In our discussions we threw around whether or not backyard breeding should be banned. Some opinions held that breeding should be banned altogether, whether it be backyard or registered breeding. Maybe registered breeding is okay?? Wouldn't  dogs become extinct if we outlawed breeding altogether? How could they become extinct when hundreds of thousands are euthanized each year because they are homeless? Anyone visited a reservation lately? Isn't it difficult to find a purebred dog unless you use a breeder? With all the backyard breeding and pet store dogs from puppy mills, don't you get into alot of health problems where a registered breeder would be more experienced and knowledable?
   These are some of the questions that got tossed around in our discussion. We would love to hear other peoples' opinions on this topic!!!
