Responsible breeding
With the tragic number of shelter animals losing their lives for lack of homes, we hope that people seeking a pet will adopt from a shelter or rescue organization. And for those seeking a purebred dog, keep in mind that nearly 30 percent of canines up for adoption at shelters are purebreds.
The worst places to get a pup are pet shops and kennels that get their pups from off-premises sources, since these animals actually come from commercial breeding operations, nicknamed puppy mills. Also avoid patronizing backyard and basement breeders. Why? Learn the facts....
Canine behavior specialists and writers, trainers, humane organizations, breed rescue groups, and breed and canine experts agree that people should NEVER buy a puppy from a pet shop, or from a kennel that has puppies trucked or shipped in. The puppies come from large scale commercial breeders, also known as puppy mills, where the animals are typically housed in less-than-humane conditions and the mother dogs live miserable lives in small cages.
Buying from a pet shop perpetuates this inhumane, exploitative treatment as well as the tragedy of pet overpopulation, since as long as there is any demand, puppy mills will keep dog breeding and overbreeding for profit.
Also caution prospective dog owners not to get a puppy or kitten from irresponsible individuals, often called backyard breeders, who typically breed just for profit and do not practice adequate standards of care.
Do not sell their pups to or through pet stores. Instead, they personally screen and select homes for their puppies, advise people on caring for the breed, turn away people whose lifestyle, commitment or home situation does not fit the breed, test for and guarantee the health and temperament of their puppies, have detailed documentation of their pups' lineage, demonstrate knowledge about canine health, genetics, socialization and development, and take back their animals at any time and age if the buyers cannot keep them.
