SOME rescue people really feel strongly about "no breeding". I'm on the fence. Some should be/could be bred, some not. What happened if everyone stopped breeding? I know that would never happen - but....
I DO spay/neuter ALL rescues that come thru my program prior to adopting them. I do not believe in breeding mixes, do not believe in breeding "designer dogs" (go to the pound, they are ALL designer dogs. I cant believe people are paying BIG $$s to buy these dogs...Grrrr), I do not even believe in breeding 2 purebred dogs together all the time. Most dogs, purebred or not, should not be bred!!! I feel if somebody is going to breed, they must research, find the "right" two dogs that will better the breed, and help get rid of faults and health problems, right personality etc. Most, but NOT all, show people - do it this way. I'm not saying only show people should breed. And not saying just because a dog is being shown and/or Championed, it should be bred. That's another hot topic all in it's own!!!! There are many people who do not show, that take great care in locating the best, healthiest lines they can and breed them.....to better the breed!!! That is who I want to buy MY dogs from! Anyway, I'm sorry Marsha for the way you were treated. You do not need a yahoo group to make a difference in the dog rescue world! If you want to talk, let me know. I've been doing rescue for MANY years. I personally have been turned down to adopt a rescue dog because I have an intact male that is CH and I occasionally get the bug to show him again. Even though the rescue I was inquiring on, was spayed. But that's ok. Each rescue has their own set of rules and I respect them. When I'm adopting out, I do look at that too. If their dogs are not spayed/neutered.....I will inquire as to why, but might not adopt to them depending on the answer. Just because a person shows and/or breeds, doesnt mean they wont a make perfect home for a rescue dog too. I also have my "human breeding" issues too. If we could get humans to breed ONLY if they were going to better the human race. Find the right bloodlines to breed etc - then maybe our world would be a better place to live! :-P Sandi Spears ------------------- Rolie Polie Olie http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=4085603 Mastiff Hope Rescue www.MastiffHope.org Bulldog Rescue Railroad Double S Ranch & Rescue marsha Taylor wrote: > > Sighhhhh, as if I don't have enough to deal with right now, I have > been kicked off of my yahoo animal rescue group.
