Hi, Sheila!
I understand everything you are saying, actually I understand what everyone is saying, but.....I do believe that education is the key to solving this problem. Children and adults need to be taught that all animals regardless of what they are, are NOT disposable. When a person chooses to take an animal into their life, it is a lieftime comittment. Only through education either in schools, homes, and by example, can this be taught and learned. My favorite expression is: "Values are caught, not taught". Everyone needs to realize that children are watching. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now!

History tells you that. And Marsha, there are way more unethical breeders out there than ever. For one of you there are dozen more bad ones. All you have to do is look at the shelters, the rescues etc..The horror stores are endless because people do not think. Just take a look back at what happened when the Taco Bell commercials came out and all the celebs started carrying dogs around with them. Same thing happened with 101 Dalmatians. The movie will cause it because of the way people are.

It is US the buyers and sellers of pups, that will cause the problems if we are not careful. We have discussed this a great deal on some of my breeders groups. Bottom line, this movie WILL boost puppy sales, no doubt about it, BUT, it is up to each of us, as ethical and responsible breeders, to make sure that the people we are selling our pups to are people who are actually wanting a pup and not people who have fallen for the latest trend. Of course, we can't quarantee anything, but we have to be much more diligent during this time period. And, we need to make sure our buyers know...and stick behind the promise...that no matter what the reason, EVER, the pups can always be returned. We wont BUY them back, but we will take them back because they are our responsibility for life. I always make sure my buyers know the pup can come back for any reason at any point in its life...that there is never any reason for any pup I have bred to end up in a shelter.
