Without “those who breed,” there would be no dogs, anywhere. <br /><br />So after we have spayed or neutered every dog born, where do you expect future dogs to come from? Maybe you don’t grasp basic biology, or maybe you’re part of the HSUS/PETA extremists who believe we should not HAVE dogs in our lives. Or maybe you think the hundreds of thousands of poorly bred, unhealthy dogs being imported yearly from China, Romania, Taiwan and other third world countries will fill this country’s demand for pets. <br /><br />Yeah, that makes sense. Instead of healthy, well-bred, socialized pups from American breeders, we’ll all have sickly, indiscriminately bred strays from countries with no health standards in place for pets.<br /><br />Maybe rescues don’t care where the dogs come from, as long as they can keep selling them to the public as “adoptions.” I have yet to see a shelter or a rescue go to any lengths to make sure owners get the dog that’s right for them. It’s all about numbers. I’ve attended many rescue events and watched people being pushed to adopt a dog, any dog, if the one you wanted is gone, we have plenty of others. Just GET one. And the next day they’re bragging about how many they "adopted out" (sold). Does anyone ever ask how many of them end up being brought back? <br /><br />On the other hand, any responsible breeder will have a long list of questions to ask before they will let you have one of their carefully bred and loved puppies, after which, they’ll stay in touch in case you need help. And if all else fails and the home doesn’t work out, they’ll take the dog back, no questions asked. <br /><br />Responsible breeders provide about 5% of the total dogs out there. Personally, I think if you can get a pup from one of them, you’re very lucky. It’s not easy to do, especially when all the rescue places are screaming about “evil breeders” and doing their best to shut them down.<br /><br />And if they're successful at doing so, if not for the imports, all those rescues would then be out of business. Might have to take those blinders off and take a look at the real world.galwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140395859499941685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625903440960556706.post-87034863038251895822011-09-04T10:44:01.236-07:002011-09-04T10:44:01.236-07:00With all the anti-breeder rhetoric on this blog I ...With all the anti-breeder rhetoric on this blog I am thankful the state of Connecticut will enact this law to protect the honorable pursuit of dog breeding. Supporting forced sterilization when your state has to import animals? LAUGHABLE. Supporting banning of bark-softening surgeries? Such ban will increase the noise complaints and the numbers of dogs who end up in shelters. Hey, that's always good news for the "rescue" groups, though, isn't it? More product to sell.<br />What's the motivation for the opposition to this law? The real answer is MONEY. Sales of rescues is no different than sales of dogs by private parties. ADOPTION=Money changes hands=SALE.<br />And allowing crackpot, hypocritical groups like HSUS and PETA to educate our children is dangerous. PETA kills over 90% of the animals they take into their Virginia headquarters "shelter". HSUS urges shelters to KILL instead of re-home animals. These sicko groups don't deserve anyone to listen to them, much less impressionable children and they sure don't need to suck more money in donations or payments from our state-supported schools to further their sick Animal Wrongist agenda.Liberty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177305529757660312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625903440960556706.post-73486857415833841122011-08-09T18:47:43.418-07:002011-08-09T18:47:43.418-07:00I have seen dogs sold by "responsible" b...I have seen dogs sold by "responsible" breeders with intestinal parasites. I have seen dogs come out of shelters with kennel cough and parvo. They are a product of their environment. This bill will not stop communicable diseases and everyone would be naive to think so. A responsible rescue will treat the illness if it is within their means and give the dog/cat a chance. The shelters will euthanize. This bill will not stop a stray dog with parvo from coming into contact with your dog. The rescues I have had are isolated until they get to a vet. Do not tell me that the dog I bring into your state is spreading disease when they don't come into contact with any other animals until they are vet checked. Be careful what you wish for because you might get it. When you need a rescue they will not be there.Westiemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649683090688912472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625903440960556706.post-56460084951977900362011-07-08T21:23:51.308-07:002011-07-08T21:23:51.308-07:00I appreciate the frustration regarding this bill, ...I appreciate the frustration regarding this bill, however I disagree with a few statements in the article. I am the proud "owner" of several adopted dogs, one of whom was adopted from a southern rescue. I am also employed in the veterinary industry and have seen numerous pets adopted from southern rescues that have presented with various ailments such as intestinal parasites, kennel cough, pneumonia, parvovirus and heartworm. These dogs became clinical immediately after transport. Most of the new owners that I have encountered chose not to report their pet's illness and concentrated their efforts on treating their pets, often at substantial cost. Perhaps only 4 sick animals were reported, but that does not mean that only 4 animals were ill.<br /><br />I also disagree with the statement that breeders are responsible for the high numbers of homeless pets. Just as their are responsible rescues, there are also responsible breeders who carefully screen their buyers, require spaying or neutering in their adoption contracts and require that animals be returned to them in the event that the new owner becomes unable to care for them. Many of these breeders are involved in breed rescue as well. <br /><br />You mention several times the term "responsible rescue". Not all rescues are created equal. A responsible rescue is a wonderful thing, but some rescue groups do misrepresent new owners and ship dogs that are too ill for transport. <br /><br />Shipping dogs from areas with a high concentration of homeless pets to an area of low concentration is a short term solution to a long term problem. Until individual states with high numbers of homeless pets take measures to stem the numbers of puppies and kittens being born daily, the situation will never improve. <br /><br />While I do not completely agree with this bill I am glad that it has shed light on a very real problem. Perhaps the bill can be retooled to insure the safety of the animals and the integrity of responsible rescue organizations.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579845978071829875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625903440960556706.post-17243616642792585492011-07-08T20:16:00.405-07:002011-07-08T20:16:00.405-07:00You are dead on, and I couldn't have said it b...You are dead on, and I couldn't have said it better myself.BrendaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213395836230482084noreply@blogger.com
