I wish you'd watched the whole show. I think that she presented the options for getting a good dog fairly, as did the guy who ran the no kill shelter. He did mention ethical breeders and how to find one. Oprah also later mentioned that the good breeders she got her dogs from had interrogated her and asked all the right questions. All in all I think it was a good representation of, unfortunately, the way things are. -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sheila lieberman Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 3:52 PM To: the list Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] I stopped watching when Oprah said that the reason so many dogs and cats are put down was due to not spaying and neutering. I wrote a letter to the contrary. It is because of lack of training and ownes taking proper responsibility for the animals they have, and that puppy mills, for all their evil, can't keep up with the damand for more.
