I was over at my little neighborhood (in the desert, 10 miles away is a neighborhood) market yesterday. One of those free ad cards caught my eye. 6 Chihuahuas, different ages, one is proven breeder, $350 takes all, no splitting. I have next door (remember next door is a bit away) a family of "many", who have about 5-7 dogs around their property all the time. I know they came with 3. And I know some are intact as at times 'many' more dogs are around. Do I care how many dogs they have? When they go roaming the countryside in a pack, yep, I care. When I can't walk my dogs on a lead, outside of my front fenced area, because of those dogs, Yep...I care. Irresponsible-Responsible...those words are becoming very over-used. I'm working on "uneducated" and Breeders (with a capital B). Surely we can't call those who aren't educated in breeding principles BREEDERS.
