but it seems many of you are confusing your personal perspective of the word
collector with a real, diagnosable syndrome.
But there is that gray area. I can comfortably handle 6-8 dogs as they all
work in different venues. I currently have 12. So, I'm on a breeding hiatus
until the "extra" dogs are placed in forever homes. However, I know people who
are overloaded with dogs but go ahead and breed their bitches anyway. The
dogs start adding up and now the person is overwhelmed. If the dogs are all
well taken care of at the expense of the breeder's normal life, is that a
collector? A hoarder? Or someone who just let things get out of control? I see
this
in many breeds, not just our own. This may happen to everyone at some point
but a true collector or hoarder won't let go of those extra dogs. That is the
difference between a real problem and someone who got overwhelmed.
As to the original story about the approval for the 600 dog kennel in
Indiana. That is a puppy mill and a totally different issue. JMHO
