(7 posts)78. You make very good points.
You know what you are talking about. Unfortunately the unscrupulous breeders have overwhelmed the good breeders... a quick buck trumps all. I know some very good breeders with big hearts and sometimes I just want want of those pups - that I can shape. Then someone sends me an email that they are going through a divorce and they don't want their 10-year old Maltese that has Cushings... I know that 10-year old with Cushings can have fun at agility and it pains me to not step up. But the weight of it makes me so angry at the humans. You are so clearly a true dog lover, and the trainer side of me reads you loud and clear... but at the moment my rescuer side keeps winning the battle.

Your post made me cry. Imagine the terror they feel when they are abandoned or abused.
