I didn't mean that the question of ethics doesn't matter.....I should have phrased it as "What does it matter to Summit what other people's idea of ethics are?
I don't see anything wrong with breeding pets b/c they are nice or pretty. As long as everyone is healthy, go for it....AND, that the puppies will have a good home to go to or stay in the home they were born into. I do think that there are too many dogs in shelters, but I also believe that a lot of these dogs are in shelters b/c people are too concerned with having the perfect dog by "breed standards" and these shelter dogs are not good enough for them.
What I don't believe in is all this breeding to get the perfect dog so that the owner can win a title and get recognition. This to me is all about greed. And this goes back to my last statement about shelter dogs not being good enough for some....
I'm logging off, won't be back on until tomorrow... I'm sure I'll have a lot to respond to.

A lot of those dogs are in shelters because every third person on your street (for example) decided it would be nice to let Molly have just one litter! Multiply that by the population of one city, one state...the whole country...you get the picture. At least I hope you do.
Showing and breeding well-bred dogs is NOT about GREED. Please speak only of that which you know something about. Apparently you know nothing about showing and proper breeding.
