I hate to see a dog tethered. I hate going to the shelters and seeing all the dogs that are unwanted or abused. I am all for spaying or neutering unless for legit breeding. I hate seeing how many people take care of (or don't) their pets.

But I am more in favor of our rights not being stepped on or taken away. I have three precious little dogs that are members of our family and there had better not ever be a law that outlaws me having them!!!

How do you define legitimate breeding? What is a purebred dog?

My Border Collie is purebred & registered with ABCA - NOT the AKC. There are registries that will register any dog for cash. How do YOU decide what a purebred dog is?

I had a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix as my first dog. I had half a dozen people ask if they could get a puppy from him, because he was such a wonderful dog. I never bred him, but who are you to tell me that it would be wrong?
