Perhaps because they get awful darn tired of having to kill his unwanted progeny?
Spay or neuter your dogs! there are lots and lots of breeders out there. Too many. Not everyone needs to be one. The number of healthy but unwanted pets we put down in this country every day is a travesty.
And the next time you consider how cute it would be to have a litter of pups, go down and just spend a day at the pound. Count the ones with the red tags indicating their time is up. If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will. The homes you find for your pups could have easily taken home one of those poor souls.
Spaying and neutering of our pets is a responsible action, which actually does not even cost that much...and there are many animal clinics which have reduced fare, and free fare for those who are low income, yet would still love to have a pet...there is no excuse for the number of unwanted animals who must be euthanized each year...
As you said, there are many, many responsible breeders out there, who allow their animals to have litters, in order to preserve the character of the breed.....and that is good...but for those people who allow their mixed breed animals to have litters, and have no concern for the future of those animals, they should really be ashamed...
Hate to rant, but the sheer numbers and magnitude of the problem makes me angry....
Well said!!
Why can’t I get my dog a vasectomy? That seems a lot more ethical than mutilating his genitals.
