Great article, as usual, Sherrie! I have 2 dogs that were born and abandoned because of backyard breeding, no doubt. They found a home with me, but so many puppies don't, as we know. Although they are great dogs, I had them altered as soon as possible. This problem is immense, of course, and hopefully, your article will get people to think more. Thank you, Sherrie. Hope you are doing great! Renie

I think a lot of good people become backyard breeders because they don't fully realize all the implications of what they're doing. As with so many animal-related issues, education is the key. Thanks for stopping by, Joy!

I'm doing great, Renie, thanks! I think spay/neuter is becoming much more common, but there are still whole segments of the population who either don't care or just don't know any better. The more we can get the word out, the better.

» Vishna79 - Breeding Dogs

I had kind of a stupid question. I have a purebred boxer who i purchased from a breeder in canada. My question is, if this dog is to get pregnant by say a german shepard or any other dog besides another boxer for that matter, will it in fact make her unable to have purebred dogs with another boxer in the future? Someone told me once she becomes pregnant with another kind of dog, that even if we breed her with a pure boxer after that, she will still have puppies that resemble the first mate, is this true? please help
