- More puppies and kittens
Oh, I love your sensible articles, Sherrie. This opinion of backyard breeders is not often popular and it's even less popular to advocate no breeding at all until there are no homeless pets. It can be a hot topic but you have managed to present an acceptable case for adopting from shelters. Rarely do puppies inherit characteristics or personality identical to parents. Even in dogs bred for guide work or police work, many do not pass the first evaluation.
