 A backyard breeder is a person who casually breeds dogs with little or no regard to the breed standard, genetically linked defects and temperament

There is no true definition to a byb. 

Why do you feel the need to act like behavior like this is unimportant?

I'm sorry I don't understand your question.

You keep justifying why this woman should make up her own mind.  How anyone can look at this situation and just shrug it off as "do whatever you want lady, don't you let no people assign no labels to ya" makes my head hurt.

No doubt, remember that not everything is opinion. How about some facts?

-North American animal shelters and overflowing with unwanted pets and great animals are being euthanized every day due to not enough homes. If a few more people would decide to spay/neuter instead of breeding we could eliminate the problem.
-Dogs do suffer from genetic disease, the only way to eradicate it is to make sure the genes causing the disease aren't there in the first place. The only way to make sure of this is by fully testing all possibilities.
-Breeding is in no way "easy". It takes time, money, and experience to raise healthy and well adjusted puppies.
-If people want a purebred dog, it really isn't that hard to find a breeder who shows, health tests, and breeds selectively. It only takes some time and effort on your part.

Its kinda hard to explain...... well,  If somebody starts critisizing her it's human nature to want to defend yourself, and not really pay attention to what they are telling her, or make her more apt to breed her dog.  So I'm trying to get her to look at things honestly without getting on the defense. to look at those facts and to look at the actual reason she is choosing to breed. .... I think I wrote that so it made scence??

If you want two more puppies that are "purebred" Why not just buy one from a breeder or rescue one they do have puppies and purebreds. Plus it would be better then just breeding, and if you get one you don't have to go through the whole process of breeding with the dogs in heat and worring about there health.

I herd a song tonight on the radio, another girl sings about a boy. She sees his face in every space
every room, and I know that if I turn around you won't be there. If I close my eyes, will you be there?
I don't wanna lose your face, and I don't wanna wake up one day and not remember what
time erased. I don't wanna turn around cause im not scared of what love gave me and took away
and I don't wanna lose your face. I've got a photo of you in my bedroom and I hope it never falls. I
hope I never lose that feelin' I use to get when you called. I don't wanna lose your face.

my 2 cents,

people thinking its*COOL* to what they call *BREED* purebreds are not very well educated when it comes to what it means to Breed.
You breed to better the Breed.
It is an expensive and timeconsuming vendetta.

Real breeders do this for years and years, there dogs have show and or field trial championships.
There males and females have champion bloodlines.
It takes years to perfect a breed, to breed for temperament, character.

Why do I even bother, * bob & betty* are gonna do what they gonna do, and the dogs are the ones that suffer and pay the price for ignorant and uneducated people.

OP, from your lack of response, it seems you don't really have an interest in the truths voiced here. Someone earlier made a good point though, if you are such the advocate you claim to be, why is this even an issue. Why was your female not fixed years ago. Here's another sign of a good breeder - a neuter clause in a real CONTRACT.

But, thats beside the point, I'm aware you purchased her from a mill. Are you aware of the inbreeding and propogation of poor genetic traits that come from mills and bybs? She's 94 pounds, not breed standard. Sure she's got a wonderful temperment and her health is good. Thats great, you're lucky. But the possibility of her carrying those poor genetic issues through to another litter is very large.

If you are truly convinced she needs to be a mother, sure. Fine. But why don't you realize something YOU said in your second post about surrogate parenting. Your dog Twinkie played surrogate for another dog. There are numerous puppies at the humane society that need love. If you're feeling breed specific, call a specific rescue society. Try Golden Retreiver Rescue of Mid-Florida. Lots of Golden Retreivers that need homes..

A good idea before you ADD to their numbers.
