The trouble with eradicating responsible breeders is that only the irresponsible ones will be left. A pool of responsible breeders that produces a limited number of health tested puppies, and provides support and guidance for the purchasers of those puppies, so that those animals grow to be the best animals that they can be is absolutely essential to the long term success of companion dogs. It should be noted that the real responsible breeders also actively participate in rescue for their breeds
There are no responsible breeders. As long as shelter animals die (over 25 % are 'purebred') no one should be breeding animals for sale. Millions of animals are loosing their lives every year due to over breeding. Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die.
I can understand a passion for a breed - we have several PB's in our family - Goldens and Dobes, also a lot of fine mixes - but I do not think one should breed for money. I do respect a gentleman who occasionally breeds his Clumber Spaniels and has shown at Westminster among other places - but on many weekends he uses his fancy dog transport van to do volunteer transporting of dogs - all kinds - from kill shelters to rescues - which is what I also do.
@theophano Of course they wind up there due to useless incompetent people, no denying that, and many of them are perfectly stable dogs, but if someone wants a dog from health and temperament tested, titled, quality parents that can produce a puppy like that getting the best start in life then that's more than fine. Responsible breeders aren't the reason shelters are full - and certainly encouraging responsible breeders of quality purebreds is a good thing.
I showed pugs and found how horribly many show breeders treated their dogs. I quit. They were put in crates an left there.They just collect them in crates. And don't tell me that all show breeders are reputable. They don't breed the best, they breed for look. I believed all of that stuff about show dogs until I showed. Seven Champions in 3 years - I don't know why it took so long for me to get out given what I saw. I think I couldn't really believe it at first.
9. Karma? If responsible breeders get karma it's all the good stuff, nothing more. They are passionate about their breed, love their dogs and do it all to promote that breed and the further breeding of the best, healthiest dogs of that breed. That's admirable and to work hard in life to give everything to their dogs and breed - amazing. This video is ridiculous, completely untrue, and I'm still proud to own a dog from a reputable breeder and to know his breeder and what she does.
Duuuuuuh, Sarah- this is a satire!!! LOL! There are many who claim to be * reputable*, yet act in the manner of the video. They talk the talk, but have no clue about walking the walk....
@peekabooicu1 Hehe, yeah, I think I figured that after my rant - though it's good to explain anyway right? :) ... I hope. Some have this idea that if they breed purebreds they *must* be responsible - then all these damn new "designer" breeders think they're the responsible ones because they're breeding "healthy hybrids" - when they bring irresponsible breeding to a whole new level. Wish people knew and researched this before they went and bought the puppy...
@SarahFish08 there are lots of pure bred dogs in shelters if that is what you want - there are also breed rescues - please do not encourage breeding - millions of healthy dogs are killed in shelters every year
@theophano Yeah, about that. I'm all for breed rescue (and certainly my breed club does its part and gets out of shelters every one and gets them homes) but in reality, as great as shelters are, sometimes it's nice to have a puppy from the best possible start in life from quality, health and temperament tested parents. I encourage responsible breeding (breeders take back/rehome any dog that needs a new home). Blame pet shops and BYBs for the amount of shelter dogs.
7. Any cruelty/abuse that happens to dogs from breeders aren't with responsible/reputable breeders! If that's happening at shows then it gets stopped. There are bad people in everything in life, and a reputable breeder is one who loves their dogs, win or lose. 8. Responsible breeders don't breed older dogs, they may continue to show them (for fun, because yes the dogs do enjoy it, if they don't they aren't shown and are sold as pets) but not breed them.
6. Again, breeding responsibly doesn't pay the bills, those breeders have jobs which fund their dogs. Well-bred dogs cost that because they're worth it, and the money goes back into the dogs, not the breeder's pockets. 7. Breed clubs aren't bad! They support responsible breeding of quality dogs to keep the breed they love healthy and pure dog quality. 8. Responsible breeders and breed clubs are open about their dogs and welcome all questions, they want to promote that breed they love.
3. Showing for admiration?! Please, that's bull, they breed quality dogs and keep, show and breed the best of the best (from quality, health tested and cleared, good temperament, loved dogs). The rest are sold into forever homes but that money is not profit for the breeder - responsible breeders DON'T profit! 4. Responsible breeders have waiting lists. No potential buyers and they don't breed. 5. They breed for love and passion of a breed, not their own ego.
1. Responsible/reputable breeders DON'T sell puppies via FB and the like. They may advertise their puppies on the internet, but still require all the home checks, contracts (with spay/neuter and return agreements etc) and everything else. 2. They also don't have 2 litters per year, many will have 1 if that, and all those pups get forever homes and are returned if the new owner can't care for the dog anymore.
Wow. What are you smoking? Hitting dogs over the head with bottles? baseball bats? You sound like the rest of the animal-Nazi's. The current dog situation; as you see it from your point; will never be solved. You guys want everyone to buy shelter animals. Right. If you go to a shelter, you generally will see no recognizable breeds. We rescue and scoop those out (indiviual breeds) as soon as they land there. What are they left with? Most now have LARGE dogs as no one can feed them.
The breeder in this video truly believes she is a reputable breeder, thus to put quotations around the word repuutable would destroy the point of the video. Some breeders believe they are really reputable, even though it is more than obvious by their actions, that they are not. Reality is simply not a part of their world.
@sharswar "...only breed puppies when they need a new show dog themselves (once a year usually, if that)...". So, let's coun't shall we? If they are "show dog breeders" they will need 25 dogs for the 25 years they are in business. If each dog goes to a show home where they need at least 1 new dog per season, and that dog is bred, and so on...do you see where I am going with this? Stop breeding dogs!
there is no such thing as a reputable breeder anyway.animal breeding is corruption.animals are not property.no one has the right to manipulate animals for their own selfish reasons.it is animal slavery.stop breeding domestic animals and protect wild animals.
No reason at all to "Breed" dogs....There are many homeless pets out there that need homes. If you see what I see you'd also agree that it's ridiculous to Breed dogs for the "Greed" of your own pockets!!!!! Have a heart, will ya???
The idiot aint me- go look in the mirror. I just spewed coffee all over my puter screen-LMAO! You are correct-reputable breeders DONT sell puppies on craigslist and they do only breed once a year, IF that. However, people dont always view themselves realistically, do they.... Thats a really bad habit many humans possess. Go to the dictionary and look up the word "satire". Get educated and get real! Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!
@peekabooicu1 I'm sorry I misunderstood your point. However I am not the only one. Satire usually involves comedy, and usually some sort of balancing force that makes whatever they are poking fun at more obvious. In this video you have both sides making negative comments about breeders... I think that is why there are so many people who view this purely as an anti-breeder video.
What could be more obvious than this * reputable* breeder who churns out litter after litter and breeds 9 yr old bitches thinking its all ok because she belongs to a breed club and pays her breed club dues? My point was that belonging to a breed club, and paying breed club dues, does NOT a reputable breeder, make. Buyer, beware! Some very bad eggs hide behind a breed club facade. Belonging to a breed club does not automatically make one a reputable breeder! More stringent rules are needed!
@bnlgeekychic Coming from someone who just replied to this video with "No such thing of reputable breeder." It was a misunderstanding, it pays to read all responses before replying.
No one "needs" a new show dog.....there is no logical reason on earth anyone "needs" to show a dog. Its such an idiotic idea that people have come up with that its ok to breed dogs so long as they do well in the show ring. You know who NEED dogs? Hunters. People with cattle ranches. Blind people.
People who like to live vicariously through their dogs accomplishments do not "need" a new show dog
With 5 million animals losing their lives in shelters in the US annually, and 40 percent purebred, with breed rescues full beyond capacity and pure bred dogs dying in shelters every day, how anyone could argue for selling puppies for profit or hobby is just mind boggling. As a rescue, we are constantly sent ads for dogs on craigslist in the hopes we can save them. Its amazing how people can blindly justify what they do and ignore the big picture. Kudos to peekabooicu1!
To all the people who don't like this video---obviously this video is sarcastic, saying that this person is not a reputable breeder but some shmuck who things they are. Way to miss the point.
Well done. I have to admit I've had this conversation with people. Recently even. What people don't realize when they're told to go find a reputable breeder is that a breed club is simply a trade association with a vested interest in business as usual.
@Pikapi02 ...Ummmm no, we aren't , unless you call a daycare a trade association for children. Well, they all love their kids, they even talk about having MORE...can you believe it? In this overpopulated underfed world how could anyone have a child until the last hungry one in Africa is fed?????
Not to mention "reputable breeders" that advertise more than six breeds of litters online. A good breeder knows what's right and wrong. This shows exactly how the bad breeders act.
or guess if you want to insult breeders that actually some breeds have been 500 yrs in the making, we can all start buying dogs from pet stores that more then likely came from a "puppy mill" personally ill still stick with a breeder peekaboo probably cant afford a dog or got turned down from a breeder
@taichiangel so what do you think everyone should do bring their dogs in to get spayed and neutered so when all these pups become older dogs and pass on from old age we no longer have dogs no thanks i don't think the human race needs to kill out any other animals
It would be funny if so many people actually didn't think like this. Not too sure how this can have so many dislikes... maybe the truth hurts with some.
Hahaha, first, thanks for the true belly laugh. I LOVE the way the breeder keeps repeating herself. 'Ain't that the truth. I know that there really are reputable breeders out there...it's just extremely hard to find one with the morals and ethics that buyers should insist on. Most are truly in it for their own personal glory...and if they never get to *their own personal glory* then they have become accustomed to staying home and breeding to pay their bills. Truth is truth, you can't beat it.
Great video - so true! Craiglist is flooded with dogs from freakin' breeders. There is no such thing as a reputable breeder. Why would someone choose to force a female dog to have puppies and then sell them for $ - GREED!
It's funny how the "reputable breeders" amongst the comments are on the defense. It's a nobrainer that this is backyard breeder talk. If I had a dollar for each time I heard this crap at the shelter, I wouldn't have to rely on donations.
You people just can't understand its humor can you? There are good breeders & idiot breeders. Until a breeder and kennel are inspected and the medical proticol reviewed, the breeding stock reviewed, and the breeder interviewed, you really have no idea. My personal expierience with Shelter animals has been horible. Three different shelters, three diffent animals (2 cats, 1 Great Dane) all horible places. As far as I am concerned SHELTERS SUCK!! And every lib is angry now! Oh how could he?
Sigh. I have been exposed to unadulterated crap breeders as well as truly exemplary reputable breeders in my profession. The sad truth is, one bad experience with a crap breeder is going to color a person's perspective of ALL of them no matter how much better the good ones are compared to the bad. I guess that the left AR folks would like to see dog breeding go completely away. Posts like this lend fuel to their fire.
I hate breeders, especially people who breed pitbulls. There are so many great pitbulls in shelters that never make it out of there and stupid people just keep breeding them. Don't buy adopt PLEASE. There is nothing wrong with shelter dogs they are the best dogs out there.
OMG You R ALL so DUMB! This is making fun of the "reputable" breeder! HELLO! Everything the "reputable breeder" says is what people hear all the time from puppymills, backyard breeders, hobbie breeders and others that want to think they are reputable breeders!!!! These are all things that shelter workers here EVERYDAY!
This is full of untruth and missinformation. You cannot "OFA" a dog until they are two years old.
Who cares about yearly fee of a breed club?
I have never seen a section on Facebook for selling puppies... And really so what? The point is not where the buyers come from but how the breeder researches the buyer before selling them a puppy.
This video comes from someone who knows nothing about the responsible breeding, buying or owning a puppy or dog.
Wow, I guess any idiot who doesn't check facts certainly can post anything, even this fantasy. A 'reputable breeder' certainly is and doesn't need to keep saying so as their actions speak for them.
If you really know what you claim to know - you would realize that a puppy cannot get an OFA - only adult dogs 2 or older. Facebook does not allow selling of animals on their site. Anyone can claim to be a reputable breeder - just like anyone can claim to know anything about what that entails - or even have done any real research.
No it cannot- a pup can be prelimmed and it can get a *look see* by a vet xray. Furthermore, some breeds dont mature unti a later age, so I refer to them as pups, even though not literally a pup. Some breeds are gangly and akward until at least 2 yrs of age, thus my calling them pups, which is also an affectionate term.
Wow - if you knew what you claim you would also know that puppies cannot get an OFA. You might also know that anyone can claim to have a breed club - just like anyone can claim to have more knowledge then they do. I doubt you would know a reputable breedder if one fell on you.
what an idiot, doesn't sound like this person has ever met a "reputable breeder" What does belonging to the breed club and participating online have to do with being a reputable breeder? Nice to see what happens when somebody is both bitter AND ignorant!

This is a simple short sighted, misinformed joke. This person has obviously never talked with a reputable breeder, or dealt with anyone in the dog fancier (except maybe Cesar Milan). And as an FYI - FB does not allow selling animals on their network.
>And as an FYI - FB does not allow selling animals on their network.<
There is nothing I found under terms of service that prohibts the sale of live animals on facebook. If you know where it is, please post...... Thank you :)
@peekabooicu1 , right back at you. If you can prove that any reputable breeder sells on facebook, please send me the page link, I'd love to see. A portion of us police the rest. Did you know that.? AKC has field inspectors that regularly inspect the larger kennels; that's why the puppymills in Missouri and Penn.stopped using AKC and formed that wierd organization;so they could say their dogs were registered. AKC does not support any of the things you say; I think you have a lot of research to do
This person is a moron never seen such a bunch of misleading uninformed piece of garbage I am not a breeder , but of course pointing out how incredibly stupid you are makes me the bad guy
Unfortunately, Aussie, I am more informed than you would like to know or can imagine. :(I have more experience than you would like to know. Every word in that video was uttered to me by *reputable* breeders. Like it or not, thats the real world. I am not saying ALL breeders are bad, but the preponderance are, while hiding behind their breed club masks. Sad, but true.
I am sorry, Aussie- I have more experience than you would like to know or could even begin to imagine.I am not misled or misinformed. Rest assured that every word in that video was uttered to me by *reputable* breeders hiding behind their breed club mask. Not all breeders are bad, but sadly, many are. There are very few who are in it for the right reasons.
I cannot believe that anyone would believe this. I have slept beside a whelping box for 2 weeks to be certain all the pups are well, I have cried over an old dog who has gone to the bridge. I require a questionaire be filled out and that I meet a potential owner, a pup goes home with a detailed contract and I stay in contact with all of the owners of our pups. Go ahead slam me, make fun of me, you obviously know absolutely nothing about breeding or the love that goes into each litter of pups.
The general tenor of this clip is severely at odds with my experience. True reputable breeders would find this characterization offensive. Reputable breeders treat their dogs -- even their breeding stock -- as members of the family. Just because someone calls himself or herself a reputable breeder does not make it true. There are abuses in dog breeding, but all breeders should not be painted with this broad brush. We need to identify the bad ones and encourage the good ones.
You can't believe everything you hear. And just because he tells you he's a reputable breeder doesn't mean he is. This should shed some light on what is really the truth look up the response video to this.
Anyone who thinks that this is an accurate portrait of a reputable breeder is an idiot. Obviously you just listen to what other idiots have to say. You must never have met a real breeder and are probably talking about the loser down the street selling puppies on craigslist. Those people are out there, but that person is by no means a reputable breeder is not part of any real breed club.

This is obviously created by an ignorant person. A reputable breeder does all health clearances, maintains excellent care of their dogs, has WAITING lists for puppies, LOSES money breeding dogs because they love their breed and want to improve that breed. Reputable breeders have performance and show titles on their dogs and will have MANY puppy owners who will provide references to prospective new owners. Reputable breeders will have veterinary references to provide to prospective owners.
All dogs, whether purebred or mixed have owners. It is an Owner Retention problem, not a breeder problem. This video portrays a substandard breeder and I guarantee you this is not a realistic portrayal of responsible, ethical breeders of purebred dogs. Dogs are in shelters, are euthanasized because of an Owner Retention problem. The owners, for whatever reason, purebred or mixed, puppy or adult or elderly dog, iremove the dog from the home and its ends up whereit ends up.
no shit dick tracy. all you who thought this was a reputable breeder are stupid! this is sarcasm ..daaaaaaaaaaaaa
this is obviously written by a board or breed club member who is sick of the bad people in there club who get away with this.. this is not something most people would get.
I got the point immediately. The video kept saying over and over "I am a member of my breed club" and "I pay $65". Point being to those who aren't getting it...Just because someone pays dues and is a member of a club does NOT give them an "automatic badge of honor". In other words, STILL DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
this is nothing but BS. This is not a reputable breeder, this is a puppy mill. Show people do not keep breeding if they cannot show their pups. They will take their pups back if buyer cannot keep them. They do not post dogs on craigs list or any other place like that. They do not beat their dogs. They do not keep their dogs in filth. Show people take excelent care of their dogs. I breed, show and train dogs in obedience, rally and have therapy dogs. This is an insult to good breeders
Obviously done by a person who doesn't know anything about breeding and selling puppies and about dog clubs. OFA doesn't clear puppies - preliminary evaluations can be done but the dogs must be 2 years old to be cleared.
Of course its not a good breeder, its not a breeder at all. Just someone trying to help those AR organization such as PETA and HSUS take away our rights to have pets. It is up to you to choose where you get your pets be it through a breeder, breed club, rescue group, pound or newspaper or one of those new electronic pets. If you buy from a puppy mill then you are showing your support. BUT unfortunately there is this thing called supply and demand. Do your research and choose accordingly.

WTH? How about getting your facts straight before you load such slander! We REPUTABLE breeders DO care about where our puppies go. We even require references to prove such responsibility. Why don't you go to a REPUTABLE breeder's home and compare the life-style to a puppy mill? Why don't YOU go to a REPUTABLE breeder (If they will see you after this crap) and see that we don't normally have one or two litters a year. Stupid idiot is the title I give to you, now prove me wrong.
This is a BUNCH OF GARBAGE!!... There are always a few bad seeds in any subgroup, but I would have to saw most actual reputable breeders would NEVER think of listing their puppies on Craiglist or Facebook to advertise.
Pretty bizarre. I don't know any responsible and reputable breeder who have an attitude or beliefs like that. In fact, I know a few backyard breeders who wouldn't go as far as the character in this video did.
Obviously AR propaganda. In the short term they'd much rather you have a street dog from Mexico. In the long term no dog at all. total BS To you breeders out there, this is not the forum to debate how much more responsible you are than other breeders you compete against.
so stupid, made by some rescue hag or peta freak.. you breeders are on here argueing about whos reputable and whos not, if someone else doesnt do things the way YOU think they should they are not reputable etc.. the pot calling the kettle black.. breeders have always been their own worst enemy as all they do is go around stabbing each other in back over jealously.. i have a waiting list for my puppies and my PETS start at 850.00!! so as far as the market goes seems fine to me!!
Did this little cartoon cut to close to home? If I didn't see this all the time with so called reputable breeders,even some showing, then I might be angry. I am angry that this is closer to the truth.
Yes there are real reputable breeders and there are breed clubs who do have strong requirements on breeding, Berners for one.
But boy for every so called reputable breeder there are a 100 who only claim to be. They sound just like this cartoon but are not so willing to say it.
I am a member of my breed club and a breeder. All my dogs are ofa heart by cardiologist, ofa hips ofa elbows ofa patella AND posted as well as other things that are inherent in my breed. Those of you complaining about this video, can you say the same???I am not a member of peta or husu but a reputable breeder. Get out of the breed no, I started importing dogs from countries that require health to be tested and posted. one of my breed won westminster several years ago,never could pass health tes
This is so far from reality, it's hard to believe that any thinking individual would ever consider this drivel to be "the truth". This abomination appears to be the work of the "animal rights" morons, and deserves to be discarded on a trash heap at a landfill, along with the author!
also pretty obvious that the only TRUE word spoken here is FICTIONAL. This has to be another bleeding heart PETA whack job that cares nothing for animals. My FAVORITE PETA slogan is "BETTER OFF DEAD THEN BRED". You are entitled to your opinion but to say that this is truth about ALL breeders is misleading crap. Whoever you are- you are the jackass jerk- not the real breeders that work hard. I feel sorry for anyone that reads this bunch of garbage and believes it. Get a life you Peta psycho.
I find it immoral that thinking human beings would put out such lies, but the animal rights cult believes its alright to lie about anything to push their agenda of no more pets. These people truly hate animals and they hate the people who love animals. It is clear these zealots think hate speech is okay and that lying about others is okay. Our country is in danger from these people as are our pets as these people want them all dead and out of the way. The Nazi's use to do this sort of thing.
This is so far outrageous and libelous. This is sickening how the animal rights people can lie to the public and get away with it. In the first place Craig's list does not allow people to sell dogs on their list. Every reputable breeder I know has a waiting list for their well bred and socialized puppies. They are bred for health qualities not money as every breeder I know spends far more money on their dogs than they can every get back by the few puppies they sell. These are anti dog people.
Everything she states is exactly the opposite of a reputable breeder....The person who created this clearly has no idea of what makes a reputable breeder. She says its the truth... not even close!!!
This is closer to the truth than people know. It is appalling in my breed to see dogs bred over and over throwing bad hearts, hips,and or elbows, etc. Even dogs own by breeders promoted by my club.
My breed club was presented with a petition to change the ethics by their ethics committee. They refused and fired the ethics commettee. The committee's request was to require all breeding dogs to be health tested and posted on open database. SO all is great with SO CALLED reputable breeders.
@termitee100 You are obviously not a member of a breed club or a breeder as you have no clue how a club works or even what reputable breeders go through to ensure the health of the dogs they select to breed.
You are obviously an animal rights cult member who thinks its okay to lie about people and spew out hate speech.
Pretty obvious that the person who created this piece of animal rights propaganda has never spent sleepless nights with sick dog or watching over newborn puppies. Nor have they shed tears for the beloved senior citizen as they sent them to the bridge and the stillborn puppies that might have been; or had their heart ripped out when cancers take the life of a dog in their prime.
@1alfabch no, i imagine they spend more time shedding tears for the 60% of dogs in this country that will never find homes and will be euthanized in shelters simply because they do not have "papers". i imagine they spend more sleepless nights trying to find homes for thousands of dogs that owners thought were cute puppies and then dumped them 3 months later b/c they were "too much work". and their hearts are ripped out when senior dogs are dumped b/c people don't like end of life decisions.
---> never spent sleepless nights with sick dog or watching over newborn puppies. Nor have they shed tears for the beloved senior citizen as they sent them to the bridge and the stillborn puppies that might have been; or had their heart ripped out when cancers take the life of a dog in their prime. <----
If this comment wasnt so ignorant, it would be hilarious- it could be on David Letterman's top ten dumbest statements ever! Thanks for the laugh- I really needed it!!! If you only knew.
Are you kidding! It took me over a year to find a breeder who took all the precautions necessary to produce healthy pups. And then there was a very long waiting list.
This is the the most stupid things I have every heard This is not a good breeder and how do thay know what it cost to belong to a club.Hope noone believes this, a good breeder will have alot of older dogs that they keep and love and believe there is not money to be may you do it because you love your dogs
@pets0709 Totally agree. No reputable dog breeder is making a living off their dogs. Reputable breed clubs do not advocate any of this nonsense. This ridiculous farce is too far from the truth that it is absurd.
What a crock of BS - no real reputable breeder does this. So smacks of H$u$. This is slander to all reputable dog enthusiasts. Made me sick to my stomach!
This video couldn't be further from the truth. They don't even realize that people cannot sell dogs on Craigslist. It is so far out of the realm of reality I don't know where to start.
>They don't even realize that people cannot sell dogs on Craigslist<
Craiglist does not allow the sale of dogs or pups, either, but that doesnt stop them from being posted or those looking to *rehome* them from asking more than $150. The posts arent removed unless they are flagged. Do you really think Craigslist peruses every ad placed upon their site? They wouldnt have enough hours in the day!
Reputable is not the same as responsible. This clearly has an animal rights bent that is not based on facts. It takes a whole lot more than being a member of a club to make a good, responsible breeder. If that was the point of this, then it was right on. I don't think the person(s) behind this understand the issue at all. Or, as I suspect more, they do but want to put out these lies to support their own views.
This is not a reputable breeder. Reputable breeders breed to protect their chosen breed. They breed to the breed Standard, breed only those who best represent the breed, and stringently interview potential buyers. This video is propaganda, pure & simple. The Breed Clubs I belong to each has a Code of Ethics. I don't know the agenda of the person who created this, but, there is something hidden & evil there, in my opinion.
What a crock. Google "songbrook how to be a responsible breeder". LOOK at that page! That is what responsible breeding is about, and you are obviously NOT even attempting to tell even a grain of truth.
How about you post the truth about orginizations like PeTA and H$U$? How aobut you post how the H$U$ only uses one HALF of one percent of your donations to directly care for an animal? That means if you give $20, you bought one can of dog food! PeTA KILLED 97% of the animals they took in.
This is a real farce. Why is it that it's okay for animal control, animal shelters, Humane Societies, ASPCA's to advertise to find homes (and they are not free) but a breeder is something bad if they advertise? Never made any sense to me. Oh yeah, and it's okay to advertise dog food, pet stores and everything dog related, just don't advertise to sell a dog or a puppy.
@kaylor2008 it is ok for animal shelters to advertise dogs SO THEY DON'T DIE. people dump dogs that they thought were cute puppies purchased from breeders EVERY DAY.
Wow! Way to lump *true* reputable breeders in with scam artists & abusers! NONE of the REAL reputable breeders I know would condone ANY of the horrible things you attribute to them! Good breeders care deeply about their pups & want to make sure they go to the right homes, & they have rigorous application processes to help them achieve that. I've been around dog shows for years as well as doing rescue & I can tell you from personal experience that it's NOT the good breeders who are the problem!
This video is a crock of garbage and "animal rights" propaganda. NO BREEDER sells puppies on Craigslist or Facebook. You are not allowed to sell on Craigslist. If reputable breeders don't produce quality dogs there will be no pets except MUTTS with no health testing or socialization.
Most reputable breeders do not do any of the things this so called "cartoon"talks about..I have been in dog shows and breed litters years ago and now have rescue dogs. There is too much breeding but most of that is by backyard breeders and not serious breeders such as those that show dogs. We strive for healthy animals and finding good homes for our puppies and follow their life after placing them. This is an outrageous type of bad information.

If you were a "reputable breeder" and your breed club found out you were doing such things you wouldn't be a member for much longer, you'd be kicked out, reported and banned
@peekabooicu1 NO - Breed Clubs exist to be the guardians of their chosen breed. And breed club worth anything would NEVER condone this behavior by any of its members.
Never is a very long time, blkntandogs, and, sadly, you are quite naive:( I suppose the key words in your response would be "a breed club worth ANYTHING"
@peekabooicu1 Wait so let me get this straight - all these people are telling you your video is "bad" and you want to pick on me. I am not a breeder - as my dogs have not been bred *yet*. I might be idealistic, but not naive, and since you know *nothing* about me you really shouldn't make assumptions. I have been involved with dogs for many years and of all the breed clubs I know of NONE would allow this kind of behavior from their members. You might be the one who wants to reevaluate things...

While I know people who do this .... u CANNOT sell puppies on Craig's List...... they only allow a small fee, basically no more than $150. And no show person is going to sell even a pet quality for that price.
This is ridiculous....LOL Of course, i love the message behind it. Perhaps, this is what it takes, for those individuals out there, who actually practice this cruel shit.

The trouble with eradicating responsible breeders is that only the irresponsible ones will be left. A pool of responsible breeders that produces a limited number of health tested puppies, and provides support and guidance for the purchasers of those puppies, so that those animals grow to be the best animals that they can be is absolutely essential to the long term success of companion dogs. It should be noted that the real responsible breeders also actively participate in rescue for their breeds
4dogs4Jen 2 months ago
There are no responsible breeders. As long as shelter animals die (over 25 % are 'purebred') no one should be breeding animals for sale. Millions of animals are loosing their lives every year due to over breeding. Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die.

I can understand a passion for a breed - we have several PB's in our family - Goldens and Dobes, also a lot of fine mixes - but I do not think one should breed for money. I do respect a gentleman who occasionally breeds his Clumber Spaniels and has shown at Westminster among other places - but on many weekends he uses his fancy dog transport van to do volunteer transporting of dogs - all kinds - from kill shelters to rescues - which is what I also do.

@theophano Of course they wind up there due to useless incompetent people, no denying that, and many of them are perfectly stable dogs, but if someone wants a dog from health and temperament tested, titled, quality parents that can produce a puppy like that getting the best start in life then that's more than fine. Responsible breeders aren't the reason shelters are full - and certainly encouraging responsible breeders of quality purebreds is a good thing.

I showed pugs and found how horribly many show breeders treated their dogs. I quit. They were put in crates an left there.They just collect them in crates. And don't tell me that all show breeders are reputable. They don't breed the best, they breed for look. I believed all of that stuff about show dogs until I showed.

9. Karma? If responsible breeders get karma it's all the good stuff, nothing more. They are passionate about their breed, love their dogs and do it all to promote that breed and the further breeding of the best, healthiest dogs of that breed. That's admirable and to work hard in life to give everything to their dogs and breed - amazing. This video is ridiculous, completely untrue, and I'm still proud to own a dog from a reputable breeder and to know his breeder and what she does.

@theophano Yeah, about that. I'm all for breed rescue (and certainly my breed club does its part and gets out of shelters every one and gets them homes) but in reality, as great as shelters are, sometimes it's nice to have a puppy from the best possible start in life from quality, health and temperament tested parents. I encourage responsible breeding (breeders take back/rehome any dog that needs a new home). Blame pet shops and BYBs for the amount of shelter dogs.

7. Any cruelty/abuse that happens to dogs from breeders aren't with responsible/reputable breeders! If that's happening at shows then it gets stopped. There are bad people in everything in life, and a reputable breeder is one who loves their dogs, win or lose. 8. Responsible breeders don't breed older dogs, they may continue to show them (for fun, because yes the dogs do enjoy it, if they don't they aren't shown and are sold as pets) but not breed them.
SarahFish08 5 months ago
6. Again, breeding responsibly doesn't pay the bills, those breeders have jobs which fund their dogs. Well-bred dogs cost that because they're worth it, and the money goes back into the dogs, not the breeder's pockets. 7. Breed clubs aren't bad! They support responsible breeding of quality dogs to keep the breed they love healthy and pure dog quality. 8. Responsible breeders and breed clubs are open about their dogs and welcome all questions, they want to promote that breed they love.
SarahFish08 5 months ago
3. Showing for admiration?! Please, that's bull, they breed quality dogs and keep, show and breed the best of the best (from quality, health tested and cleared, good temperament, loved dogs). The rest are sold into forever homes but that money is not profit for the breeder - responsible breeders DON'T profit! 4. Responsible breeders have waiting lists. No potential buyers and they don't breed. 5. They breed for love and passion of a breed, not their own ego.
SarahFish08 5 months ago
1. Responsible/reputable breeders DON'T sell puppies via FB and the like. They may advertise their puppies on the internet, but still require all the home checks, contracts (with spay/neuter and return agreements etc) and everything else. 2. They also don't have 2 litters per year, many will have 1 if that, and all those pups get forever homes and are returned if the new owner can't care for the dog anymore.
SarahFish08 5 months ago
Wow. What are you smoking? Hitting dogs over the head with bottles? baseball bats? You sound like the rest of the animal-Nazi's. The current dog situation; as you see it from your point; will never be solved. You guys want everyone to buy shelter animals. Right. If you go to a shelter, you generally will see no recognizable breeds. We rescue and scoop those out (indiviual breeds) as soon as they land there. What are they left with? Most now have LARGE dogs as no one can feed them.

What could be more obvious than this * reputable* breeder who churns out litter after litter and breeds 9 yr old bitches thinking its all ok because she belongs to a breed club and pays her breed club dues? My point was that belonging to a breed club, and paying breed club dues, does NOT a reputable breeder, make. Buyer, beware! Some very bad eggs hide behind a breed club facade. Belonging to a breed club does not automatically make one a reputable breeder! More stringent rules are needed!

With 5 million animals losing their lives in shelters in the US annually, and 40 percent purebred, with breed rescues full beyond capacity and pure bred dogs dying in shelters every day, how anyone could argue for selling puppies for profit or hobby is just mind boggling. As a rescue, we are constantly sent ads for dogs on craigslist in the hopes we can save them. Its amazing how people can blindly justify what they do and ignore the big picture.

If you really know what you claim to know - you would realize that a puppy cannot get an OFA - only adult dogs 2 or older. Facebook does not allow selling of animals on their site.

>you would realize that a puppy cannot get an OFA
No it cannot- a pup can be prelimmed and it can get a *look see* by a vet xray. Furthermore, some breeds dont mature unti a later age, so I refer to them as pups, even though not literally a pup. Some breeds are gangly and akward until at least 2 yrs of age, thus my calling them pups, which is also an affectionate term.

The general tenor of this clip is severely at odds with my experience. True reputable breeders would find this characterization offensive. Reputable breeders treat their dogs -- even their breeding stock -- as members of the family. Just because someone calls himself or herself a reputable breeder does not make it true. There are abuses in dog breeding, but all breeders should not be painted with this broad brush. We need to identify the bad ones and encourage the good ones.

All dogs, whether purebred or mixed have owners. It is an Owner Retention problem, not a breeder problem.

Those of you complaining about this video, can you say the same???I am not a member of peta or husu but a reputable breeder. Get out of the breed no, I started importing dogs from countries that require health to be tested and posted. one of my breed won westminster several years ago,never could pass health tes

This is so far from reality, it's hard to believe that any thinking individual would ever consider this drivel to be "the truth". This abomination appears to be the work of the "animal rights" morons, and deserves to be discarded on a trash heap at a landfill, along with the author!

also pretty obvious that the only TRUE word spoken here is FICTIONAL. This has to be another bleeding heart PETA whack job that cares nothing for animals. My FAVORITE PETA slogan is "BETTER OFF DEAD THEN BRED". You are entitled to your opinion but to say that this is truth about ALL breeders is misleading crap. Whoever you are- you are the jackass jerk- not the real breeders that work hard. I feel sorry for anyone that reads this bunch of garbage and believes it. Get a life you Peta psycho.

I find it immoral that thinking human beings would put out such lies, but the animal rights cult believes its alright to lie about anything to push their agenda of no more pets. These people truly hate animals and they hate the people who love animals. It is clear these zealots think hate speech is okay and that lying about others is okay. Our country is in danger from these people as are our pets as these people want them all dead and out of the way. The Nazi's use to do this sort of thing.

This is so far outrageous and libelous. This is sickening how the animal rights people can lie to the public and get away with it. In the first place Craig's list does not allow people to sell dogs on their list. Every reputable breeder I know has a waiting list for their well bred and socialized puppies. They are bred for health qualities not money as every breeder I know spends far more money on their dogs than they can every get back by the few puppies they sell. These are anti dog people.

Everything she states is exactly the opposite of a reputable breeder....The person who created this clearly has no idea of what makes a reputable breeder. She says its the truth... not even close!!!

This is closer to the truth than people know. It is appalling in my breed to see dogs bred over and over throwing bad hearts, hips,and or elbows, etc. Even dogs own by breeders promoted by my club.
My breed club was presented with a petition to change the ethics by their ethics committee. They refused and fired the ethics commettee. The committee's request was to require all breeding dogs to be health tested and posted on open database. SO all is great with SO CALLED reputable breeders.

@termitee100 You are obviously not a member of a breed club or a breeder as you have no clue how a club works or even what reputable breeders go through to ensure the health of the dogs they select to breed.
You are obviously an animal rights cult member who thinks its okay to lie about people and spew out hate speech.

Pretty obvious that the person who created this piece of animal rights propaganda has never spent sleepless nights with sick dog or watching over newborn puppies. Nor have they shed tears for the beloved senior citizen as they sent them to the bridge and the stillborn puppies that might have been; or had their heart ripped out when cancers take the life of a dog in their prime.

@1alfabch no, i imagine they spend more time shedding tears for the 60% of dogs in this country that will never find homes and will be euthanized in shelters simply because they do not have "papers". i imagine they spend more sleepless nights trying to find homes for thousands of dogs that owners thought were cute puppies and then dumped them 3 months later b/c they were "too much work". and their hearts are ripped out when senior dogs are dumped b/c people don't like end of life decisions.

@pets0709 Totally agree. No reputable dog breeder is making a living off their dogs. Reputable breed clubs do not advocate any of this nonsense. This ridiculous farce is too far from the truth that it is absurd.

>They don't even realize that people cannot sell dogs on Craigslist<
Craiglist does not allow the sale of dogs or pups, either, but that doesnt stop them from being posted or those looking to *rehome* them from asking more than $150. The posts arent removed unless they are flagged. Do you really think Craigslist peruses every ad placed upon their site? They wouldnt have enough hours in the day!

Reputable is not the same as responsible. This clearly has an animal rights bent that is not based on facts. It takes a whole lot more than being a member of a club to make a good, responsible breeder. If that was the point of this, then it was right on. I don't think the person(s) behind this understand the issue at all. Or, as I suspect more, they do but want to put out these lies to support their own views.

This is not a reputable breeder. Reputable breeders breed to protect their chosen breed. They breed to the breed Standard, breed only those who best represent the breed, and stringently interview potential buyers. This video is propaganda, pure & simple. The Breed Clubs I belong to each has a Code of Ethics. I don't know the agenda of the person who created this, but, there is something hidden & evil there, in my opinion.

What a crock. Google "songbrook how to be a responsible breeder". LOOK at that page! That is what responsible breeding is about, and you are obviously NOT even attempting to tell even a grain of truth.
How about you post the truth about orginizations like PeTA and H$U$? How aobut you post how the H$U$ only uses one HALF of one percent of your donations to directly care for an animal? That means if you give $20, you bought one can of dog food! PeTA KILLED 97% of the animals they took in.
songbrook1 1 year ago
This is a real farce. Why is it that it's okay for animal control, animal shelters, Humane Societies, ASPCA's to advertise to find homes (and they are not free) but a breeder is something bad if they advertise? Never made any sense to me. Oh yeah, and it's okay to advertise dog food, pet stores and everything dog related, just don't advertise to sell a dog or a puppy.

Wow! Way to lump *true* reputable breeders in with scam artists & abusers! NONE of the REAL reputable breeders I know would condone ANY of the horrible things you attribute to them! Good breeders care deeply about their pups & want to make sure they go to the right homes, & they have rigorous application processes to help them achieve that. I've been around dog shows for years as well as doing rescue & I can tell you from personal experience that it's NOT the good breeders who are the problem!

This video is a crock of garbage and "animal rights" propaganda. NO BREEDER sells puppies on Craigslist or Facebook. You are not allowed to sell on Craigslist. If reputable breeders don't produce quality dogs there will be no pets except MUTTS with no health testing or socialization.

Most reputable breeders do not do any of the things this so called "cartoon"talks about..I have been in dog shows and breed litters years ago and now have rescue dogs. There is too much breeding but most of that is by backyard breeders and not serious breeders such as those that show dogs. We strive for healthy animals and finding good homes for our puppies and follow their life after placing them. This is an outrageous type of bad information.

If you were a "reputable breeder" and your breed club found out you were doing such things you wouldn't be a member for much longer, you'd be kicked out, reported and banned

I might be idealistic, but not naive, and since you know *nothing* about me you really shouldn't make assumptions.
