[quote1299906612=davidfitness83] A lot of people associate cropping ears with fighting. Breeders need to screen their buyers and breeders need to make a distinction so backyard breeders cannnot compete with them. I know an APBT breeder that won't give you the dog's papers until you show proof that the dog attended two obedience classes and that the dog is fixed. Backyard breeders can't compete with real kennels that health test and actually produce quality stable dogs. The more breeders that do this the more buyers they will attract and this will force buyers to become educated and backyard breeders to quit or to make a change for the better. [/quote1299906612] thats good what that guy is doing but i would have to disagree in it attracting more buyers, as most ppl are not willing to do all that just to get a dog or its papers, i think most ppl would just say whatever and on to the next guy that doesnt give a damn and will sell his dog to anyone. I supppose if someone really wanted the guys dogs you are talking about they would be willing to do that, but the general public wouldnt. most ppl dont even keep thier dogs. you see it all the time, moving must rehome dog, its like why dont you move somewhere that allows dogs?
