    I don't think money is the underlying factor in most good breeder's minds.

     I agree with this statement wholeheartedly. The problem as I see it is that there are too many that breed dogs that are nothing more than puppy peddlers. They are not good breeders. I believe there are more of them than there are good breeders. I don't have the statistic, but it is pretty evident when we look and the dogs that end up in shelters. It is evident when we consider all of the puppy mills that we have in the USA. These people do not care about dogs or a breed. Money is the key motivation.

     

    There are a number of them they begin with good intentions. But they do this through ignorance. Hopefully they get around some good people and learn from them and stop repeating mistakes that were made in the past. There is a lot of information available to us today that can help everyone make better decisions. We should rely on this is how my great grand father did it so I'm going to do it this way too. Great grandfather was a good man. He might have only had a 7th grade educations. Nothing against great grandfather. He was known as a good dog man in his generation. It's not his fault he didn't have a formal education. Today there is more available to us. We don't have the same reasons/ Today we just make excuses.
