Breeders should be much, much more heavily regulated.

Baba, I know you hate me but you are spot on and 100% correct in your post.
The dogs which have come to me for care (One does not OWN dogs, even though under the law they are considered to be property!) are rescues; all but one, which is the offspring of two of my "original" dogs and is my Dream Dog, if you will.
He is protection trained, huge, kind and loving but scares the shit out or people because he barks at them.
Little do they know, he is barking requests for tummy rubs and treats.
If most of the Goddamned breeders would just stop for about five to seven years, through natural attrition, the canine population would be reduced to a point at which it could be handled.
Breeding should not be halted on certain breeds though as they are rare and not part of the problem.
Placed a Chihuahua today for a gal who had to move to an aprtment and could not keep the dog. Went to an elderly couple who will spoil it silly. Dog will worry for nothing now for the rest of its life.
Happy little fucker with its new Mom and Dad.
