Why animalists fight againsts breeders?

Because they attribute to us, incorrectly, the faults of the stray. And here I am talking about serious breeders and not sprayhood. The sprayhood produce pups in quantity without controls and selection, sell them, make us trade, sell them to anyone, as well as shops, without worry about it. Farmers instead choose puppy owners, are connoisseurs of that breed experts, do all controls on dogs playing, you care about where your puppy will go to dwell, and refuses even to sell your puppy to people he didn't inspire confidence. Task of the farmer in fact ’, is to make culture-loving people, also advise against a certain race to a given person because unsuitable.

The ’ herd would be a solution to stray in fact, If you are they sterilized dogs litters where mestizos while avoiding the puppies do not know where to give and where to place them. People would only breed dogs and after paying for well informed about which breed of dog is best suited to your lifestyle. The stray dogs are almost always dogs mestizos.

The animal I am of the opinion that dogs should not be sold, treat us as all tradespeople alike, without knowing who the real farmer does not earn and don't live for this, but there rounds only expenses of their dogs. Ignore the hard work of ’ farmer and his concerns whenever someone sells a puppy. We love and take care of dogs, We care about their future. If you would like the animal people think dogs breed extinction because there would be more an institution (ENCI) for the protection of dogs and dog training ’ dog breed. The advantage of a dog breed compared to a mestizo then, is that you already know the features since puppy, the size, If large or less, and crucially the character that will, being able to decide just which dog is best suited to your needs. This cannot happen with a mestizo who, Sometimes it is believed to remain small and rather grows as a pastor from Abruzzo or pulls out unwanted character features, with the consequence that then will be abandoned to the streets because they wanted that kind of dog!

Sites that sell pets online request 300 euro more to deliver with the pedigree: You can trust?

AND’ a beautiful and good scam! First of all a puppy of breed has right pedigree for nature and should not be sold without hands. Second thing a paper certification, in this case the pedigree, all ’ breeder cheap less 20 euro, and not 300 euro!!! You can check on the website of the’Enci under the heading “institutional rates” to realize that a pedigree costa 20 euro. What does certification cost, but the selection, the mounts, l power ’, Veterinary expenses of dogs, not a pedigree. Don't trust online shopping, beautiful sites with showcases of puppies of all breeds, all the beautiful words. Are falsehoods!!! Don't trust, are FALSE PEDIGREE!!! Don't trust also for another reason: NO breeder who respects the ethical codes (which prohibit), never sells his puppies to an intermediary, a store or website that sells them to others. The ’ farmer must respect the code of ethics of Enci ’ which requires raising their puppies and sell them directly to the owner, After having explained the characteristics of the breed that is going to take. A farmer cannot make trade in dogs! Therefore, when writing “Our puppies are only to serious breeders” is fake! Puppies of these stores come from illicit routes in Eastern countries or from ’ cucciolifici of sprayhood (type the Green Hill, or the ones that you see on Striscia la notizia).
