you do not trust dedicated breeders. Why?
I loved my dogs very much indeed. I tried to improve them. If you mean breeders who simply do it for money then they are just moneymakers and not dog lovers.
I have worked with animals all my adult life-- I fell in love with my two breeds so once I was able to do so I wanted to have a few and breed them and show them.
It was a hobby and certainly not money making-- quite the reverse I assure you.
If there were not didicated breeders who loved their particular breeds and tried to improve them and make many people happy. where would the breeds disappear to?
Puppy farmers are the type who breed for money. Not many small breeders such as myself make anything at all--there are many heartbreaks in breeding.
I never had a family so for me my dogs made up for that lack and I do not regret a minute of my life with animals. I learned that too many human beings could not be trusted--.
If customers want a quality dog of a particular breed they need to go to small breeders who dedicate their lives to their particular breed.
There would not be specific breeds available if not for these type of breeders.
That is why I had waiting lists for my pups-- because I had a good reputation and customers were willing to wait for a pup from me.
I now have a little affenpinscher-- and they are rare so I was prepared to wait for this little dog who has enhanced our lives.If not for specialist breeders I would never have been able to get our our little dog. If the public are more careful where they purchase animals from, maybe there would not be so much neglect or animals have all sorts of things wrong with them.
My little dog would not suit a cafe-- because he is very loyal to us- yes he is friendly to others and people but he loves us and would not follow other people/ Our cairn terriers loved everybody especially children--.
anyway-- I have had my say-- I wish that only animals were bred who would end up in good loving homes.
I did not say that the Japanese were still cruel to their pets- but that they had a reputation for that several years ago.
The japanese akita is extremely popular here-- but the owners need to understand the nature of such a breed before taking them on. Half the problem is when people take on a breed that is unsuited to their owners lifestyle. People need to think more carefully before committing themselves to taking on any animal.
this is an interesting titbit about the famous deafblind lady-- Helen Keller and an Akita breeder.
Hellen Keller and Akitas there is also mention about the japanese chikuken company.

I meant to add that here in UK dogs are not allowed in restaurants unless they are guide dogs
just been looking at a pet store and I hated it. Apart from unnatural conditions for those animals-- it leads to impulse buying which is not good at all.
