Sharing this❤️❤️❤️Too well written not to post…
The purchase of a well bred purebred did not sentence another dog to death.
The purchase of a well bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs in shelter.
Someone wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted.
Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto.
I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either.
It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe I needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death.
A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs.
The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them.
Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem.
Your friend who impulse bought a dog at Pet Land IS contributing to the problem.
That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem.
Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter “so she can experience motherhood” or because “she’s just so sweet” IS contributing to the problem.
Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem.
A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it.
It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced.
If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes.
In conclusion, Blaming responsible breeders for shelter dogs is like blaming Harvard graduates for crack babies.

If you are considering adding a German Shepherd to your home, there are a few facts about the breed you should know.
They are very serious about their dogs, the care they receive, and the new owners that these dogs will go to. With that said, they are extremely genuine, caring people. This makes for a great combination. And I don't have enough words to describe the beautiful dogs! Fantastic structure, colors, and personalities.
Laverne breeds top quality dogs. The great things about this kennel are you get to see the parents of each pup, the documentation of all inoculations and lineage, and the care and love that each puppy receives before they leave for their new home. I would recommend Von Shap to anyone that wants a top quality Shepherd and doesn't want to be taken to the cleaners.
Initially I just wanted another GSD. Upon learning and discovering all that the breed had to offer. which I learned from Von Shap German Shepherds, I could never live without one from this breeder. The love, testing, care, pairing the mates just right. The quality of GS breed from Von Shap German Shepherds is beyond ordinary. In my opinion, their technique of breeding can never have comparisons.
Extremely professional, loving and caring goes into every aspect of breeding. We are blessed to have one of Von Shap pups. A healthy balanced puppy to be our fur kid. We see the quality of our GSD pup. My wife and I would highly recommended Laverne ( Von Shap German Shepherds ) if you’re considering a new family member.
We have one of their puppies and he is just the sweetest, smartest dog. His training has been incredibly easy and he was pretty much already potty trained when he came home. He is super chill and just awesome all around. Not to mention gorgeous. We can hardly wait to add another to our family.
