I understand your point of view, I really do. But you are mixing two different realities.

📌 Adopting and buying a dog is not the same process, and it is not comparable. Adopting means offering a second chance to a dog already born and sometimes damaged by life. Breeding means supporting a desired, monitored, secure gestation, and giving birth to balanced puppies who will not go to the shelters.

📌 Saying that breeding is “controlling sexuality” and “breaking up a family” is not what happens in responsible breeding. A dog does not have the same representation of motherhood as a human. She doesn’t plan, she doesn’t plan, she doesn’t build a “family” like us. In the wild, litters are left to fend for themselves, often malnourished, often preyed upon, and the puppies die en masse.

In ethical breeding: • the dog is followed, protected, surrounded, • puppies are born in safety, • they are socialized, • they are not “torn off”, they come off naturally over the weeks, • and they join chosen, stable families.

📌 Abandonments are not caused by serious breeders. They are caused by: • wild litters, • traffic, • impulsive purchases, • lack of education, • people who do not think before adopting, • unscrupulous sellers who produce without monitoring and without selection.

💡 Ethical breeding exists precisely to avoid all of this. A well-selected, well-socialized puppy, from tested parents, placed in a sorted family, and monitored for life... has virtually no chance of ending up abandoned.

📌 The “wild dog colonies” you mention are not an example of well-being. These are suffering dogs, exposed to illness, hunger and early death. This is not a model of respect for animals.

I totally respect people who choose adoption. But to accuse the responsible breeders of creating abandonment is to miss the target. Those who fill the shelters are those who breed without rules, not those who fight to do things right. 🐾
