I meant backyard breeders who just have a couple dogs they breed over and over again for the bottom line of selling the puppies, like my poor Maggie was. I have actually known people who ran small breeding operations, would breed the females only a couple times then retire them. They breed for temperment, breed standards and genetically test. Their dogs are socialized, trained, loved, nutured. Poor Maggie was not in that type of operation. I have let go of most of my anger, mostly I just miss my little Maggie Bear these days.
