If you are going to just randomly breed, why not look into rescuing a shelter dog?  At least you could do one dog some good.

I think Toby needs to read more forum posts before asking such questions!! :(

Wow, it just keeps going on and on and on...

 This has to be fake..No one in their right mind would throw themselves into the forums with all of us against breeding. That would be really stupid..

Tobystartodd, MDS is a place where most people want to be friends and are against breeding. I think you may have to read the Terms of Use again. Because of that type a question, I think you are in violation.

Well I'm very sorry if I offended anyone I'm so sorry I didn't realize I hope you accept my apology.

We _should_ be more about education here, and I'm as guilty or more so than anybody else, but we (I) need to remember that not everybody knows about the horrific situation regarding puppy mills, backyard breeders, etc.

Hopefully Tobystartodd will learn what we are trying to teach and join the chorus speaking up for our dogs.  There are lot's of places here (and elsewhere) to learn about the issues.  One of my blogs 

http://www.mydogspace.com/me/jehingr/blog/2008-08-15How-Many-Dogs-Did-You-Kill-Today-

deals with some of the issues.

Still glad that you are here Tobystartodd.

Thank you and I didn't realize that you were trying to teach something I'm so sorry but I don't believe in puppy mills either so I'm completely behind you 100% I didn't mean it that way I'm so sorry again . But I am 100% behind your idea but see I was just asking because my female schnauzer dies and I don't overbreed or anything I breed miniature schnauzers only for nursing homes the people a t the nursing homes in my state absolutely love and adore each dog and I give them for free so I'm not trying to disrespect the animal just give companions to people who need them but I only have 3 dogs now the dogs on my page so I hope you didn't take it the wrong way I'm just trying to help my community.

Why not involve yourself in schnauzer rescue and train them to go to nursing homes?  Just a thought - you could still be involved in your breed but in a little more positive way.

 That's a great idea 7 dogs!

I'm glad your here toby start todd. This place is great for friends and education.

Anybody who raises dogs to fight is sooo totally wrong. Some people say that some dogs are mean. I think it is in all how they are being raised.

I think thats completely true the personality of the animal depends 100% on the owner and its surroundings. Out of fighting dogs im gonna ask your opinon do you think thats its truely neccasry and it cant be fun to watch dogs get torchered its just extremely dum 

Of course its dumb, who can get pleasure out of 2 dogs fighting. SICKENING!!!!
