One of my son's friends introduced me to their kitten the other day. I talked with her (9yrs old) a bit about her kitty and then asked her if she had been spayed. She replied no, they have to have babies before being fixed or they won't be nice cats.
Okay so now it is time for my lab pup to be spayed and my Mom insists that she should have a litter of pups first. Granted my lab is registered and of great blood lines, but I am NOT a backyard breeder.
My thinking is that I don't want to have unwanted kitties that chances are would in turn not be fixed and have babies upon babies. I am not a lab owner to make money selling puppies. How do you feel about this mentality? It really ticks me off.
Breeders are Breeders, I am not and I have no desire to be. I would rather help the animals that need care than bring more into the world.
