I thought I'd start a new thread to pose a question about supply and demand on well-bred dogs. If everyone decided they wouldn't buy poorly-bred dogs and would only buy from responsible breeders, what do you think would happen? Would waiting lists get longer? Prices go up? Would more puppies be bred?
Also, if a responsible breeder has a waiting list that has no end in sight, is it ethical to have a few litters just to satisfy the demand?
