    I feel like you missed the point of the person you’re replying to or maybe replied to the wrong one?

    Puppy mills that are for profit and abuse animals are not even close to the market you’re talking about. Seeing eye dogs make great sense for breeding purposes since a person’s life can literally depend on it. Actually both of your examples are when a dog isnt a pet first, their primary role is a job. Those aren’t puppy mill type dogs. Seeing eye dogs are probably not going to be from irresponsible backyard breeders. Work dogs are probably from word of mouth in communities that need them.

      The world of dog breeding is terrible and needs to end. Not the world of dogs just like…casually making puppies. That’s fine.

      That doesn’t say “only puppy mills need to end”, but that all dog breeding needs to end because puppy mills are shitty, and we should just have casual oops litters instead.
