Many problems with dog breeding can occur. For the most part, problems with dog breeding include genetic problems like hip dysplasia, eye problems, heart problems, and even deafness. These genetic problems arise from the small gene pool available to full bred dogs. Unlike mixed breed dogs who have a lot more genes available, and the bad genes are bred out, full bred dogs often have the same bad genes and thus when they are bred their offspring also gets those genes. Problems with dog breeding also include those arising from poor conditions in the dog breeder's care. Some dog breeders own "puppy mills" in which they breed as many dogs as they can without much thought or care for the actual dogs. All these types of dog breeders care bout is their checkbook. To avoid such problems with dog breeding, consider getting a mixed breed dog from your local pound or humane society. Such dogs are much less likely to have genetic problems and will also be a lot less expensive. Many times the humane society or your pound will also have given the dog his or her necessary shots so you will not need to pay any vet bills |
