Why Backyard Breeding Is Worse Than You Think
In this episode we talk about what backyard breeding actually looks like, why it's harder to spot than puppy mills and how well-meaning people unintentionally contribute to the slow destruction of whippets and any other breed. This episode is not about blaming individual dogs or shaming owners. Backyard bred dogs are just as worthy of love, care and protection as any other dog. But loving a dog does not make breeding them ethical. Using real-life whippet examples, we'll break down why backyard breeding, alongside puppy mills and impulsive buyers, is one of the biggest contributors to poorly bred dogs, health problems, behavioral issues and dogs ending up rehomed, abandoned or in shelter 00:00 Intro 01:59 Disclaimer 02:39 What is backyard breeding 03:00 The imortance of a pedigree 05:39 Myths and motivations behind backyard breeding 05:50 She needs a litter to be healthy 06:34 The breed is rare 07:06 The breed needs to become more popular 07:36 It's just one litter and that will be it 08:37 My whippet is the loveliest dog and I want one just like them 09:18 I will keep all the puppies 10:05 Breeding for money 11:01 My whippet perfectly fits the standard 12:05 Proving the dogs 14:39 The lack of health testing 16:35 Choosing a mate 18:46 Why backyard bred puppies are usually cheaper 19:26 Why backyard breeding can be monetized 19:55 How backyard breeders raise their puppies 22:32 The vicious cycle of backyard breeding Subscribe, so that you don't miss any hound content: / @showpaws Shop Sighthounds Accessories at: https://www.showpawsshop.com/en-index...
