There are no pros, sure the people selling the animals make a profit, but slavery was profitable as well and that wasn't right either. It is terrible on the animals themselves because in order to make a profit these dog breeders cut corners in their care for their animals. Female dogs may spend their entire life pushing out puppies. They receive either no medical attention or the bare minimum of it. They are denied adequate food and shelter. They receive no protection from the elements. In the winter they freeze and in the summer they must put up with sweltering heat. These dogs barely see the outsides of their cages and they receive absolutely no socialization. Also little care is given to the breeding itself. A responsible breeder carefully matches dogs so as to avoid unwanted health problems such as deafness, blindness, hip dysphasia and many others. The puppies are taken away from their mothers far to quickly and rarely do they receive the proper shots or immunizations before they are shipped off to a store.

The mistreatment of the dogs also causes problems for those who buy them, because puppies are torn away from their mothers to soon there are often behavior and socialization issues. It is not unusual for the puppies that come from these breeder to be seriously ill. The poor breeding causes all kinds of health issues later in life. The life span may be diminished and problems such as hip dysphasia, blindness, skin problems, hearing loss. Theses things are bad for the dog and your pocket book. If you plan on getting a dog please adopt. Even if you have a particular breed in mind, there are rescue groups out there for every imaginable breed of dog, you just have to be willing to look. However if you are insistent on buying a dog from a breeder, please make sure you get the dog from a good breeder.
