On the spay/neuter topic, I have gotten annoyed with people in my area, as they're mostly hicks around here and truly believe that their male dog will feel less of a 'man' if neutered, which, really, is absurd because (aside from mating) dogs don't really have a sexual identity.
Though I must say this about the whole Spay and neuter thing:
I hope that there are people who do not spay and neuter their pets for one reason, because if EVERYONE did, then dogs would eventually go extinct. Of course, I think breeders should have a license and be regularly checked up on.
(So should people who have tons of kids, IMO. The world's overpopulated in general.)

Sadly a lot of those uneducated people are willfully ignorant. The willfully ignorant are the saddest kind. They have the chance to change it but do nothing about it.

I have a pet Kitten named CiCi right now. She's not fixed yet but I'm not letting her outside or around any cats who could do anything with her. (I'm saving up right now she needs her shots too. [she is a saved stray kitty]{She's not in heat yet}) I also do NOT let her outside. I don't like the idea of outdoor cats in general but that is a different issue entirely that doesn't effect why I'm not letting Cecilia outside.

Indeed it is a horrible solution to a horrible situation. But not enough people give and at least they are taken care of and given a chance to be rescued. It's not a good system right now but it could be a lot worse.

Not enough people are willing to look at these shelters for their potential pet either. That is upsetting to me personally when people are so full of themselves they won't even consider saving a life before having a new one forced into existence. (On a side note. It breaks my heart when I see a dead dog or cat [or really a dead anything] on the side of the road.)

I'm not justifying in anyway, but animals who are fixed do in fact behave differently. This is because their hormone levels drop off. And if you know enough about hormones you know they control a lot of what animals (and too often humans) do.

I'd like to say again I am not justifying their view on it in anyway.

Getting a male dog neuter will change it's temperament but for the most part, of course nothing is 100%, it stops them from being overly territorial, wondering to find a mate and become very aggressive is a female in hear is within a mile of them. It also takes away the risk of some caners when a dog is fixed. It improves their health overall and it will help them to live longer, happier lives.

I have a kitten I took in to foster, him and two siblings. A box of nine kittens were left outside my job over the summer. Everyone pitched in to help out. They poor things were between 3-5 days old, many had umbilical cords still. I sadly lost two of the kittens as well as I think it was three other kittens we lost, it might have been two, and it kills me to think who ripped them from their mothers -it was two litters-. Granted they left them at a place where they would be given the best care, they still abandon them and gave them no chance at life.
And from all that I was able to keep the kitten that survived, my dog grew attached to him ^.^ as the cat to the dog too, I found out he is decrypted, witch is his balls never dropped. He can't reproduce but if I don't get him fix he WILL have cancer at a very early time. -I'm doing it next month with a low cost program-

And to think everyone, the mothers, the kittens and us could have all be saved the suffering and grief if someone would have just had their cat fixed.

My older cat was spayed when I found her as a stray. A program came in, took her, spayed her and put her back. It's becoming a more common place thing for cats and dogs all over, a stray will get picked up and fix and put back to live out it's life.
-Sorry...I'm still ranting and going off topic >< I'll get back into topic now-

Only one thing to add to this from me
Female cat at least also change. In the very least while in heat they become overly affectionate (I guess overly is not the word in my own view just more affectionate.) The give long drawn of meows. Spend a lot more time nuzzling up against things or people. And they also tend to lick their crotch more.

Side Note
Sad story about the young kittens. It is so much harder to take care of them when they are so young and still need milk. (I think CiCi is the runt by the way she isn't as big as her two surviving brothers. She is in fact a great deal smaller.)

@Seph- Oh I know they act differently, but not in a 'I'm so depressed now that I'm not a man!' sort of way. The only animal I've had that's acting differently after getting fixed is my latest kitten (who was a rescue kitten), and she's just slept a bit more and has actually become more affectionate. Of course, this might also be a over-time issue as, like I said she was a rescue kitten and was terrified of most everything hen we got her, but has since begun to be less afraid.

We've gone a bit off topic, though, I think...

Ya we have, my fault sorry. But to get back on topic...

People who buy pure breeds, for the most part, buy them from a store that is supplied by a puppy mill. They don't look about he breed before hand.
People that do buy from good breeders normally get the dog fixed. The breeder will make them get the dog fixed for health reasons and so accidental breeding don't happen.

I saw someone say people breed for the money. Well, there isn't much money in it for most people. They do it for the love of the breed. The only real money comes form the champions. It will make some side money for people like a few hundred to get some things they want. But it takes a lot of time to raise the pups and a lot of money to feed them. It's not done for the money for the most part.
Puppy mills are for the money, not breeders.

See anything wrong with this? Instead of taking care of and fixing said deaf puppy. They suggest "Humanely destroying a deaf puppy."(the use of destroying rather then killing is desensitization of the act.)

Read their suggestions about killing a puppy rather then having it be fixed and being allowed to live a normal life. (They even seem to talk about this with people who AREN'T breeders)
I find this disgusting their views put simply, Kill the problem breeders made in the first place to fix it later on.

Irresponsible breeding is the result of "mutts?" (The OP's view)

This kind of purebred breeding (mentioned in the quote) sounds like the irresponsible breeding that goes on to me. And killing off a deaf puppy instead of fixing it and alerting any potential buyers that this puppy is deaf and should not reproduce (if it wasn't fixed) seems like irresponsibility in breeding.

Of course I'm talking as are they about the common genetic defect of Dalmatian's being born deaf. (Not dogs later becoming deaf with old age this can be natural as it can be with humans)

That's horrible! My grandma's old Dalmation, Matches, grew deaf, though he wasn't born deaf. I do not see the point in putting down animals that are deaf or blind or similarly disabled, as those are conditions that can easily be worked around. After all, humans adapt quite well to being deaf or blind. I do see a point, however, to 'culling' some pups, but only those with major health issues that will lead them to live miserable or 'okay' lives at best.
Alot of breeders, though, do believe in killing instead of just fixing disabled dogs. I'm not sure why, though I suppose the only reasonable excuse would be they believe that disabled dogs will not be adopted and will only end up being put to sleep regardless, which, is somewhat true. A lot of people don't want a special needs animal, in the same way they wouldn't want to take care of a special needs human.

I'm alright with people having and breeding a certain breed of dog, as long as they don't interbreed their animals like some owners of puppy farms do, because they can't be bothered to travel to another breeder to pick up a dog that isn't related to any of theirs. And as long as they don't destory any one "that isn't correct acording to the kennel club guide".

But see I'm talking about people That do destroy puppies

I don't see why the breeders don't sell on the puppies, ok so they're not as the kennel club's guide says how they should look, that's no reason to destory a prefectly healthy dog. They're not going to get the thousand or so that they could for a pedigree but it's better than destorying it.

Alot of vets now refuse to put healthy dogs down and it's only older vets who have known breeders for years who still do that.

I can see the law on breeding being changed soon after a documentory on the effect that inbreeding has on dogs.
