These dog shows make me sad. They glorify breeding purebreds when there are so many amazing dogs in shelters awaiting adoption. I rescued my mixed breed dog from a shelter and she is healthy, loving and adorable. Why create more dogs (often with health problems from inbreeding) when so many already exist?
