I show and breed dogs and I can tell you from personal experience there are some "show" breeders out there that mass produce more then the commercial kennels/puppy mills.  One show breeder makes her living off selling her dogs.  Another show breeder euthanizes a lot of her "pet" stuff.  Culling litters IMO is a respectable thing to do, but she's still producing tons of dogs to get a few champions.    Either way the "left overs" end up dead.  At least with horses going to slaughter they are feeding someone.

Don't forget unspayed females.... I have thought this for years but it is an unpopular idea.  I have a georgeous German Shepherd with a mile long pedigree of German imports with Shutzhund III degrees but he is neutered.  In order to breed dogs you really need to show them and have a "real" kennel....my opinion only..........mb
