BBC Pedigree Dogs

I finally managed to watch this last night and I have to say - I was appalled. But morally it puts me in a difficult situation - I have friends who are breeders and I have been involved in rescue volunteering for years and I can honestly see both sides. Most rescuers take a dim view of breeders believing they breed purely for money and vanity and most breeders believe that 'bad breeders' are a minority and most pups bred are loved and wanted and bred for the goodness of the breed. Sadly I think both sides are not wholly correct - Dogs were once 'man's best friend' and my own dogs are like family - their welfare always will come first and not aesthetics. From my volunteering I know that there are many bad breeders who are indeed in it for the money - don't believe me? ? - Take a look at the Many Tears website - it is guaranteed to break your heart. But I also have fallen in love with Bedlington Terriers a breed that thankfully does not come into rescue very often and was thinking about my next dog being a pedigree pup - I have built up my knowledge of the breed and sought out breeders and I believe I have found my ideal breeder - I have seen her dogs in action and would be happy to buy a dog from her in the future - but is that selfish - should I wait and offer a home to a rescue dog who needs me?
