Ridecamp: RE: [RC] OT- Petsmart

As a Border Collie rescuer, I agree whole heartedly.  Too many dogs, too few
with homes.

I shared this message with a show-dog board I am a member of. The general
consensus was that Petsmart definantly had the right to show her the door.
Petsmart is not the facility for breeders to be using to find business for
future litters or showcase there dogs. That is just what is going on by her
having her show puppies at the front door. That can be compared to a breeder
bringing in litters of puppies to a shelter and selling those to the people
who
would have been potential adopters for the dogs in waiting, meanwhile they
all
get euthanized due to the lack of adopters  There is a time and place for
everything, Petsmart is dedicated for homeless animals--period.

At the risk of continuing  an off topic subject, I hope this can put an
end to it.   Our local PetSmart provides a room in their store for the local
OHA (Owner Handler Association) to hold their weekly conformation classes
in.   This has been cleared through corporate headquarters I am sure.  They
have also made donations towards our local puppy matches and shows.  So, I
highly doubt that they are against "show people".   I always hate to see
these smear campaigns.
