Years ago I heard a vet say that if she could write the law, she would shut down all breeders, including the excellent, reputable breeders, until all the animals in the shelters and rescues have good homes. I don't disagree.

Could you imagine! ❤Probably wouldn't even take that long! 1-2 years maybe. (I'm likely being over optimistic lol.)

[@auntiemingo]

In theory that sounds good, but in practice wouldn't really be good for those that need purpose bred dogs ie working dogs. Dogs like livestock guardian dogs, herding dogs, police & military K9s, even service dogs, need to have certain instincts, have a certain temperament, and/or be the right size. You're not going to find most of those dogs in a shelter, except for occasionally service dogs or search & rescue dogs. Shutting down unethical breeders or show dog breeders would go a long way towards helping

[@kathycortez232]

Amen 🙏

[@cornelia9778]

Rather than put the dedicated good breeders out of business I think those breeders should get more active in shutting down all the breeding factories.

January 3rd 2023 I adopted an 18 month old Bernese Mountain dog female. Annie was terrified of people, never in a house, never been out in the world, never had a bath, never been in a house, she was completely shut down. Fast forward 18 months and Annie allowed me the privilege of touching her, on her terms! From the day I adopted Annie we have been on a hell of a journey together. It's all been worth it! We are inseparable! Thank you for all you give to these broken survivors!

[@AcmeRacing]

I used to take care of a Bernese when her owner was out of town, and she was the best "dog guest" we've ever had. If she's anything like her cousin Moxie, once she's socialized and properly trained she'll be a joy.

Many years ago, I was a Rottweiler breeder, but unlike some of the breeders you deal with, our mama Rottweiler was as much a member of our family as we were. We had a litter every year and a half. We had 1/2 acre fenced for the dogs and an inside room designated for the dogs. We had 3 litters before we realized exactly what Rocky said, shelters exist because of people like us. I feel good about how we ethically bred our dogs, but the people who treat their animals like means to an end with no regard for their health and happiness make me sick. Anyone who treats another living being as an object and a means to their end doesn't deserve to ever be trusted. Thank you, Rocky, Kelly, Alexis, Mel, and the entire AFV team, for your tireless advocacy on behalf of those without a voice. ❤🐈

[@Texas240]

Even if you genetically health screened the parents and treated them well, the fact still remains that nearly 5 MILLION dogs end up in shelters EVERY YEAR in the USA with over 400,000 being eliminated. Essentially, the pups of your well treated dogs either directly ended up eliminated in a shelter before the end of their life or were directly responsible for a dog that was eliminated because a potential pet parent bought instead of adopt. So, thank you for not continuing, even though you are proud of your dogs and wanted to share their offspring with others.

I feel extremely sorry for what dogs have been through Rocky, it’s very bad isn’t it I’m glad that you and your team come to their rescue in my own words I’ll describe you and them as a gang of heroes who team up and work together in order to save the lives of innocent dogs bless you and your team Rocky.

I love the fact that we don’t have puppymills, shelters and street dogs in my country. We love our dogs❤

Cinder is a sweetheart. Seeing the photos of the other dogs with the very long mats that looked like dreads definitely tells us this has been going on for a long time. I pray that they find the people responsible. It wouldn't surprise me that there's more dogs. I live in NYS. I saw on the news last night a bill was passed that pet stores can no longer sell dogs and cats. I have signed every petition to stop puppy mills and hopefully this bill will help with this awful problem. Sadly, I know it won't solve it completely. I do see it as a win. Praying that Cinder and the other pups find a loving forever home for Christmas. Thank you Rocky, Kelly, and team for all you do. I always knew there were angels walking among us 💞👼🙏

Mel did a really good job on Cinderella and Pumpkin and Bonnie are surprising DNA results

My niece fostered a young pittie that her friend found on the side of the road, she had been hit on the head and left, was emaciated and had obviously been bred many times. She’s still a bit apprehensive around men she doesn’t know, but is now generally happy and friendly and energetic. Bless all the people who donated to help her foster and heal that dog. ❤

Please promote your cat treats more consistently on your videos- alone or even with just featuring a little cat for 30-60 seconds in the shelter as part of your video outro. Many of us didn't know you had cat treats and if you announced it more consistently us cat guardians could support you and give our meowers fantastic treats

[@BettyDuguid]

Thanks for posting, I've been watching these videos for ages now, but didn't know there were cat treats 😊

[@kmq3589]

Where can we get the cat treats? I couldn't find them on the website.

@rockykanaka please hear our meows!
