Stacked 2 the Max

One show dog breeder said: Of course she had the losers 'put to sleep' (paid the veterinarian to kill them), because if she didn't, she'd have dogs stacked to the ceiling.

The way she said it, and the way another person nodded as she said it, I think it was probably either a quote from somewhere, or something someone they knew had said. Sort of an in joke, that went over my head.

But it brings out an obvious truth: If you had a 6 breeding dogs, and you keep 4 puppies a year as possible show dogs, and one of those becomes a real show dog, but you keep the other 3 because "What else can you do with them?", and then the next year you keep 4 more puppies, and then. . .

Well, if the dogs aren't being bred for their temperaments, but for their nice coats, and conformity to show standards, then they will fight, so the dog breeder puts them in plastic boxes, stacks the boxes on top of each other, and soon has a houseful of dogs.

She becomes a hoarder.

Now, if her blood turns a little colder, she starts to kill off (oh sorry, I meant "puts to sleep") some of her dogs (or sells them to a buncher for lab experiments), now she 'only' has 8 dogs, so she isn't a hoarder, and is now a better person, and less crazy, than what she was a month ago, when she had 20 dogs, right?

Somethings not right with that picture, but what?
