185.	Nash County Animal Friends' Notebook Are you a BACKYARD BREEDER? You are a backyard breeder if your dog had a litter for fun, profit or by 'accident'.Of all the millions of dogs in the USA, about two-thirds come from backyard breeders. They are the single greatest cause of the pet overpopulation crisis in this country. Because of backyard breeders over 8 million healthy, adoptable pets are killed every year, due to too many pets, not enough homes. The number one biggest contributor to the problem is the "backyard breeder" not the puppy mills. Carol Vierela, NASH COUNTY ANIMAL FRIENDS / Published Wednesday, October 7, 2015 10:58 pm
