Michael Romanos, I know my views on breeding are somewhat U.S.-centric and filtered through what happens here with puppy mills, breed rescue and animal rights folks. But I'm curious.

You are in NZ right? How would you characterize breeding dogs in NZ and Australia compared to the U.S.? Are there problems there, with people discarding their dogs in animal shelters? Do large scale for-profit breeding operations exist, like we would call "puppy mills" here? Are hobby breeders regulated?
