Why is the breeding industry so hellbent on changing nature?

I'm getting ready to do a post to my local swap group for a stud fee for my dog Yoebis, and I personally received 3-5 messages over the past 3 weeks from women who have dogs with long hair that do not shed. They have asked to be put on my waiting list, and I let them know I cannot do this. It will be at least 1-2 years down the road before I even have puppies, and I'm just being open and honest about that. <br><br>One of the ladies, however, decided to discuss breeding, and I realized she had not even done her research on the breed she's looking to breed. She began by asking what breed Yoebis is, and I let her know that Yoebis is a Peruvian Inca Orchid.<br><br>She then asked how much they cost, and I let her know that the average price of a well-bred, healthy puppy can start anywhere from $3,000 and go up to $10,000.<br><br>She was absolutely floored. She didn't understand why they were so expensive, and I explained the cost of a stud fee is at least $2,000, but you can pay up to $5,000. So right there, you have already spent at least $2,000, and that's not even including other expenses like spaying/neutering, vaccines, and even a litter being born. <br><br>She then asked me what the profit was for breeding dogs, and I explained it varies on how many puppies are in the litter, and some breeders may charge $5,000 or more. I won't dare to get into that, but she began to ask me some questions that just blew my mind.<br><br>She asked me if I could breed Yoebis with a Yorkie to get a puppy that looks like a Chihuahua with long hair that does not shed.<br><br>I explained to her that, first of all, you don't breed different breeds.<br><br>She then asked me about Yoebis' hair, and I explained that he does shed. She then asked why I didn't get him neutered so he wouldn't shed so much, and I explained to her that he was going to be a stud dog.<br><br>She asked me what a stud dog was, and I explained it to her in detail.<br><br>I then explained to her that the Peruvian Inca Orchid does shed, and there's no such thing as a dog that doesn't shed. <br><br>I then explained to her that I personally believe that's why there are so many sick dogs. They have been overbred to look a certain way. It's honestly ridiculous. <br><br>She then proceeded to tell me about Cane Corsos, and I began to tell her about the Cane Corso. She then began to tell me that there's hairless and powderpuff Cane Corsos. <br><br>I then told her my personal belief on this whole thing, and why I believe the breeding industry is just completely messed up. <br><br>I decided to post this here because I don't think there's an industry that is so hellbent on changing the natural way of how nature is supposed to work.<br><br>For example, some breeds are bred to be so big that they literally cannot live on their own. They cannot even walk on their own. Honestly, it's absolutely ridiculous, and I just don't understand why people want to change the way nature is supposed to work. <br><br>Please let me know your thoughts on this. It just seems like personally, the breeding industry is so hellbent on changing nature and the way nature works in the long run. It's like we're so stuck on getting our own way that we forget how nature is supposed to work.
