I think part of it is greed. People get a purebred (probably from a puppy mill), see the high prices these pet stores get for them, and think they can make money breeding them. They don't realise what vet care and proper feed costs, and how hard it is to sell all these puppies. And if they have a puppy mill parent, they are not going to get get quality pups. Breeding is something you do for the love of the breed, because you're sure not going to get rich doing it!
