Irresponsible people are definitely more of an issue, though anything can happen. Where I live, there is a huge overpopulation problem with chihuahuas. I personally like them, though I understand that not all chis are for everyone. It has gotten to the point though that shelters offer free spay/neuter for chihuahuas. In this particular case, I think neutering could really solve the problem. A big part of the issue is still puppy mills and backyard breeders. While I really support rescue I do understand that reputable breeders are not evil. Okay, so that does’t exactly relate to the original question. I am the master of tangents.
