New dog owners

With all the BSL going on I'm starting to think that a OSL (Owner Specific Legislation) should be started. There's so much good information out there for people to use. It's not like winging it with a new born of your own! There are too many ignorant owners around no wonder we're having so many problems as responsible owners! I just spent 2.5 hours during my son's soccer practice trying to explain to a family that they're going about it all wrong with their new 8 week old Shitzhu boy! Drag around on leash, push on it's back it get it to sit as some examples. One child was treating it as a doll, carrying it everywhere. Mom said that she didn't want the pup to sleep now since it won't sleep through the night. I told her to get over it and that it's a baby! She wanted to know how much dogs sleep an adult requires. Son brought it over to torment a large dog in its yard! Dad wants to breed it to a co-worker little girl "when they get older" so he can have another. He even mentioned that he acquired his pup from a nursery. The female has the same birth date but from a different source. I wouldn't be surprised if they were littermates. Found out that the so-called nursery was in Quebec supplies Toronto, Ontario area pet shops! Red flags everywhere!!!!!!!!! Gave them a name of a wonderful family pet training facility. I'm starting to work on the breeding question but I have to be careful what I say around his kids. I don't want them to think that their new pup is bad in anyway, not fair to them. After all it's the adult that makes the final decision.
