Does breeding and selling dogs fit into right livelihood provided that you make a concerted effort to make sure the animals find homes with responsible owners? --- **Edit**: Thanks for the answers so far. I am especially interested in answers that are rooted in the Pali Canon. There are two relevant suttas that I found: 1. The [Vanijja Sutta](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an05/an05.177.than.html) 2. The [Dighajanu (Vyagghapajja) Sutta](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an08/an08.054.nara.html) However, it seems like there is dispute about how to translate and understand the relevant passages. Any answers that specifically address these issues would be appreciated.
