California and the Chihuahua crisis

Animal rescue people groan every time Hollywood bring out a movie featuring a dog or dog breed. Dalmations, Labradors, Beagles, Goldens all come to mind when we think of recent movies which featured dogs.
Hollywood makes them popular and then due to poor breeding and then dumping, animal rescues are stuck trying to find homes for all the unwanted dogs which are no longer popular.
This is the case now in California with Chihuahuas. "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" along with celebrities toting dogs around in purses, have caused the state to be flooded with the breed. Add backyard breeders and puppy mills who produce what the public wants and now they are having to ship these homeless dogs out of state.
