Get a second dog.

How do you know dogs prefer to be put down than occasionally left to chill home alone?

The alternative is not putting them down, but rather to stop breeding them.

Also "occasionally left home to chill" does not describe a typical domestic dog's life. More like "left at home all day, five days a week."

Dogs breed themselves just fine - ever been to a shelter?

They breed because irresponsible people (breeders and owners alike) let them breed.
