| So sad... I found out today that a breeder around here that I had considered buying a puppy from last year has an 8-year-old female that she's still breeding...on every heat. The excuse was, "well she's never had a problem, and I figure she'll stop when she's ready." This person has 7 breeds now (just recently added another), and LOTS of adults (I can't begin to guess). Sad, so sad... |

YT 1000 Club Member | LOL.. When you said, "...around here..." I assumed around YT... I was actually searching! Did she have most of her current breeds when you were looking a year ago? or did she only have a couple and have so far added a few in the last year? |

| She had 5 I think when I looked...but I thought she may just have a small kennel. I know that's generally a red flag, but my mentor has 5 breeds and they're all very well taken care of...she just has a few of each. So I figured I'd just look...she had a male adult that I was interested in at the time. Needless to say, I left without the male...I was quite unimpressed... |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Ugh , that poor mama. She deserves a well earned life of leisure in the lap of luxury.......something she's obviously NOT going to get there......probably not even when the lady does stop breeding her. Sad , sad , sad .

| This is very ridiculous to breed a 8 years old . Last night , at the hospital we had to do a c-section to an 11 years old Shih Tzu . Poor little girl , we are not sure she'll recover from it . She wasn't feeling good when I was ready to go home . I'll keep her in my prayers . |
