Accidents do happen, and it doesnt make a person a bad breeder or person
designer dogs are very popular right now, but i think its just a fad, and that there are so many people trying to create there own designer dog that it putting large volumes of puppies out there which is competion for the purebreds (jmo) and i could be wrong, but this is some of the talk i have gotten from breeders (this is not meant to start a argument or debate, so please dont take it that way, just adding my $.02)  |
Unfortunately in a case like this you can't just "answer the question asked." There are probably twice as many lurkers here as posters, and leaving something like this undiscussed could be dangerous for some other dog. Someone may decide, "Well, no one said it was a bad idea, I guess i'll give it a go!"
No one said she was a bad person or a bad breeder. Accidents do happen, but a good breeder would NEVER put her dog's life at risk by trying to "push through" this type of accident to try and breed the dog in the future, no matter how much she has to offer the breed. I doubt that she will do this once she gets a vet's advice though because she obviously cares about her babies. Unfortunately this is the price you pay for a lack of vigilance, accidental or not. I'm really sorry this happened, and many fantastic breeders have been caught in the same situation. However, trying to turn an (unsafe!) accident into income is not the right thing to do IMO. I understand she didn't realize it could hurt her girl at the time, but I just hope she realizes it before her girl gets too far along.
If designer breeds are just a fad, I will eat my socks. Everyone these days wants the newest, latest thing and I doubt this will ever change. They don't care about the repercussions or gaining knowledge about crossbreeding, they just want the image, and no shedding, and permanent "cuteness." I don't think it's going anywhere. I just hope that the people breeding these start genetic testing and keep record of pedigrees.
