We both know there is a lot to consider and we have already considered all of it-I don't know why it was assumed that we hadn't.
Anyway, thanks for the answer. |
No one is saying that breeding is bad, but it is when you do it without doing your research first. The question you asked was pretty basic knowledge for a breeder, that was why people assumed that you hadn't looked into it very far.
If you did your research as you claim, then I am sure you are also aware of this: You state that the breeding pair that produced your male also produced a 22 pound dog? Hmmm...that kind of genetic background isn't what you want in a stud. That could very easily put the life of the female you want to breed to at risk. But of course, you knew that, right?
