The sad thing about this is that I can't keep all the puppies, so those 3 or 4 puppies a year are placed in preapproved pet homes on a spay/nueter contract. Why? because I would have too many of the same pedigree and would be inbreeding. |
Ok this is not meant to point you out Mardelin but you are the show breeder that posted so I will use this example. If all of these quality dogs are spayed and neutered except your one show dog you keep to better your breeding program which I assume is to get another dog to show and not for breeding purposes, how is this considered bettering the breed? Do you understand what I am asking or am I just confusing everone including myself. LOL.
