I'll be the first to tell you I don't know everything vet-related because I am still learning. But in this case, I have a strong opinion about breeding and I'm going to state it. I don't get why you don't understand that? What you believe is just an opinion too |
I don't understand why you being 22 years of age and a vet tech student had anything to do with your knowledge or maturity.
There alot of people your age that are wise beyond their years. Learn to soak up what everknowledge that is passed onto them and keep their mouths shut when they encounter people with more knowledge on a subject then they have (a sign of maturity and a good practice no matter what age).
I was a RN in my past life too. Believe me assisting in the Delivery room is very different that whelping a puppy. There are those wonderful monitors to help you with determining wheter things are right or wrong. Mother's can scream and tell you what is wrong. With whelping puppies, dams are at our mercy and we must be prepared for any emergency, whether it will happen or not.
As you said vets and vet tech's do not know the standard of every breed, they went to school to learn how to save lives and repair problems.
I admire you for your maturity and conviction.
