What you take in the ring is different than what you would want as a pet it's not because we don't love them any less....I'm sorry but this is the first time I got pissed off!!!! I love each and every puppy born into my home and I DO WISH I could keep everyone but it wouldn't be fair to the dog if I were to be over run and couldn't care for them properly! That's why you find a forever loving home for them!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Sorry this was my rant LOL

Donna, I'm with you......pretty angry, but mostely at myself, attempting to educate....I don't think that was done.
If only one knew the passion that we have and yes, it is our choice to breed and show. Whelping is not my favorite thing, I hate when that first contraction goes through my girl's body. Even knowing that I've prepared and have everything in place.....I know what to look for and the possibility anything can go wrong. I would love to keep everyone that is born. The flip side of that, is there is no greater joy than to see your pups happy and giving someone love....and better to be able to watch one that you bred in the ring, or one of your stud's offspring.....just strutting their stuff and doing well. But, I said before.....unless you've walked a mile in my shoes....I don't think anyone has the right to say much. Ask questions yes.....I welcome them
