Would I ever rehome my dogs? No never If I am alive I will never rehome my babies. even after Im gone they will stay with my husband, if hes gone then yes they would have to be rehomed. if I become homeless. My family know how much my babies mean to me, they know if they took me in they would also be taking my babies in. So I would have to say I would never rehome my babies as long as Im alive.
I do post on the rehoming threads and its usualy to say that I hope that baby finds a forever loving home.I try to watch what I say because I am not in their shoes. being rude to them does not help matters.but I think rehoming is so very hard on the dog.
Rehome be it a pet or retired show/breeding dogs, Theres no difference to me. its all rehoming. To me maybe even worse, The dog was used for what the owner wanted and then rehomed, that to me is so wrong ...It gave so much to its owner I feel that that should be gave back for the rest of their life.
As for rude and mean pm's I too have got many of those, some not even about dogs or Yorkies. I feel that if someone has something mean to say, say it on the forum, why hide behind pm's?

I agree with you totally. I see no difference and even think it's worse when breeders rehome retired dogs. When you go into breeding this should be one of the considerations you make. I am all for breeding for standards but don't think that dogs should be sacrificed to do so. When a breeder gets to the point where they have to start rehoming I think they should stop breeding, there are plenty of people out there breeding for standard and I'm sure the breed will survive, but those poor dogs that have to be rehomed purely because the breeder has no further use for them. It's sad that people will justify the breeders rehoming but can't understand why someone who is not a breeder needs to do this for personal reasons.
Let me add that I don't think people intentionally go out of their way to hurt others on this site, we have some very passionate people here and some very sensitive ones as well, I think we are all learning about tolerance and difference of opinions through posts like this, and when all is said and done, that's a very good thing.
I love you guys!!!!!!!
