i currently now only have 1 breeder female...these are the options i was looking at (we have another older female too so i can only add 1 more )
Gidget had 5 babies..3 males 2 females i orginally was thinking of keeping one female so that i have two females that can be breed..but then i would need to stud..not a big problem because i have know someone that has a male..
i dont think keeping a male would be good because i dont want to take a chance on inbreeding
i could home all of the puppies and purchase a smaller male to add to my breeding program? im thinking a 4-5lbs male. and just take my time looking so that i dont take a chance getting another larger male
so far i havent talked my husband into a 4th and i honestly dont want that many right now plus im not sure how the landlord would like seeing 4 dogs...she knows about the ones i have and she knows that i breed a little...she doesnt have a problem with that at all
has any breeder ever taking a deposit on a puppy and then later decided they wanted to keep that puppy? what do you do at that point? ( this hasnt happened im just asking) i know my last litter there was a beautiful girl and even my hubby wanted to keep her and i wished i hadnt let her go
thanks |
I would never take a deposit then send it back just because I wanted to keep the puppy. This is not right. BUT, I have cancelled sales and returned deposits for other things such as finding out the buyer lied to me or it wasn't the best home. I have one of Ceeby's girls here and there is no chance of inbreeding because when she is in heat, they are never down at the same time. BUT, I do have another stud and he tries to fight Ceeby when a girl is in heat. On the other hand, if you keep your girls, make sure you don't box yourself in where you have nothing to breed them to. What I would do is keep the two girls, sell the boys and use that money to purchase a smaller male with a good pedigree. By the time the girls are ready to breed, he will be old enough.
