It was in the breeder talk section, and I would be alittle worried if I saw it myself, if I was selling the puppy, but I would spay or neuter the pup before you got it if I was that concerned. The way I read the thread is that no one else had any idea that this happened till you told everyone. So now we have the discussion of why would someone tell. Well I for one didn't tell her cause I am just now seeing this, but I can understand why they did.

Do you have any idea how much work, love, tears goes into breeding. Its not that they pop the puppies out you feed them then you set back and wait to get the money, its alot of work, time and love. I have had all of mine tested for everything that could be tested. I put alot of time and love into my puppies, It cost alot of money to breed and you don't get rich from breeding. Sometimes you lucky if you make anything, I know alot of people believe that due to the prices, but you don't.

You have to remember when this little ones finally get to go to there new homes, they have been with us for 12 or more weeks, and they have become our babies that we love and adore, so yes we want the very best we can get for them, and if we decide that no breeding rights, and we give only limited reg. that doesn't mean that you can't breed them anyway, people would use a different reg. on them, so yes it makes you worry.

All I am saying to everyone that apparently has gotten upset over this thread is... To step back and look at the whole picture. Yes the OP has a right to ask any question they want to with out a hassle. and I didn't see anyone hassling you over the question. As you stated Kimmie loves her puppies and worries, well when someone else sees a thread like this and has the same passion as Kimmie, yes they are going to say something to her. you should understand. If people were more protective of there puppies there wouldn't be puppy mills or byb.

I think you were upset because someone told her and you took it as they didn't trust you. I don't think that was the intent of the person that told her, I am sorry if you felt that way, but look at the whole picture.

I think this is very well said. in addition...I dont see how it really matters that someone told her...it was posted on a public forum...chances are she would have seen it anyway and would have responded exactly how she did. I honestly feel that she had a right to know about the thread, and that it is up to her how she wants to handle it from here on out.

If you don't want someone to read your post...it's best to not post it in the first place. there is no sense in getting upset that someone alerted her to the thread. she really had a right to know it was there....and whoever did it was likely not trying to say they didn't trust you, I'm sure they just thought Kimmie might want to know about it and make her own decision on what she thought about it. Kimmie loves her babies...and I'm sure she is glad someone is looking out for her pups....even if there was no need to.

I'm not saying that the question shouldn't be asked...just that Kimmie has a right to know about it. bottom line.

and no, I didn't send the pm....
