We keep going back to the same old sack of bones. I want to breed my dog- come hell or high water. I do not care what the results are- it is my God given right. Yep you are right. It is your right. Go right ahead and breed LP's
Bad bites and liver shunts go the gambit. Can you can lay your head down an night and be proud of what you have done.
When there is a problem with the puppy you knowingly breed and her grandchildren two generations later or more have severe problems you can hold your head up high and say Yes that was my contribution to the breed. I am so proud of what heartache I have caused to the offspring and to the owners of these dogs.
There are posts on this forum daily where the breeder gets blamed for the problems that a person had medically, physically and emotionally with a dog that they purchased every day. Some are legit some are a pile of horse manure.
People who state I am not wanting to show so that I don't have to follow the standard are just making excuses. Some of us have made the comment that the perfect dog does not exist- that is being thown around as a catch all to make it ok for your bad judgement. Some of you would not know a quality YT if it bit you on the ankle. If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Should you be listed as a bad breeder on the bad breeder sites because you know what you are doing is wrong in breeding dogs that have faults that cause a health issue. If I am tweeking color/coat texture
size of the ears- or wanting a get out and go show attitude in my breeding program I am not causing any health issues. I can go to sleep at night and not worry have I done if I have done the right thing. |
