Nothing you say, is going to prevent the accident that already happened, you are not going to be able to prevent someone that wants to breed their Yorkie with another breed, and you are not going to be able to prevent someone that thinks their pet is cute, and wants to breed for that reason. If you want to copy & paste a link with info on risks of breeding, and everyone that asks these questions can then read about the risks and choose if they want to go forward, but all it does is frustrates you, because you are trying so hard to stop these things from happening, and unfortunately these are things that you cannot control, or prevent, and I think that just BUILDS the frustration level in this area of the board. |
this kind of post is the reason breeders have stopped posting!
once again it appears the breeder is always the bad guy and the NON BREEDER that posts an opinion is just fine...suggesting to post a link, most dont read it or just glance it...how in the world is anyone going to learn.
Think about this...a breeder posts the reason why or why not to do something and just because a non breeder doesnt like the tone of which it was written the thread becomes a bitch fest. The non breeder has no place on this kind of thread and so the bitch fest begins.
Did anyones parents or college professor say just because you got an F in a subject "better luck next time" NO! It takes study to understand any breed and study to know how to whelp and raise them, I believe most new breeders are just too darn lazy or niave (thinking this is so simple) why study its mother nature, then panic when it comes time to whelp a litter quickly realizing they know nothing!
How about a breeder that knows nothing and loses their first litter simply because they didnt know the puppy can NOT regulate its own heat for the first three weeks of their precious life! Or what about the new breeder that loses a puppy on whelp because they let the mom do it unsupervised riped out the cord and ate through the stomach killing the otherwise healthy puppy. WHat about the new breeder that finds the moms whelping outside, bring her in for a bath and bathes in a medicated flea shampoo only to lose the entire litter because of the toxic shampoo residue.
NON breeders post sorry for your loss, where breeders are here it stop this kind of preventable accident not to placate the unaware but to teach them...
