Sounds like its already a heated discussion!!LOL Sorry in advance for any tpos as I just got stung by a scorpion on my right hand and it is numb and hurtslike an sob. I think that there is a correct way to do breeding practices and a wrong way. Most people start out with out a mentor and no direction. some onky think about the $$$ they can make and do make by cutting corners and startng out with sub=standard specimens of the breed. Alot of people breed sub-standard yorkies that are family pets to re-claim the $$ they spent on her and to let the kids see the miricle of life(or death as it all to often turns out).I see no harm in breeding if it is done right. That means you need to get all the hadlth screening done before even dreaming about breeding. Same with the stud that will be used. I think that any dog bred should only be a good specimen of the breed as described by the YTCA standard. Have a great mentor, preferrable a person who shows their dogs. Thsi mentor can evaluate your breeding prospect. If everything checks out , then great, breed your girl. I also believe that all pups shouds be sold on spay/neuter/limited registration as you dont want any of those babies to end up in mills. And now with all of the alternative registries that will register anything that has 4 legs as a breed, its better to have the pups spayed and neutered first before selling them. There is alos a right and wrong way to threat and house these dogs. Byb's usually dont care enough about them except to only give them the basics as long as they make a profit. Hobby breeders and exhibitors usuallytake much better care of the dogs as this is there passion, it is not a money making endeavor.
Well got to goas my hand it very painful. |
