Many breeders are taking it one step further and neutering the pets before leaving because there are so many unethical breeders, who buy a pet with limited registration, and go ahead and register it with one of the alternative registries. These are the same people who will argue that all registries are the same. There may come a time when you find someone that has a true gift for breeding and believes in the same ideals as you, and you might consider taking this person under your wing and offering him a breeding quality dog with full registration. You would thoroughly want to check this person out because you would still be responsible for any pets this person produces. When I say responsible I mean morally, not legally. |
I think there is a thread about neutering/spaying puppies too soon and the dangers of this.. I agree it assures that pets are not bred.. I do not do this.. and so far have had all my puppies by owners spayed or neutered.. but I also sell locally.. I get less money.. oppose to selling over the internet.. but I have a closer contact then with future parents..
The best of show breeders have done things that a non show breeder would never consider.. and I myself have seen these practices..
