i'm sure this lady is a wonderful breeder. however, if you can't afford to breed any breed of dog, and take care of them for their life time (i plan to retire from breeding someday myself, when i'm older and i wont buy any more breeding stock at that time) if you cant take care of them for their lifetime, then you shouldnt even get into this in the first place. i felt this thread was aimed at my last post is all. my point is this: when we get a female for breeding, she becomes our center of attention. she is doted over and adored when she has babies....i just cant for the life of me imagine placing a girl that i went through so much with , not only with her but the entire process of obtaining her and all the months of hopeful waiting that she might have babies someday, then when the big day comes, loving those babies........ and..... then there's mommy. no babies anymore....older yorkie, not what we wish she was any more,,,,how could you just place her, (the same girl who put all her trust and love in you at one time) to someone else. thats all i'm saying....i'm just a rare person i guess, because i just couldnt do this with my girls or boys. i dont want this to cause any controversy with any of you. its my thoughts...you are all wonderful, outstanding breeders i know. but this is my outlook on this paticular subject...we all have our opinions....and mine may not be worth much to others but it's the gospel to me. so in closing, best wishes to all of you and i hope yt will remain a place to post opinions and thoughts freely without controversy. |
