No, it was not directed at you. I have been in breeders homes who are so overloaded with dogs it is sad. Not enough time, money or attention for them all...and worse is the show breeder who "collects"..I have seen cages stacked 3 high with retired dogs..ones they are watching for the ring, etc...
I agree, we must each do what feels right for us...I am the first to admit I did not want my retirees growing old in my home.. I am so grateful to my bitches, nothing is too good for them and growing old in my kennel was not good enough. Even though they did not live the typical kennel life since my kennel was actually a part of the house itself... and they had others rooms in the house they could be with us...it is nothing more then numbers for me...I do not want my retirees being one of a large group..nothing more, nothing less.
I hope all comments are taken at equal worth..nothing I said was meant to cause contraversy. |
