I can assure you if I were to lone Milo, my hansom boy out as a stud dog (to my good friend I might add) there would be no chance of them ending up in a shelter or on the auction block!!! That I promise….I would keep them all before I ever let anything happen to a poor defenseless puppy NO MATTER WHAT THE BREED IS!!! To those of you who have said that I am a breeder…..I do not consider my self one. As I said I bred Milo twice. The first time was with my beautiful chocolate yorkie (Sophie). They are both healthy dogs, however the pup was to large to make it through her birth canal and she had to have a caesarian. This was very stressful for Sophie and I did not ever want to put her through that again so I had her spayed. She was only pregnant with one pup and her and Milo are not that much different in size, were talking not even 2#. (I’ll just clear that up now so no one is jumping to conclusions) The second time Milo bred our precious Dazi when she was in her third heat cycle and she did not get pregnant. So again I do not think this makes me a breeder. And last but not least for the ones who think I need a Biology class...... that was very RUDE!!!!!!!!!!!  |
My point in telling about the dog auctions was, in answer to the poster that claimed the mixes were in such "high demand". I'm sure your Milo's kids would not ever go on the auction block, but then you never
really know - do you?
The thing is, while your Milo's kids would go to good homes most likely, those are homes, that had YOU not bred, may have chosen a rescue/shelter mix, instead of buying one from a byb.......think about that...in a way you could be responsible for another puppy/dog losing it's life by breeding your Milo.
