Isent that what you breeders are doing when you breed your females? taking the same chance at losing your females? so why is it ok for you to breed and take the chance? I just dont get this answer coming from someone who does breed.
Again dee Im not trying to point fingers or start trouble, I just really dont under stand this.
I say read every thing you can and have all the test done on her an dthe male you plan to breed her with before deciding to breed her. Ask your vet what he/she thinks. If she was mine I wouldnt breed her , just keep her as a loving pet. |
To answer your rquestion, breeding is not something to be taken lightly. You had better know what you are getting into and the risks involved.
Most people that ask the question to breed or not to breed, are not wanting to put a lot of effort into research, they just think it would be fun to have a litter of puppies, and they are not prepared for the risks complications.
So for someone to bring up the questions, are you prepared to lose your dog? Have you thought about the risks? Could you forgive yourself if something happened? is not out of line. The person asked for advice and she got it.
Most people do not realize that losing them is even and issue.
