She breeds out of passion, and to better the breed, Thereofr giving upi breeding isnt an option for her, but if she kept every retired breeding dog, she wouldnt be able to breed. LIke I said, It breaks her heart, and she always stays in touch with the families and visits the dogs. But honestly, if she did keep them, it wouldnt be fair to the dogs.


I think it's really hard to be a good breeder, you have to be a little tough, and really have the desire to improve the breed. I don't even know how they can sell a pup, I would want to keep them all.
