The way I "think" the satellite or surogute if you will, works is that the breeder sends a girl off to someone else to raise until breeding time. Then the breeder brings the dog home and breeds her then ssend her back to the other place until time to whelp. The breeder whelps the puppies raises them, sells them and then the bitch goes back and after a few times of this, the person owns the dog.. Something like that. You asked what would I say to someone that asked me about doing this? I would use my big mouth and tell them I think that if they can't care for their girls or they are such a big enterprise they have to do this, then they shouldn't be breeding and it is not someone I would buy a puppy from. I think the person I talked to has about 13 satellite bitches. She couldn't understand why I would object to that. This is not the same thing as leasing a bitch to breed or show. in my opinion and it is just my opinion, this is puppymilling or BYB. |
