Don't get me wrong, I'm not against breeding. I just think that after a litter you should not breed for the next 2 heats at a minimum if you want to keep mom healthy! |
The bottom line is that you have gone about this the wrong way. Coming to a message board and making such vague accusations will not get you far here. That does nothing but upset those who have truly had bad experiences and are more than willing to share all persons and facts involved, and more so the breeder/person who is being targeted. The way you have come here to bash is WRONG. If you have an issue, you need to A) contact the breeder as her daughter has suggested several times, or B) share all names of persons and full factual information (fyi: a fact is something TRUE that is PROVEN, not a assumption).
Finally, it is your OPINION that it is best for females to be bred once and skip two heats. Several other well known vets and experts disagree. Some say breed 3-4 heats in a row and then spay, some day breed skip breed skip, some say breed breed skip, and there are many other varied opinions. You get the idea. I guarantee they all have facts and figures that support their theories. I can find you several websites right now that go against your opinion, with facts that have been reported and proven, just as I'm sure you can come with many resources that state you are correct. That's the way it works. In the end, I think that all good vets and all good breeders would agree that it is not healthy for a female to breed continuously for many many years every heat, but beyond that they all disagree. It is a breeders right to take in all this information and do what is right for them and for their dogs. It is NOT YOUR RIGHT to attempt to make their choices for them and use their information (or lack of it in this case) against them!
