[SpayToday]

Call me crazy, but if your friend knew you were a dog breeding nazi and worked full time at a rescue center that is a BYB(backyard breeder) and puppy mill buster, how would you react if they casually asked you if you'd be willing to help them search for a stud dog?!

Now my friend Mary we'll call her, has a 7 1/2 month old female Yorkie. She's from a pet store in Tucson, AZ and is APRI(or however the hell you spell it, all I remember is that it is some crap, scam wannabe AKC registry). She just started her first heat about a week ago. I asked Mary when she was going to spay her dog, Princess(that is the Yorkie's real name). Mary's reply was," After she has one litter-having a litter young is good for a female dog." Not wanting to be argumentitive, I said,"Well, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into: stud fees, travel fees, Brucellois tests for both bitch and stud, OFA/CERF for both(too many tests to list!!), prenatal care for momma once she's been bred, possible C-section, possible emergency medical care for both pups and Momma, de-worming meds soon after pup's are born, LOTS of puppy chow(should be high-quality), (atleast!) first set of vaccinations for pups before they go home and the possibilty (a very high one, at that!) of losing Momma/and or pups."

All Mary did was shrug. I doubt she took any of the important responsiblities as any reputable breeder would, into serious consideration. I think she's being down-right impulsive just because her neighbor said if Mary ever bred Princess, she and all of her bingo friends would be first in line to buy one of Princess' pups! Please, what can I do to prevent Mary from breeding her not meant to be bred, pet-quality Yorkie?!
