I got the same responses from breeders here on YT. I know in the past before we knew much about spaying and neutering (showing my age now lol) we had a teeny tiny beagle. She was accidently bred to another beagle and bless her little heart did not survive delivery. We are not breeders and were novices she started to bleed so bad because she was just to small we didnt get her to the vet in time. It was horrible to watch this happen to her. Yes I know breeders have lots more knowledge than I had but why chance it.  |
thanks for that. i feel that at least it's a reason why breeding tiny dogs is a bad idea. (as opposed to the 'it's unsafe because i said so' type of FEEL)
so does that mean as long as you do the tests necessary and somehow are able to know that the small dogs uterus is in very good shape, then it is a safe practice.
i just want to say i am not FOR or against breeding tiny dogs. i don't know enough to say either way. i am FOR education. i think we all need to be more informed.
