Being a breeder/exhibitor it's a hard decision to make, one that I've not had to make. Though I'll never say never, cause it'll come back and bite me for sure. My kids are not raised and kept in crates, other than to sleep...while they are showing, they're kept in x-pens in the house, but allowed to play outside. So, they're pets and show dogs.

Could I do it, if it meant that my girl was going to have the most wonderful life and make someone very happy, probably yes. My girls are retired champions, yes, alot of money went into championing them. However, if I needed to do this, it would probably be for the cost of spay and teeth cleaning.
