[HERBS]

I am not a breeder nor would I ever want to have a business selling puppies. I am glad there are breeders out there or else I would not have my babies. Question: Have you ever bought a dog and fell in love with it? The mannerisms (sp?) and loyalty? If I was to find a sweet baby girl that I could not live without I would not want the option of having 1 litter taken away from me. It is a personal decision nothing more. Would I actually go through with breeding in the years to follow? Probably not or I would have bred Basil by now and just kept one of her girls. I have not bred her because I have no clue on how to do it and her health and LIFE is more important to me. Before I would even consider 1 litter I would have to meet with other breeders, speak to my vet, actually be part of a birth etc. I merely want the option as a security blanket for myself (just in a rare case I decide to have babies by my babies). That is about it... My dogs sleep with me, lay on me, lay on my furniture etc. When Basil is in heat, I take excessive measures to not only protect property from being soiled but I also take measures to keep my boy from being "with" her. She not only wears a disposable diaper but a one piece jumpsuit as well. there is no possible penitration especially with me and them being together all day (I do not work). Again, I thank the breeders for selling to responsible forever homes! I do not believe in over populating the world with dogs so I would not contribute to that. Does that answer why I would like an unaltered female?
