In my opinion from the ones I have talked to and heard about, the way vets look at it is that some dogs have trouble and need C-Sections just like some humans do. They do not necessarily see a C-section as an abnormal health risk or a reason not to breed. Many women have multiple c-sections so they feel why should it be different for dogs?
I also felt is was only fair to the breeder to point out that she did not use th word "teacup" in her ad. |
Okay. I guess your post is just confusing because you wrote that it was your opinion as well...
