It strikes me as kind of odd to be talking about adhering to a code of ethics while breeding a too small female. I had a gorgeous girl that I placed back in '08 due to her small size. She was 3 1/2 pounds at 10 months. When I took her to my vet for a wellness check before going to her new home, he made a comment about her being such a nice looking dog and that she was perfect for breeding. I just laughed and said no, she's much too small for breeding and she's going to a great pet home. I trust my vet in all things veterinary, but the breeding decisions and responsibilities are mine. |
