I'm asking again, HOW MUCH DID YOUR FRIEND PAY FOR THESE DOGS? |
Although I agree that a monetary exchange would not be good in this situation, it does not have anything to do with it. The concern is over the breeder who continued to breed her even after a cesarian and also rehomed her without getting her spayed. Had she rehomed her to someone unethical they could have turned around and cause that poor baby to go through another (or many) cesarian and put the poor baby through torture. Had she been truly concerned about the dogs well being she would have spayed her. $10.00 or $1,000 really has nothing to do with the problem in the rehoming strategy (in this case). It would make it worse, but has no value in this.
