Either the breeder kept the puppies, or placed them in pet homes to follow the lines. It was not done by many breeders because they knew it could be death for the puppies or else a life time of ill health.
I am afraid to many people are doing this without any knowledge or experience or understanding of what the outcome could be. |
I don't know if the # of years of experience has anything to do with it. But, it should only be done by those that have had ample training, taken classes and have the best mentors working with them. I've seen people that have been breeding for 10, 20, 30 years that haven't a clue about breeding. Yes, they breed, but don't have a clue about how to breed.
