Hi,
Not trying to tell you what to do honestly, but really think long and hard about not breeding her. I raised Peanut from a puppy especially for breeding. I KNEW deep down it wasnt a good idea. I basically ignorred the proven guidelines and thought if I find the right male who is small...etc it might work. Its very hard to spend several months waiting, hoping, dreaming, then having to tell yourself................honestly.......this isnt right... Basically I tried to fool myself and also defend my decision.
I can tell you this since it is a very fresh terrible feeling and thought in my mind.......you really dont understand the whole experience until you are at the crucial moment in it, kinda like a bad dream but you wake up from that, you cant from this.........this experience is real and once you start that ball rolling you cant change what can be a tragic outcome. I consider my yorkie very lucky.
I have a long relationship with my vet, not all from yorkies, we are avid animal lovers and have in the past brought in strays.....raised a few horses, a few siberian huskies several years ago...etc.
His last words to me " Kelly I hope you have learned from this experience"
He was very nice to me what he said.......I know what he was thinking. |
