Thanks for that. I guess I wll go somewhere else to get help versus a toungue lashing. This must be not a place to seek help or advice. Just one to get criticized.
It is not about the $. I don't want to be a breeder. I do have a few family members that want one.
Why put away wet and a little mess? Well......it was raining some......it is not the first time something was matted to the backside.....Already was planning on a bath in the morning. So speculate all you want....since you must know it all.
I am sure you were completely full of knowledge when you experienced this for the 1st time.
I appreciate your attempt at being a internet bully. I am sure you would not act so high and mighty if you were talking to me directly. I know they are not livestock, thanks for that assumption da.
We had been checking and watching. She was outside for less than 10 minutes and she did not display any behavior that was any different any other time. But you are the expert and have the 100% hind sight and could have prevented it.
I understand why the 1st death, but not the second. Which you had no comment on.
So my impression of a great place to share about yorkies has been turnd around by a person with a high and mighty opinion. Thanks for that! Flame on....because I expect it.

Why would you have put a poor poopy dog away in a kennel at any time, let alone when delivery of puppies was at least imminent?? Poor dog! Poor puppies!
Ask yourself WHY you want pups. If you are thinking about $$$$, then pls just spay her. If you want to be a real breeder, then you need to go on a massive study program, find a breeder willing to mentor, have both sire and dam evaluated first by a vet with blood work and checks for genetic problems, and then by a seasoned breeder who can evaluate them for conformation too. Not just any two dogs should be bred. Most of all, if you want to be a breeder, you will have to change your attitude towards your dogs. They are not livestock!
This may seem curt, but these were probably very preventable puppy deaths!! Dog ownership is a serious responsbility and if you allow them to mate, then it is a GRAVE responsibility that cannot be taken lightly. I just keep thinking of that poor puppy alone in a garage, immediately after its birth. You can't wait till they are dead to ask questions! |
