In another one of her blog entries she was excited about the prospect of having an *open house* several times a year to bring in more customers: [QUOTE REMOVED]
I found this distasteful to say the least. There were many, many entries of her complaining how exhausted, tired and worn out she is. She says it’s because she is just caring for a litter like any good breeder would do. I say, maybe if you gave your dogs a break from breeding and shut down the assembly line maybe you could get some much needed rest.
