I had a member ask me to share my story on hear for when people asked about breeding so.

About two years ago now my uncle had this adorable little chihuahua mutt, Sugar baby she weighed maybe 12 pounds he used to let her run all over and of course she was not fixed because"that's too much money" and of course the classic"her and rocky don't like each other that way"Rocky is my grandmothers 29 pound Shetland sheep dog.
turns out they did like each other that way and just after Rocky's first birthday he mounted the little dog.The neighbors said her screams wear terrible.
well when Sugar baby had the puppies there wear 5 of them and they already weighed almost a pound at birth so she had nearly doubled he body weight while pregnant After the puppies wear born I got a frantic call from my 14 year old cousin (who was the dogs owner as much as a child ever really can be) and she said sugar baby was shaking really bad and she did not seem able to breath I rushed right over I took her to the emergency vet This cost me i cant quite remember but i think $200 the vet told me the stress of the labor had probably sent her into a seizure So with nothing else i could do i took her home.
A week later I got a call from cousin again in tears saying that her father dumped sugar baby and the pups in a parking lot because "she got aggressive with those pups" wouldn't you? so i got in my car went to the parking lot and saw the box of week old pups but no mom in sight The pups wear so cold i was sure they wear going to die I had my fried come with her van and take the pups to the vet (again on my dime)
while i stood out in the cold and called and searched for sugar baby finally after about 2 hours she decided to come to me I got her in my car and took her to the vet this trip cost even more money about $500 i think the pups had almost all ended up with pneumonia so i had to give them medicine for that every few hours by the end of the next week the puppies wear 2 pounds easy and some a little bigger mom could not feed them all after all put together they weighed more then she did so every two hours i had to feed at least 2 puppies maybe three if she was pushing them away
then come the time to worm and vaccinate that cost another 2-300 dollars finally by the time they wear 8 weeks old i had to let them go i was spending over $50 a month on dog food and i also went out and got them collars and leashes and stuffies and a chew toy for each one. that cost about $60. when all was said and done the $90 i made in re-homing them all did nothing to help ease the financial burden of raising them.

I am happy to say that a nice family came and adopted the whole family Mom and dad got Sugar baby (now named dinky) and her son bug-a-boo( bug) a older sister got one of the girls lizard (lizzie) an aunt got another girl Rockette (kept the name she liked it) and pixie and Gwen(again kept the names) went to a close family friend who is over all the time.
All the puppies with the exception of Rockette are fixed,when she went in she started seizing under the anesthetic and almost died twice.
I am happy to know that Sugar baby/dinky will never have to go through that again,and neither will her 4 beautiful girls
