Is there a way to take back this breeding - No
Is Kendra trying her very best to ensure the Health & safety of Mom & pups,
I believe so, witch is more then the BYB is doing.
Is this Bitch a living breathing creature who deserves better then the hand she's been dealt - YES
What's done is done & can't be changed, but Kendra is doing her best to change any future breedings from this BYB. I think she deserves some credit for trying, witch is more then most people would do. She is going the distance for the dogs. |
I so agreed the OP deserves much credit for caring...the litter is on the way...she wants the best results...but what I am concerned about IS..will this stop the breeder from breeding this bitch again...? Is this the only bitch she has..is she a breeder who wants to continue to breed?
I do not know these answers and it colors my thinking on this....
I will help anyone in trouble, but I will not enable them to continue to line their pockets with money made off of dogs...
Who is paying for all the vet expenses...it is going to be a big bill if these pups are kept until 12 weeks..is the breeder paying...
You may find this a silly cost..but food for a litter is very expensive...there are many costs that incur..and I have taken bitches, whelped and paid all the expenses myself..placed and spayed the dam..but they never went back to the breeder...I have counted back at least 5 litters I did over the years...
I made the pet owner sign a contract givng me full rights to the dog and I assumed all expenses...and since I did not want to sell these pups and represent them as mine...I asked for $100 donation to off set expenses...
I have been used and I learned how to turn it around and help in a way the bitch could never be used again....I never feel as badly for the pups, as most BYbers sell them asap-...but the bitch can be bred to death...I want her!
