I am not saying that having puppies is for everybody, I am just saying that it can be done and done right. |
But that is the exact problem with breeding. You just never know the outcome. People will just allow breeding to occur because they do not spay and neuter their pets then do not take responsibly for the puppies that are produced. They think putting two dogs together is all that it takes to make puppies but it's far more than just doing that to produce good puppies. Of course with proper education it it possible but those that are seem to be far and few between. Then the only ones that suffer are the animals or the buyers who end up with dogs that are not what they expected or want as pets. Breeding is just not taken seriously enough and it can lead to much heartache.
