[QUOTE=BabyFidgette]This is a serious question: How can a breeders lines get messed up? If a person buys a puppy and doesn't breed it the line stops. So what's the difference if a person wants to breed their puppy?
I for one think it should be up to the owner if they want to breed their dog or not.
I don't have a lot of puppies, maybe 2 litters per year. So, I am always looking for that special show pup. When I sell a puppy for a pet, I am selling as a pet for a reason. Perhaps the bite is off, soft coat texture, too small or large. I put in my contracts WHY the pup is being sold as a pet. If I thought the dog was worthy of reproducing, I would have kept it for myself. I have always sold on limited registration and spay neuter contracts, but am thinking more of the line of spaying everything before it leaves my home. Then, there is no interpretation for error.
