[QUOTE=BlumoonYorkies]We reputable established show breeders have worked hard to have healthy lines not just Champions! So protecting them is my number one concern and making sure each and every puppy that leaves here is already spayed/nuetered.
Gigi, that is one thing I have not done in the past, but feel compeled to start. What age do you spay/ neuter? I have a beautiful male going to a pet home. He will be neutered before leaving but he is an older male. Many people who do not show do not understand the time and financial commitment the show breeders go through to establish a healthy line. Finding that one special show puppy in the litter is the icing.
I have no problem selling to a newcomer. But, again, they must be close by so I can attend shows with them, teach them how to wrap coats, etc. I would rather neuter my dogs and place in a loving pet home than take a chance they or their get end up in a puppy mill.
