It does sound like from what Lorraine said that some breeding bitches and/or show dogs - couldn't tell for sure which - don't always have forever homes once the breeder or show person is done with them and the little breeding females are sold. Have you also found that to be true? |
Yup. for some.The females run around the house like the rest. But here's what I've learned. Start with pup. Show pup get your Championship...if your a bitch. you breed ~3-4 yrs...Have 1-2 maybe more litters if the pups are coming out good. ~6yrs if you can sell cheap to a good person who's looking for an older dog. They will get rid of the older Bitches ..to make room. But never unless the person is a good person who will love there dog.. From what they can tell about that person.they would keep the dog before just getting rid of them. But they like to show so they need to make room. If you have a Dog... you can always stud them and make $$ so they usually get to stay. But IME most keep the females unless the male is outstanding. JME which isn't very much..or alot of time into it.
