Quote"Okay look- whether I need to look up to diff. breeders is a totally diff. story. I will look into that. Point is I did let them go at 6 weeks...The other owners were fine with it and the pups are doing great. I am still in contact with them both. I am not a bad person nor a bad breeder. Yes I don't do this for a living. My babies have always been in my house never outside in a shed like most/some breeders. Joy didn't have a problem with this when she agreed to get the pup. She knew it then why did she even send money if it was such a big deal to her like she is saying. The reason she didn't get the pup at 6 weeks is only because she didn't have all the money then. AND BY THE WAY! I got my baby at 6 weeks. She is perfect in every way. I don't know any one who lets there pups go at 12 weeks unless no one has paid for them. The only ones I have ever heard of is on here.Not that 12 weeks is bad - it is a good idea.. but I did not do 12 weeks I did 6 - lets get over that point. I am not in for the money." unquote
I would like to address a couple things in your statement.
First I would seriously rethink where you get your breeding guidance from if the breeders are letting them go at 6 weeks and the dogs live in a shed. That is not like "most breeders" I have ever dealt with or would ever deal with. These are the breeders that should be turned into the ASPCA.
And if you are not in it for the money then why would you be complaining about a dewormer and second set of shots? I think 900 should cover a 9.00 bottle of wormer divided between a litter.
I have seen a million threads on this forum addressing ethical/unethical breeding practices. I have also seen a LOT of posts on 6 week old puppies suffering from illness and hypoglycemia and the distraught owners posting asking for help. Did you not when you were researching your breeding read any of these threads?
It never ceases to amaze me that people will read something over and over and still do what they want for whatever reason they concoct in their own mind. |
