When you breed your female, you need to ask yourself, is this female soooo good that I want to risk HER life to try to get babies from her that may or may not be any where as good as she is? And you have to have the money to back it up, in case she does get into trouble.....or the babies need intensive care....you are looking at anywhere from $3000.00 up to probably close to $8000.00, depending how sick everyone, and how aggressive you are trying to save them. |
Thank you Yorkiemom1. I appreciate you taking the time to give your input.......For my friend money has never been an issue, she is very well off financially and would not have a problem spending it on her babies.The financial issue didn't seemed to be a problem but reading her the information so far HAS made her decide to do a little more research. Again she isn't computer savy so she is going to the library to get books on the ins and outs of breeding, as well as talk with the breeder she purchased her boy from. Has she changed her mind completely??? Honestly, I can't say she has, but reading some of these situations that could possibly happen to her babies kind of freaked her out. She was shocked to see so many things that could go wrong, but she has actually witnessed her mom's poodle giving birth without any issues so I gather that being the reason she feels somewhat capable of handling it. I will try and keep everyone posted on what her future plans will be. If I continue to get input, I will continue to pass it on to her. Thank you again for your time.
