Im not trying to start something im just trying to state my opponion. i dont come on as much because it seems someone always has something to say about someone raising their pets. i personailly only hope for the best for everyones babies. pregnant or not. once again if i offend u im sorry im really not trying too! |
Vets do not always know what is best for each breed like someone could go in and say can I breed my 4 pound yorkie and they might say yes but the experts in this breed know that is extremely dangerous as well as all the people who have watched it happen. Puppies should not be brought into this world unless the best is done to make sure they are not born with genetic issues and issues like LP where they have to suffer there whole life or have to be put down because of a terrible genetic illness. A good breeder does tests to ensure there puppies have the best start possible and breed to better the breed no to make micro tiny teacups that are extremely sick with eyes bulging out of there head with terrible genetic illness and LP. Good breeders know they are in it to better the breed not just make money off there dogs which most good breeds don't make there money back. Just breeding because someone else some where is going to is wrong period. People who come on here and have bred there dogs and or want to breed there dogs are putting there females life at risk by not knowing what to do and what signs mean they need to be rushed to the vet right away. People think you put a female in heat together with a male and that's it but its so much more then that. Its about making puppies that are healthy and happy and showing care for them. Good breeders try everything they can to ensure that if a pup is no longer wanted by the person that they come back to the breeder even if they are 10 years old. To many people end up breeding and having sick puppies or getting upset because they went ahead and bred there 4 pound dog and it had to have a c-section and wont accept the puppy now and they don't want to take care of the pup even though they are the reason it is here. If you love animals and really care about there well being you would not just slap two dogs together. This post though was about breeding a mixes which is bad because there are so many mixes in the shelters and breeding should only be done to better the breed not make more dogs like are already in shelter. If you really really love and care about dogs you would not want more puppies born with illness that suffer in terrible pain.
