It breaks my heart, but we don't have a big enough home to support a ton of dogs. My dogs probably get more love than alot of yours. I stay home all day with them, and don't leave them home alone all day and only care about them the couple hours I'm home in the evening. This is very hard for me and don't need to be critisized |
If your husband says that the only way you can have a dog is if she makes money, then you should just get fish. If you care about yorkies, that's what I think you should do. IMO that's a bad reason to become a breeder. You have already been irresponsible (your words) for passing on bad genetics by breeding her. Many breeders keep a dog even if she's not of breeding quality and just get her fixed. If you love her so much, then why are you pushing her out the door after she's given you such a gift? It's already hard enough to find a GOOD loving home for an older dog. Are you going to even get her fixed or is she going to end up being the next person's cash cow? I am sorry, but I think that is a funny way to show how much a person loves dogs. IMO if you don't have enough time or "home" to support dogs, then I don't think you should be a breeder. I am sorry if I seem a little bit mean. But just read this thread.

I just think of your poor little girl the same way...
