I know this will thread will be another one of those that we will have to agree to disagree on and the discussions by experienced, long-time breeders, novices and pet owners who never bred will go on. Because one person uses a RS and most of us do not, will not change. My vet can handle every problem or situation I have with breeding and I will continue to use them. I guess it depends on how much confidence you have in your vet and your vet has in you to make the right choices before breeding your pet or breed-quality bitch..JMHO |
Very nice and I think this was just the kind of answers Wendy was looking for
I'd love to see no debating for a change or this thread will get locked - the OP of this thread specifically asked for NO Ranting in her first post.
A simple question was asked and she's getting answers from breeders - why not keep this on topic ?
