3)"Whats done is done".......this is nothing but a cop out for completely unacceptable behavior from an owner that we would hope would be a RESPONSIBLE pet owner!
Any person that would want to project her image of being a caring, responsible, ethical, honest breeder to the people that come on this forum and read and learn from these posts, that would white wash over the irresponsible action of putting a female in heat outside to be bred by any male that is drawn in by the scent, excusing the action YET AGAIN by chanting that glorified mantra, "what is done is done", is missing the opportunity to TEACH and correct someone that you should NOT be encouraging to just sit back and accept this unwarrented and unjust assault on her female. This is EXACTLY how puppy mills are born!!! You stand there and look at people throwing dogs together, breeding dogs indescriminately with absolutely NO knowledge of genetics, NO knowledge of pedigrees, not even the knowledge how to responsibily care for an intact female, NO health testing, NOTHING, and you project an aura of acceptance!!!!! Nothing has been done in preparation to RESPONSIBLY breed two dogs, and welcome a HEALTHY, genetically sound litter of babies into the world. YOUR answer to the solution is, "what is done is done" so be nice and dont say anything that will actually HELP this person LEARN and help her bitch perhaps survive an ill advised breeding, along with those innocent little babies....NO!!!! I will NOT stand down and accept this as "ooooooooohh, what is done is done" just like I do NOT advocate puppy mills and any other type of abuse to our dogs. Responsible, ETHICAL breeders are here, TRYING to teach people HOW to do this right! This case is NOT a done deal.....she could have the pregnancy terminated, rather than subjecting her dog to the possibility of dying, trying to have these puppies. What if she has a litter where they are all malformed....cleft pallets, hearts and livers and kidneys that are genetically inferior.....WHO is going to get stuck trying to save those babies??? Whos heart is going to be broken because they have fallen in love with a puppy that is doomed to die an early death??? YOU may be able to watch this scene play over and over and over, and YOU may be all sweet and nice and accepting, but I will not advocate or encourage acceptance of unacceptable behavior from ANYONE breeding dogs. If she or anyone else wants to breed dogs, fine....do it right! Learn what needs to be learned, read hundreds of books and attend shows and go to classes on how the breed dogs in order to at the very least, maintain the breed standard....,,LEARN from breeders that are willing to stop you in your tracks and tell you the TRUTH! Get over the "hurt feelings".....dont be cajoled and patted and coddled and enabled and led down a path of destruction as a breeder, listening to "whats done is done".....those words are nothing less than the devils keys to the gates to Hell.....That is what should be painted on a huge sign, that is hung on every puppy mill and on every BYB in this country....acceptance of what is sooooooo wrong is NOT the answer. Any "breeder" that honestly believes that people should not be told the truth, should not be corrected and guided, out of fear that you will "offend" them or "scare" them and drive them away, is not a breeder that is concerned for the direction and future of this or any other breed. This post is going to offend the "kinder, gentler" people that believe, like you do, that anyone can do anything they want to with their own animals, and it should be acceptable to people that KNOW better....that "what is done is done"...let it run its course and smile and make the best of it....cry and weep when your bitch dies or all the babies die, and try to think you did what was best.....but know this....indescriminate breeding of dogs is NOT what is best....not for the person doing it, not for the puppies, not for the bitch, and not for the unsuspecting people you sell those possibly genetically inferior babies to. |
