If this puppy or its littermates are out of rescued dogs, I can't imagine the mentality that went into allowing the rescue girl to breed. Weren't you the least bit worried about what she'd been through and if inside - gynecologically or psychologically - she might be a mess and unfit for breeding? And no vet can know for sure about uterine fatigue or occult prolapsed uterus, etc., without further examination and testing or whether or not a dog was physically/psychologically abused. I didn't think people would ever breed a female they didn't know the full history of from her previous owner.

How is it that your only thoughts weren't for giving her a lifestyle of human-to-dog payback for being discarded by her previous owner plus whatever else she might have been forced to deal with in life? She could have been starved, beaten or scared spitless all her life and if that were true, you couldn't have known that and yet still you chanced breeding her! Why weren't your very first million or so concerns for her past, how best to rehabilitate, rest and lavish her with only the best life has to offer a rescue dog? It's beyond understanding how she was summarily bred for what she could do for you and how much $$$ to charge for her puppies?

And, please, nobody wants to stone you, just to see you honestly change your thinking about this entire subject of breeding and start massive changes. Understanding others' attitudes and concerns for the dogs doesn't seem to be anywhere in your wheelhouse and your often belligerent responses to other members, despite saying you are sorry, doesn't auger well for real changes having really taken place.
