I actually have 3 children

(16, 14 and 5 years old) Was it hard on me? Yes.Pregnancy is! But our bodies are made to do it and made to handle it, that is just the way it is.Females (of all species) breed and procreate and whilst there are
always risks, its what we are designed to do and itīs how we keep the world populated.
How do you know I did not look at both sides of breeding? You are seriously implying that I do not care for my dog? Milo and Bella are my 5th and 6th yorkies and I have been researching breeding for over 8 years (with a mentor), and the reason I didnt do it before is because I didnt feel that I was ready and because I wanted a the perfect female to do so.Bella was that female.Bellas pups are also going to be staying at home with me.
As usual, you (in general) are asuming
I used a stud that my mentor allowed me to use (free of charge, nothing in return) and although my vet had no idea why she needed it, Bella was tested for a long list of things that I felt was neccesary for my own peace of mind.
Again, you are asuming I did none of the above..this is a mistake made from 90% of the people on this forum.The asumptions.You donīt ask questions, but you
are all very quick to judge or roll your eyes and whisper "idiot".
Instead of lashing out with a "I SURE HOPE YOU WILL SPAY YOUR DOG!!" or "Oh no..I am sick of seeing posts like this!", maybe a few questions to get to know the person would be nice...and if the dog is already pregnant, why not just awnser the questions instead of patronising the member to the point where she leaves and never gets the info she may very well need.
Nagging doesnt get people to listen to what you have to say, because once you offend someone, the walls come up and your words go in one ear and out the other.
People who come in here for information do so because they
DO care for their dogs.They could just put two dogs together and not give a toss about what happens next, but the majority donīt..they care enough to ask and gather information, even if the breeding has already taken place, and they come here thinking that this is the perfect place for that.
They are looking for advice because they want to do the best possible job they can weather that be at feeding, breeding or just being a regular pet owner.So please stop asuming that when someone comes in here asking about breeding their dog for the first time, that they are lame pet owners who do not care about what happens to their dog and that they donīt care about the breed.
I asure you that you wont find puppymillers on here asking questions about breeding, so why treat everyone as if they are? Yes, itīs always about the dogs, that is why people come
here.
