Michele as you know you are not in the minority, many pet owners that are not knowledgeable about breeding wind up having litters. Some by accident and some on purpose, I am not saying that is right, but it happens day in and day out. I applaud your courage to come on here and start a thread that really brings to lite the what if side of the coin. I honestly think that your truthful heart wrenching first post will make people, that just think their dog is so cute that they want it to have puppies, strongly reconsider. I know that was the purpose of your post, so inspite of what ONE newer member has to say, this tread will serve a very good purpose. I have a ditsy friend that just purchased a very cute malti poo, at 4 months old they are already dreaming about what cute puppies she could have and talked about possibly letting her have a litter. I have just about convinced them not to, but I am going to send them the link to your post because your first hand experience speaks volumes.
I know you have so much going on right now, but I want to thank you for telling your story while it is fresh in your mind. |
