To me S/N ALL puppies even though they have no symptoms or positive studies is like using a shotgun to kill a pissant. JMO
I am aware that the issues surrounding breeding especially as it relates to Biewers is being discussed far and wide and has been approached in Canada. I a think that we need to stand back and take a look at how every other breed progressed before we make some rash decisions. I would love to hear how the old pro Yorkie breeders developed their lines and if they S/N ALL of their puppies at first.
I just do not understand this line of reasoning... |
In my program, here is what I do with my Yorkies and will do with my Biewers. All the puppies I produce and not keep back for myself will be s/n. Healthy puppies can be carriers as you know.
Others say s/n contract (I believe you said that about your own puppies). I am not willing to risk my pups getting into the wrong hands so instead of a contract (realistically can't be enforced) I s/n my puppies before they leave. So, if you write up a s/n contract doesn't that mean overkill for you too? Maybe we are having a miscommunication but what you said about your Biewer/Parti pups states a contract to s/n is OK but, me ditching the contract and having the s/n done while is my care is not because it's overkill?
