I'm proud of all of my animals and I"m proud of my new puppies so I don't understand why so many people that own pets make breeders out to sound like we are dirt beneath their feet. How do they think they got their pets? It is upsetting to me.
I do have a love for all animals my kids and I have donated hours days weeks and months fostering and helping at animal shelters. And it's not cheap doing that because when we go to an animal shelter we have to walk in sanitized and walk out sanitized to make sure we bring nothing home to our animals. We had to buy special clothes and shoes to wear there and everything. We also have fostered animals out of our own pockets. That means each animal had to be tested for everything under the sun to make sure it had nothing it could bring to my home. Plus food toys ect. that was all out of our pockets. At this moment right here I am fostering 4 german shepherd mixed breed puppies. Their total care has all been out of my pocket. So yes I breed but I also advocate for unwanted animals as well. If we didn't breed what would happen to all of the purebred animals in the world. |
i have been crtizied by a few people on here for wanting to be a breeder. some sutle and some down right smart mouth but you know what/ Most of the people on here are really nice and helpful and that makes up for the handful that think no one but them ought to be breeders. i am going right ahead with my plans to breed. i am researching all about how to do it and my bloodlines. I have my stud and my gals and when the time is right, I will breed regardless of what people say. it's what I want to do and I am doing all my homework. I'm sure when I have my first litter, I will have forgotten everything I have learned and will be on here reaching out for help and some wonderful person on here will help me. so my advice is to follow your dream.
