However, after her litter is born we plan to have her spayed).
It's breeders like you, and supportive people around you that allow everyone else to have the puppies they love.
I wish everyone could be as supportive as the people who responded to this thread when breeders have to make a tough decision. It is never easy to get rid of something you love, and everybody giving you a bad time makes it worse.
Good luck. |
Anna you are so right. We need more support for eachother. We all don't have to follow the same protocol but at least respect one another and support eachother for the most part. There are things I will not support but those are the obvious, lying cheating and stealing in the world of breeding. Accidents happen all the time.
Placing Liberty is a tough decision. She is so narrow in the pelvis area, even if she were 5 pounds now, she's just too narrow for my preference.
Even though the decision is a sad one, this is a positive post. Something I LOVE to see myself!!
