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. |
AMEN, AMEN!!!! I LOVE your post!
I do NOT know how many times I have personally stated how very much I LOVE my dogs and give them a wonderful home both physically and emtionally.. But if and when there comes a time one of our yorkies does NOT work in our program "THEY DESERVE BETTER!" That does NOT make us a bad breeder, it makes us a loving breeder and one that puts our dogs happiness always first! My dogs are spoiled, given as much attention as possible and always loved! But when they are retired (either because of their size, structure problems, etc.) they deserve a life where they have at least one playmate and a home where they can sleep on the bed every night, go on vacation and always have a loving lap to sit in and NOT have to share it with 3-4 others! Placing one of my yorkies has never been easy, but like I stated if you love them you will give them better!
