This friendly thread, has become a monster. Odie's mom just wanted some suggestions and thoughts. I gave her mine and you gave her yours. Now she needs to make the informed decision as to have him fixed or not. I don't agree with some of your opinions, but that is just my feelings. When I bought my Petey, I looked for months for the "right " dog. I bought him strickly for breeding and I made sure he was the best I could afford. Breeding is not a simple decision.
Even though Odie's mom's parents are breeders, doesn't mean they breed Yorkies. Yorkies are a special breed. They are small and some what fragile. Lets say I bred shepards and since I was a knowledgable breeder, does that mean I should start breeding yorkies.
My point is Odie's mom isn't asking us to make the decision. She is only asking us for some input. What she does after that is her choice. |
