I am really sad today.
I have made a decision to place Daisy. I don't know if many of you are aware, but I have decided to start breeding and have been doing loads of research and working with a mentor. Well, Daisy does not fit into my breeding program. Although I had papers on her I don't believe that she was full bred. She was definately not breed quality. I thought about keeping her as a pet, but I just don't have the room to keep babies that won't fit into the program. She was already 7.2 lbs at 5 months. I have placed her with my brother and sil who have a JRT. They love him tremendously so I know that Daisy will be spoiled rotten. I'm just having a hard time with the decision right now because my kids were in love with her and she was a good size for them. I never had to worry about them playing with her. She had started following me around the house and sleeping at my feet and such.. She was becoming attached. I know that as a breeder I will have to face placing many babies once they no longer fit my program, but I sure hope it gets easier. Any advice from you breeders out there would be great.. Did I do an awful thing???
