Learned enough about breeding Thats right, I've learned enough to know there is no way I could breed Venus!
I actually bought her in August with the thoughts of breeding her with my male.
After reading this breeding section for the last 2 months, and seeing 3 people raising pups and loosing the mama in the past week or 2. I don't know how in the world you all stay awake and feed babies every 2-3 hours. Ok, I never had kids either, lol.
I feel for each of you that lost your girls in childbirth, and right after c-sections. I know that has to hurt bad enough, then staying awake and feeing babies on top.
Adonis loves Venus as much or more than I do. I think he'd be just as happy with her if she was fixed. I know he and I would both be devistated if something happend to her. I doubt seriously if he would even "notice" she can't breed anymore.
She'll be 6 months old in January, and I'll probably have her spayed and him neutured early next year.
Yea, I've kept it pretty quiet about wanting to breed her on this board. I've seen breeders really get upset with folks wanting to breed their girls. So I kept my mouth shut. Now, its out of the closet, but I no longer want to breed.
This section is great. All you breeders are special people too, don't get me wrong. Its takes a very special person to breed. But I know I'm not one of them. You have to be willing to take risks, that I'm not willing to take.
After seeing 3 of you loose your females in the past week or 2....I know I just couldn't risk it. Adonis is just as happy with a great, beautiful playmate! And I'm happy knowing when she passes, it won't be from complications from me breeding her.
Thank you all so much for the breeding section! Its taught me a lot. Actually, its taught me everything I need to know about breeding! |
