Jazzy I understand what you are saying but honestly I think she should find the dog a home rather than breed a dog thats not to the standard and produce pups that are not to the standard. If it were me I would not have bred her in the first place. As a small breeder it is hard to place dogs that you have for a time. Thats the worst part in my opinion about being a breeder because I do love them all. However I have found that dogs that I have retired or not used for breeding ( staying to small) to very well in new homes. I keep in touch and get pictures of them and they are spoiled rotten and very loved. Some work in nursing homes and hospitals. 1 man spoke in a nursing home for the 1st time in 5 yrs and asked if he could hold that dog? I know that some breeders just throw the dogs out when they are no longer of use and that is very sad. The reality is that some of us breeders can't keep all of our dogs, and I don't feel it's far to have so many dogs that they don;t get 1 on 1 attention. I just had one of my dogs that I retired come for a visit to my home. She remembered me but Julie was her new mom now and was that. It kind of hurt my feelings to be honest , but am very happy for her. I have not had 1 person tell me this dog is not adjusting here! If that ever happened I would take the dog back in a heart beat and that is made VERY clear from the start. Breeding dogs is not for everyone and if you are in it just for the $$ shame on you and good luck becasue you don't make a lot. I do feel that this dog should be spayed before finding a new home. You might disagree with me as well , but just had to state my experiences with placing dogs. Happy Holidays to all |
