Default Both Sides

When you cross over and become a breeder the decisions are so challenging. You look at your litter and know that you cannot keep them all because that is rediculous and then you become a horder and thats a whole new dimension. I look back at the decisions I have made to remove a dog for what ever reason I always made sure that I found the best home. I do understand your reason that they were used as a service and you feel maybe well now you are not good enough. May be with some however ,there are many who loving put them up for adoption. That is when I cry the most is the adoption time. However, when I get the letters that one is a hospice animal staying with those as they cross over it brings tears to my eyes. The woman who adopted her felt that she could do this and she is with them from the moment they enter hospice until they cross over. They pet her and love her and she loves them. We are not cold and hard people we cry and say no keep the animal but when they go we know the homes are the best. I miss them dearly yes they are parts of me but not everything is meant to be kept. By giving you get. I gave and now she is touching the lives of many. It is a hard call but one that is necessary when you are striving towards your committment to the breed. When I say adoption that is what I mean the animal is fixed and for me I don't charge anything. My feelings if I am removing it from my breeding then I don't want her to breed I am committed to making sure that does not happen so on my end I make sure that is done.
