Breeding should only be done after much research and testing and by registered dogs. Please there are too many Yorkies that wind up in rescues as it is. And, your poor Lab, hope she isn't having any more babies..6 litters is more than enough. Just enjoy everything a Yorkie can bring to you life. JMO |
My lab is perfectly fine. I don't breed her, she just ends up pregnant when dogs get into my backyard.
I don't want her to have puppies just because they are cute or because I want some cash. All female beings have a biological desire to breed. I can't just take that away from her by spaying her. I love my baby too much to deprive her of that. Please DO NOT keep asking me to spay her because there is no way I will.
Yes I have read all the benefits of spaying. Yes I know she will live longer. But I rather her be happy than live a longer life sad and altered because YES you ARE altering your dogs not for them but for yourselves. I find that foolish of pet owners. I want my baby to experience the miracle of birth and I know there is always a risk. Women are at risk when they get pregnant (and don't tell me they aren't) but they still give birth not because It's pretty but because they are biologically programmed to want to and because birth i a beautiful thing. I repeat this again, I will NOT deprive my baby of that feeling. I know there are risks and I will take them and take care of her.
As for the "cute" comment. I don't care if her babies come out deformed. I know dogs end up in pounds. That's why I always tell the people I give my lab's puppies away to, "If you cannot keep him/her, return them back to me and I will take care of them until I meet a person who needs/wants one."
I'm doing this for my baby not for me or because it is cute. Once again, I'm not spaying her so don't suggest it again.
Thank you.
