In fact there was a thread made by a breeder about testing.. maybe you could read it and learn some more.. I am not saying this to be mean.. but I think you and some others that do not breed or show.. need to get good advice before you put all the eggs in one basket.. am I upset.. your darn tooten I am..I would invite you into my home and see what I do and how I do it and how my dogs live and what testing is done. and who I would chose to be so lucky to own one of my precious babies.. anne | |

i have heard that dogs LIVE IN THE MOMENT and do not grieve or miss their old owners after a few days.. maybe i am wrong.. it could be that you are worried and passing that fear / anxiety to her.. i think they know how we feel, and they react to us.. she probably loves you so much because you love her so much...... they are so dependent on us.. quite a responsibility..

geez the encomy is slow and i am here to tell you i am a very small breeder/show person and i have champion lines and own a champion and i do not blame this on hobbie breeder's most test and do what they need to do just because you have champion lines at this date and time does not mean you are not a hobby breeder do you show? if not what set's you apart from the rest of the hobby breeder's there is many with champion lines and testing well yeah it need's to be done but has left a sour grape in my mouth times are tough and babies are being born with unsure future's maybe hobby breeder'a and such need to slow down and breed less for awhile and three months old i don't even think about letting my babies go until 3 months old which is 12 week's so what's the hurry if they don't sell have your lines tested as they get older give the public more security in purchasing a puppy make your lines stand out again just because they are champion sired does not mean alot to a wanna be pet owner and it mean's more to the public right now to beable to put gas in there car's than to buy a puppy and have vet bills' this is an election year people things always get wishy washy during this time and to tell ya you will not set yourself apart comming on her as a neebie just to sell pup's there is alot that do that already but anyway welcome to yt | |

testing does not make a person a better breeder.. if there is one puppy in a litter with a disease, the entire breeding program needs to be ended.. those males and females need to be fixed.. no testing needed.. just retire them to be happy pets.. if you want to breed again, then get new healthy puppies.. and wait 2 years for them to grow up... i asked my vet about testing, and she said it was not necessary.. if i see symptoms of illness, then it will be time to test.. and no one is drawing blood from my dogs jugular vein.. this is my definition of responsible.. thanks yt for teaching me from your experiences..

To the OP: Your babies are SO precious!! I am totally and completly in love. I'm not sure what the above conversation is all about, but parents should without a doubt be tested before being bred. Don't wait until a puppy gets sick and dies (and breaks an owner's heart) to do the responsible thing. It really is worth the couple hundred dollars it may cost to have them tested to ensure that there aren't any awful genetic illnesses being passed down the lines. and this is OT: As far as the blood being drawn from the juggular vein, Tucker went in to have a cyst thing looked at, and they took some blood from there. Tucker was perfect, but I passed out lol.

| I no exactly what you are saying....it makes you mad that you have to compete with someone who is just out to make money not caring at all to better the breed, feeding their dogs garbage food with no vitamins or love. It makes you want to stand on the side of the road and say " hey at least look and touch my babies and than if you don't want them I could understand. The pictures I take of my babies make them look like little monsters LOL! Dog lover I am photographer I am not. As far as dogs memories go. I have tried to place older dogs and they are miserable for days, weeks not just hours. I think a puppy might not have a long memory span but I no my older girls sure do. So, I no if I get a dog it is forever and I truely hope and pray that anyone that is lucky enough to get a baby from me feels that same way. |
