Another thing to consider when placing pups is the impact on Mom. My mothers seem to be ready to let go at about 12 weeks. The pups are starting to get independent and Mom could use a break. Before that time the moms are attached to them and I think it causes them distress to have their babies go before THEY"RE ready to see them go. I think it's easier on them, also, if the pups trickle out over a little time rather than having them all gone quickly, as can be the case if the new owners have placed deposits and are all waiting. I guess it could be different for others, but it's just one of the things I consider and have found it seems to make a smooth transition for the pups and for Mom. :aimeeyork :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa :)

I live in NC.

I absolutely think it's the economy AND the fact that you have so many "hobby breeders" and byb's nowadays that the competition is just to much!

I'm sorry to hear you are so negatively affected. I'm actually surprised you have any puppies left!!

Do you have a website? Photos? I'd love to see them!
Where in NC do you live? I live in Hendersonville.:)

I stand by the new owners and I stand by the puppies I sell... there is not one thing wrong with a hobby breeder..I would be willing to take anyone one with this.. and so would many others that hobby breed..a hobby breeder can breed with as much into it as a show breeder.. I can list more show breeders that have done things they would not ever let anyone know.. I have seen it.. hung around it.. and I have not a lot of faith in some..and I am not talking all.. but they show dogs in some shows that if I bred that same dog, I would be shunned.. so if you are not really involved in the show world and have not been taken by show people then I think one needs to walk the walk before they do the talk..
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..

Agreed! I take very special care of my mom and her litters and especially when it comes to screening future homes. I am a hobby breeder. I would like to branch out into other areas in the future but until then having a litter a year is enough for me.

They are treating these babies like livestock for goodness sake.
I don't understand. How can you breed breed breed and part with all those puppies. They are part of your family and you complain when you can't place them. They all need a loving home even if it is Yours. That is a risk you take. You may end up with them as adult dogs if no one wants to buy them.

Wow
 
lol you tell it like it is, That is true all of us are suffering right now not just the show breeders but all breeder not just breeders for that matter, its an election year folks come on how many of us are under 18 in this form? Its always bad at election time, besides sometimes you just have to lower your prices or keep the puppies, :thumbup: I think we all hope and pray that it gets better, I do wish you luck on selling them but everyone I talk to has pups right now.

Sadiemylady..with all due respect, you have no clue what you are talking about.
The breeders home is rarely the BEST home for the puppy...it is a GOOD hoem, but not the best...think about it.

i wanted to keep gus gus , but i think he will be happier where he can get more attention.. keeping the numbers down is best for the dogs so they can get more individual attention..:aimeeyork

Of course, that is best for the dog and that is what a good breeder puts first.

breeder
 
I to agree to an exstint and have placed may of my adulds in forever homes if they can no longer breed free, I just gave two maltese away to a wonderful lady because It was just too much on me, I paid for them as a pair but Just wanted the best for them so I lost money but That is how breeding is, sometimes you get ahead and sometimes you don't, No matter what my dogs well being comes before anything and I do mean anything! If you are in it for the$$ your in it for the wrong reason, A breeder rarely makes more than they send out at least I don't, But I am always willing to do wha it takes to place my pups in forever homes because I am willing at anytime to take them back, I do not want my babies to end up in a rescue somewhere or worse in a shelter. But thats just me guess thats why I'm not rich. lol.Have great weekend everyone Denise:):p

Maybe you just havent met the right people yet!! Please dont lump all of us breeder/exhibitors into the same broad statement you made. I have been there done that with being snubbed and hurt feelings. But I have also met the most wonderful, helpful people. Sometimes you just have to have rhino hide to be envolved in showing!!LOL Just remember that these breeder/exhibitors are not just going to roll the red carpet out for you. You need to earn their trust first before you will find a mentor. I think that buying a show potential puppy from a reputable breeder/exhibitor and showing it is a great way to learn and have a wonderful dog to that you can improve your lines with. There is nothing wrong with that and its alot of fun!! And by the way, most of the breeder/exhibitors were not born with a silver spoon either.
