| how do you breeders decide? i have raised the sweetest baby girl. She is nine months old today and out of all of mine, she is the sweetest, playfulest of them all. We are really attached to her because of her cute little ways. For instance today during outside play time, we had a leash on Ceeby (cause he is wild and we can't catch him). he was running around crazy and she was chasing him trying to catch the leash and when she did catch it, it was the cutest thing. Then another time, she was chasing the pug and got hold of her tail and the pug was trying to get away but she had a firm grip. Then she got in trouble the other day for fighting kandy over food. (first time she ever did anything like this) and after I scolded her, she and Kandy were licking each other and kissing, making up. I am thinking she is not going to work in my breeding program and I probably need to let her go but I just can't. I know others of you have faced this when dogs don't meet your expectations for breeding. How do you do it? How do you decide? Does it bother you a lot to let them go. I cried for days that time I thought I was going to sell Silk and just couldn't go thru with it. But I also realize that I can't and shouldn't keep all these dogs. So how do you do it? |

| I got lucky. I only REALLY got attached to one and stratigically placed him with a friend of my dad's who let's me visit whenever I want. I hope to be able to do the same with our upcoming litter. 3 are already placed (1 w/ me, 1 with a family friend who will let me visit and doggy sit, and one with a co-worker/friend) Don't know hwat i'm going to do when I run out of friends and family. Seriously though, yes, I know it is hard. You just have to bite the bullet and do what you know is best for the dogs. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I'm in the same boat with my cleft baby. How can you not bond after bottle feeding from birth? How could I ever let anyone take care of her? In the breeding world she would be useless to me, but I love her! So at 9 weeks old I feel that I could never let her go. I just want to love and take care of her forever. But this adds to my "zoo". The lady I bought my last Yorkie boy from had like 15 females. 15! All in her house and all slept with her! Then she has 3 males. There might even be more than 15 females because I think I counted more on her website. My husband would dis-own me! |
