Question about retiring a breeding dog I just have a question. The person who I got Louis from, sold Louis' mom for $1200.00 with full breeding rights to the new owner. I understand that sometimes breeders have to sell their adult dogs, but why would they sell them and then continue to let someone else breed them. I am by no means a breeder, so I was just wondering if this is something that breeders do. It seems to me she should of had her spayed and then sold her. |

Agreed. This is just beyond disgusting in my way of thinking. There was one discussed recently in another thread that still has me heartbroken for the poor baby. He has been passed from kennel to kennel for breeding purposes. I have reason to believe he is now living in a cage in someone's garage. :( One of his original breeders said she thinks it is ok to "share". Sorry, but I don't see this as sharing, but as exploitation. Do people like this even think about the feelings of these pups? Have they ever seen one pine for his owner who has left him? Or, would they even care? I guess in the world of ugly breeding (not all breeding is ugly), all that matters is how much you can make so that you can buy breast implants, nice cars, RVs and other material things. I have to believe that these people will one day pay for having abused these poor little defenseless gifts from God. |

Well... I can't see the whole thing so black and white like dog owners are good people and breeders are bad people. Where should all those cute little puppies we all love so much come from? Just a few bitches are good enough to be bred. I know a breeder fairly good and she breeds with responsibility and tons of knowledge. So sometimes dogs, cats, horses, guinnee pigs, rabbits, turtles, ferrets, etc. etc. are a commercial thing what does not always mean that they are mistreated or neglected. Sure there are some black sheep out there which bring the whole breeder community down but luckily they are the minority and we only hear about them more often than about the good ones that work their lovely behinds off day for day to provide us with cuddly little furballs. |

Living off the backs of these poor lil creatures is animal abuse. Commercial breeding is in my book the worst, they have no concern of health, welfare or improving anything they are breeding, just breed them to make money. Let me add, Ladyjane sees the end product of irresponsible breeding everyday.....picking up dogs from shelters, housing them, running them to the vet...... I think every pet owner, breeder should walk in the shoes of a rescue person for just one day..... |
That is terribly sad :( |
retired breeder in april i bought disney from anderson yorkies. she is a retired breeder. i paid $200 for her, she was not spayed nor had she had dental work done. i had to have it done at my vet, but i wouldn't have wanted to wait to get her. i am so glad to have taken her to my vet as she had complications and while it wasn't cheap she is my baby now:) however, i do think 1200 is a bit much if you are retiring a breeding baby, but that is jmo |

Personally I would not sell one of my females like that but there are breeders out there that do that. For many breeders it is just a business, whether they are producing pups just to sell or breeding dogs for show. Some breeders may keep a puppy or so from one or two litters and then sell or lease the female to someone else for a puppy back from a different bloodline. I would think that reputable breeders that do this would only do it with people they completely trust to do the right thing with the female. |
