| Rehoming Champions?? Just curious... What is the criteria for rehoming your champion males and females?? Is it most ethical for the breeder to spay/neuter before placing them? Would you allow your champion males and females to go to a breeder you trust or would you only place them in pet homes? |

| Curious how long you think a male should be used as a stud. Also, what age do you rehome??

So we liked the name Jersey and these books are set in New Jersey, and we always have a color in our dog's name (so we used Plum from the books and Blu because he is blue, our last name means The Valley and we live in a valley, and he was always meant to be a stud dog, so his registered name is: LaVail's Plum Blu Jersey Casanova. But we call him Jersey Boy because he is such a gentle sweet little guy! Thanks for asking. I'll bet there could be a whole thread on why we select the names we do.

| I think that if you have found a mentor and you both can trust each other, then placing a champion would be ok as long as they were not over bred, all puppies were to be sold on spay/neuter/limited and I would have a stipulation of how many litters a female could produce(probabley 1 or 2 litters tops). No outside stud service would be allowed and the champions would be co-owned. |

| I had heard that once someone has gone to all that work to get the championship points, that they don't like to see that line end or to lose control of it. How is that handled?

| I can not ever imagine placing a champion into someone else's home for breeding. Actually once I bred any of my dogs I would not place them with someone else. I guess usually the big reason for placing a dog before its time to stop breeding would be because it is not producing what I wanted, and therefore it would be spayed/neutered anyways. We have placed a couple retired girls, they were spayed/teeth cleaned before leaving and were never sold for more than the cost of those procedures. However the last one we gave to a lady who has 3 puppies from us, one being the littermate to the one we retired. She too was spayed before she left. I just feel like it is the best thing you can do for your dog...have them fixed and a great loving home.

| It seems like an awful lot of work to raise a champion so I could not imagine just placing him elsewhere but for the sake of arguement, say for some reason not related to his health. Ie, you no longer have a male/female to breed him/her with or you just need to scale back your breeding program or just need to scale down your number of dogs, I guess I would consider it as long as I knew the person and really trusted them. But otherwise, I agree, spay/neuter would be the wisest decision. |

| rehoming I have rehomed most of my retired Yorkies..I like the idea of them having the best of everything...and common sense tells me a breeder with 10,15, 20 retired Yorkies can not do the best by them...the dental alone will bankrupt you..but even with a fat bank account, time to love them all and give them one on one is limited. Most often I give the dog free of charge to people I know...I, for the life of me can not charge for a companion I have known some for a few years..puppies and young adults are different, but that is just my odd way of thinking..but I understand charging. My retired champions and non-champions all did well..I never had anyone ask me to take one back..they adjusted and my Chopper lived until 16 1/2 yrs when he died last yr..he used to come visit me, sit on my lap and give me lots of kisses, but when his mother got up to leave, he was ready to go...and that made me happy to know he was so content... I had a Japanese breeder ask me to buy a retired champion male I had..but I could not do it...my excuse was that my dog did not understand the language and would never hear the words.."I love you again".....breeder wrote me off as a nut case. |
