What about my posts make no sense??? Are you acquainted with such things as angulation, layback of shoulder, reach and drive? If the only acceptable reason for breeding is to improve upon the breed or to improve upon one's own dogs, these things cannot be evalutated until AT LEAST 10 weeks of age.
And no, ethical breeders do not put puppies to sleep. THEY SELL THEM ON A SPAY/NEUTER BASIS, WITH LIMITED REGISTRATION. Are you familiar with limited registration? A great invention the AKC finally designed.
Since I have nothing better to do, I am going to try perusing the code of ethics of the various breed clubs, just for my own edification.

Manchester ... yes, I was a member of the National Golden Retriever Club and our local White River Golden Retriever Club....(I'm still a member there ) while breeding. I followed everything to a " T " during my breeding years. I did not personally show as I wanted " companion" dogs .... not hyper for field work, no puffed and fluffed for show, and though all my dogs went through obedience , they were too layed back for obedience....too slow, would lay down and wait for me if I said " stay " etc. My Bushwacker went with the stud's owner to a speciality show and won best of show in the puppy class ... I have the Blue ribbon and silver cup, but the disposition of my pups and their smarts were #1 with me. There were championship lines with all of them, not from me put in their pedigree. My purpose in breeding ( selectively ) was go produce wonderful pups for wonderful families. I still get calls, 10 years after the fact, where they can find another Golden like they had. If you want any predigrees or info, I can go back 50 years.

Is one word. Don't know where you get M C from. It is NOT Man Chesters. And actually I have Toy Manchester Terriers. TMT would be correct. If anyone is interested in correctness, rofl.
Oh.....and age of accountability refers to the age at which an individual is legally able to answer for his/her own sins. Not that WE have any sins to account for, roflmbo.

Nice To Get To Know Ya
Finally!!!!! Anybody on these forums can claim to be breeders, and the majority of those who DO produce puppies are just back yard breeders who sell their pups to pet shops, or at flea markets, etc.
You of all, should understand my skepticism (and add extra points for being able to spell it, roflmao.)
We gain respect thru what we do via our dogs. I don't give a flip if someone has any respect for me or my opinons.......but by golly when it comes to breeding, there are none any better than I!!!!!! I improved greatly upon the variety to which I was/am addicted. That is the whole purpose for breeding dogs!!!

Personally (And this is JMO) I agree with Manchesters about puppies leaving at 10-12 weeks. It gives the breeder a better chance to evaluate the structure of each individual puppy, and decide which should be placed with limited registration on spay/neuter contracts, and which should be considered for show homes (And for the breeder to keep.)
