and then decide whether you need to bring another dog into this world.
I'm sure the breeder of those puppies never thought that would happen to the puppies they brought into the world either.
I don't understand the average persons need to breed. If I had a top ranked dog, sure.... MAYBE, MAYBE, I'd breed to better the breed, but still.....
maybe it's just me. I for one am sick of seeing animals euthanized. It's a really soft spot for me right now.

Please, please, please dont..Those people who are willing to take one of your pups..Ask them to adopt one from a shelter.
The chances of your pups being just like mom or dad are slim to nil!
Each dog is a individual.
Wow I am still tearing up!
I remember 2 pups I rescued from a person with a ad on craigs list.
Those pups had nothing but diaper gel in their stomachs. That is all they pooped the first day. Made me ill!
I breed....I also do rescue. I think all breeders or people thinking about breeding should get involved in rescue work..Just to see the kind of crap that happens. Dogs being left behind after a move...Guess who gets a call?? ME! So I take my own personal monies to get them vet checked and have a titer test done to see what they need for immunizations. I test their temperments and take the time to re-home them.
Having pups can be dangerous to moms health. Could even kill her and her pups if something goes wrong.
I hope that the posts on here have opened a blind eye and helped somehow.
