what's sad is that you'd rather preach and judge, than offer constructive information
ok, I was pulling for you dujac. I was really hoping that the thread would offer help and you would get all of your answers for a success story and happy, healthy pups. I was even willing to go with the thought that this was a one time thing and you would be careful. I am an ever optimist and always look for the bright side. However, the reality is, the people HAVE been offering constructive information. They may have offered it in a different way than you wanted to hear. And some of the comments may not have been needed, I agree. However, a good idea is a good idea, no matter what. The truth of the matter is, you don't WANT to hear. I have never bred before nor do I ever plan to due to the amount of responsibility it requires and the amount of money that goes with it. I have researched breeding only this week because of this thread and have come to realize that with just a weeks worth of looking, you are seriously missing key elements. I don't know what you are calling research, but asking a couple of questions here and there, watching a birthing video or two, and finding a stud do NOT qualify. According to AKC, you have not done your due diligence either. I simply looked up their requirements and you have missed some key components. The testing is not just a suggestion. I love my dog dearly. She gets the best of everything, and I paid out of pocket to get things checked out by a specialist. I drove to another city also just to get a second opinion and then have surgery to correct a problem. And she is simply a companion pet. Yes, you have bred your dog, you are a breeder. It may be a one time thing, but you are. If you have 1 child or 15, you are still a mother. Now, the people on this sight have bent over backwards to help and because you didn't get want you were seeking, you are now throwing a tantrum. Grow up!!!!! I don't take my car to a mechanic asking why it makes a funny noise, than call him a dictating, judgmental fascist because I think it's something else. Some of these people ARE REAL breeders, or vet techs, and have poured themselves into the care of their fur babies. Constructive information was offered, you just don't like it. So, do us all a favor and stop your tantrum. Either go back and reread all of the helpful info, or don't. But quit attacking us!!!!!! I swear, for a 53 year old, you act like a 7yr old know it all that just wants to argue.
And thanks a lot Smart, that song is stuck in my head now.
now can this thread just die already?? and yes bones, muffin talk sounds great
