i’ve watched that video so many times today (i got shown it last night on antoher forum – thats what made me join this forum to try to convince people against breeding their pets) i find it so sad that so many people are still breeding. soem shelters put down 50-100 animals EVERYDAY because so many are coming in.
imagine contributign to that. disgusting.
before a coupld of years ago i was none the wiser either.
i will never buy from another BYB or pet shop. i will; never support a mill.
nearly all my dogs will be shelter dogs unless i decided to breed REPUTEBLY one day. that will mean a dog with titles in herding, obediance, agility and flyball. it willmean health tests. it will mean a good representation of the breed and it will mean CAREFULLY selected homes that i know will give the puppy a long happy life. it means that i will keep an eye on those puppies for their whole lives. it means 1 litter a year. it means not making profit. it means stable represtations of the breed being born.
a few questions.
why do you want to breed?
what health tests have your dogs been subject to?
what titles have they won? showing? obediance? agility? etc
how do you plan on screenign the homes?
what contracts will you provide with the pups?
i would also suggest classes. learn about the 2o2o method, contacts, channel weaves and slanted weaves. proper body language to send to your dog etc
responsible breeder rarley make money from breeding. if you only want to breed to make money, its not right. you have to ask yourself how much youknwo about the breed? what health tests you plan on doing? what titles have the cats got? have you got interest in the litters?
okay, i’ve gotta say it.
if you don’t even know if both poms are pure you should NOT be breeding. what health tests have you done? how will you ensure that your pups go to a good home? they should leave no earlier than 8 weeks. have the dogs been shown? what titles do they have?
why did you breed?
