Wow.

I am really astounded that members of the dog world can still have this point of view.

Back Yard Breeding is what it is..
People that don't know enough about their dogs, or their dogs history, or their dogs health.. mating their dogs to others that they have no clue about either.. without thought as to what happens with their puppies in a few years time.

as long as breeding continues in this fashion, people will continue not to value the worth of animals, pet shops will continue to thrive and the pounds will be full.

I had a friend that back yard bred a litter of chi puppies. She thought she had great homes for ALL of them. She ended up stuck with the pups until they were 5 months old, there were many complications throughout the pregnancy. She nearly lost her bitch. The litter ended up costing her over $1500 (AUD) in vet bills. She has now speyed her bitch, and desexed her dog.

Breeding shouldn't be 'casual'.

Do you breed yourself Mike?
