Posted by Fritzi --Previous Message-- Listen here, people, this does not make any sense whatsoever. Depending on the breed, the physical condition and state of health, a dam (female dog, b###h) can be bred every 4-8 months, so can bear between 1 and 3 litters a year, depending... but 2 litters are very possible. But HEY!!! - 11 litters, what are those people talking abt?? - that is physically IMPOSSIBLE! and of course, morally -TOTALLY unacceptable. And if a dam (female dog) has puppies every month (practically) when does she feed and raise them? that takes 6-8 weeks?????? So this survey is "bull". Unless they are talking about breeding SEVERAL dams, are they??? If you have 11 moms, what is wrong with breeding each one, once a year? So that can't be it. And what is wrong, if you do it humanly and without hurting the breeding dams and sires, with having 2 litters per year? - They are well-fed, healthy, happy. They carry approx. 2 months, they raise their litter approx. 2 months and they have 2 months vacation. Heck, that's the life I'd like to lead! And there is nothing dirty about raising puppies to make a living, as I am. Since FOREVER, "MAN" has used ANIMALS, you do agree that dogs are, in fact, ANIMALS, for their own benefit and well being. Saying I could not breed as I am, twice per year would be stupid. It would be like saying a cow should only be bred every SECOND year - it is not economically vyable and does make no sense at all - for a whole year she would not have any milk, and the farmer, no money. Sure, the "fancy" show dog breeders pride themselves with only breeding once a year - they can afford it - their pups sell for thousands And don't start on me by saying "I'm the cause" that so many puppies/dogs are around and thousands have to be euthanised. THAT is in no way, my fault. That blame should be put on the shoulders of agencies that take in those unwanted pets. Instead of whining about their job, they should be EDUCATING unresponsible pet owners who buy a pet and don't make sure they keep that pet. You have a pet, you should do EVERYTHING possible to see it through its life at YOUR HOUSE. It is a MEMBER of YOUR FAMILY - you would not dump your kid(s)!!!!????? Why is it, that those people are even ALLOWED to let their pets go from home. Let THEM be RESPONSIBLE and euthanise that pet THEMSELVES. Oh but...... yeah...... we are humans, so we are allowed?? Not in my book, you're not.

In my opinion, this is not much of a survey! You have no choice - to reply, is to acknowledge that ANY person breeding more than ONE litter, is automatically a puppy miller.
of $$$$. I personally place 98% of my puppy in loving homes, to ordinary people like you and me, at least they can afford to have a puppy at my price, and better quality than those show dog ones any time.
