I’m just posting this because a select few seem to not understand how hard this is for us and that’s okay we all have a right to our personal opinions… 

This is our personal opinion… ❤️❤️
We absolutely love all our dogs, but we
certainly aren’t going to force a pregnancy on one of our females that’s not interested in breeding. We watch and let the females take the lead. If a female doesn’t want to breed she’s not going to. You can’t force her unless you plan on preforming artificial insemination.. We feel if they’re not interested, that’s the path we will follow.
REHOMING THE RETIRED..
I see a question pop up about whether or not placing retired breeding animals is ethical. To people who aren’t breeders, it often looks bad or feels “icky”… like breeders are just tossing away dogs once they’ve been used to produce puppies or aren’t interested in breeding. Let me give you a different perspective...
While their lives are comfortable with me, they now get to live an incredibly loved and spoiled life, many times as an only dog with a family that adores them. Different isn’t good or bad, it’s just different. They are content, satisfied, and loved with me; they continue to be ALL of those things with their own families.
The day I let one of my retired dogs go to a family is HARD. I cry when I let them go... I look forward to updates on birthdays, “gotcha” days, and out of the blue every few months. I see how they are loved beyond measure, and I am grateful every day that my “retired” dogs have been blessed into the lives of the people that love them just as much as I ever did. I’m glad it could be one of mine that they love.
Quality breeders don’t rehome retired breeding dogs because it’s easy. We do it in spite of how HARD it is on us because it’s what’s best for THEM.
I know in my heart that I’ll always make the right choice for my dogs and I’m content with the decisions we’ve made . 😊❤️🐶🐾
