No.  No.  No.
 
My "spoiled rotten 7 year old house dog" would not be under anyone else's  
control.
 
No freakin' way.

Thank you to everyone who answered my question.  Here is  the actual 
situation that came up in conversation last week.  Tell me  what you, as a 
breeder 
would do.

During a conversation with a reputable  service dog organization, an owner 
of GSD's was asked if she had any "breeding  stock" from XXX lines.  This 
organization has had positive experiences  with these lines.  Keep in mind, 
GSD's fell by the wayside in favor of  Labs and Goldens.  However, current 
demands are favoring GSD's.  The  owner doesn't consider her girl "breeding 
stock."  

The owner has  a 6.5yr old bitch, still intact. The bitch has had one 
litter from a natural  breeding.  She was an easy whelper and a great mom.  Two 
of her pups  are already working as service dogs.  The bitch is healthy and 
would have  the best private vet care.

Here was the offer.  The organization  would basically lease the bitch and 
breed to a stud dog of their choice.   She would be with them from her next 
season until after the pups were  weaned.  She would be 7yrs old at the time 
of her next season.  The  owner would basically have to give up all control 
as soon as she came into  season.  And, this is a spoiled rotten house dog. 
 

OTOH,  this bitch has already produced pups that have gone on to become 
service  dogs.  Would this be too stressful to the bitch?  

What would  you do?
