Hi Ladies
Very well thought out. However,8 litters per year will be tough on many top
breeders. With co ownerships and so few people left in the breed, exceeding 8
breedings per year would exclude some of our best. I can think of many
breeders who exceed 8 AND they take great care of their dogs and carefully
place puppies into good homes.
I think your ideas are wonderful, but the 8 litters is too harsh. Names of
current,careful, and considerate breeders are coming to mind who should not be
harmed by such restrictive language.
These are not commercial breeders.
