Well said Cathy, I had a litter in the spring, and was told by the stud dog
owner and her friend, that I should not be breeding if I could not be home
24/7 with the pups. I am a single mom. I work because I have to. Does that
mean
I cannot enjoy what I love, which is raising, showing and training my
dogs?????? This type of narrow minded thinking is for the birds. No one has
the
right to decide this. My dogs are well loved, well taken care of and get
lots of
attention.

It might mean that you have to put off something for a while.
Wasn't this the smallish litter (maybe of 2?) with all the issues you shared
with 'da list, then the stud dog owner (graciously I thought) took care of
them while you were at work, you took them back, later one died? If it's not,
I apologize.
BUT, what happens when you have to go to leave for work and a wee puppy
doesn't look right? Might not be nursing enough? What happens when you have
to
run to the vet during work hours? Do you take a week off so that you can
watch mom pre and post whelping? Or if she delivers during the day in the
middle of the week does she whelp by herself while you are at work? (Ever see
a
bitch in trouble?)What about when you start weaning the puppies? How do you
fit in many small meals a day when you are at work? What about when they are
being weaned and mom doesn't clean up anymore? Do they have to be dirty
until you come home from work? Or if it's nice by then, are they outside?
What
if it rains unexpectedly and you left them outside? I haven't even thought
of all of the scenarios that a child not feeling good, having homework, after
school activities etc., might present. (And certainly, a child would be the
first priority, since you have to keep your job to care for yourself and
child, that makes employer second and momma dog and puppies a distant third.)
Sorry, don't know who the stud dog owner or friend was, but I'd have to
agree.
