Good Heavens! 12 litters a year with 2 adults and 2 teenagers, (who we know only play video games) I am exhausted already. Let's face it Gals. We end up doing all the work. I can't imagine more than 1 or 2 litters a year with taking care of the kids and hubby (k, got rid of him, but still lots of work, lol!) even if I wasn't working full time. Guess I'm not one of the independantly wealthy folks who can hire people while I eat Bonbons and watch Oprah, LOL! For those of you out there that can do that, have fun. I'll look for your brags :-) Laura Thomas www.treasureranchgsds.com -----Original Message----- From: ELG440@xxxxxxx To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 9:01 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Opening a can of worms In a message dated 1/27/2007 8:34:57 A.M.

It should be based on other factors, besides just a number. Here are some of my ideas. A single person working a normal job, no more that two litter a year. A married couple with only one of the parties interested in dogs, no more than four litters a year. A single person, independently rich, who doesn't work, no more than six litters a year. A married couple, (or two partners, for my gay friends) who are independently wealthy, and do nothing other than breed dogs, no more than ten litters a year. A person with a spouse, who is willing to help, but one of them works, (which seems to be the norm), no more than eight litters a year. A family with two or more children over twelve, with everyone willing to help out, no more than twelve litters a year. Everyone else, whatever they want, so long as they have sufficient help to take care of the puppies. We would need to establish a dog police to check this out, but it can be done. We just have to commit to the issue, and be willing to be committed to the institution. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
