Ed...you know that I love you but I have to disagree 100% with your thinking on this one. If you cannot be responsible for one of your babies should it be in trouble and will do nothing to help it...then you should not be breeding dogs. This is nothing against you......this is just the way that I feel about anyone who breeds dogs. These puppies do not ask to be brought into this world...it is your responsibility to know that they are safe until their lives are over!!!!!
