I agree, discussions are good..but judgmental indictments are always
hurtful. Personal opinions sometimes do more harm than good and are not always
a
good teaching or learning tool. Blanket statements about how many litters are
acceptable just invite problems, and hurt feelings. It doesn't matter how many
litters a particular person feels is "OK", it is neither right or wrong, it is
an individual matter. Every veterinarian I have ever spoken to says it is
more stressful to not breed, than to breed. This is interesting, but most
people do not believe it, being very anthropomorphic. I find it really
interesting
in the horse world. Some of those old mares are bearing foal after foal,
some every year, well into their 30's. Some mares are discontinued being brood
mares, and die! There are theories that the pregnancy state produces "youth"
hormones, that keep these mares younger than their actual age. It is very
interesting, and has nothing to do with dogs, LOL, but speaks to the subject
of
multiple pregnancies in a fascinating way. Shalom

No Syd, the whole point of this list is to discuss these things. By putting
our opinions out on this list, other have a chance to see other views. It
has changed my mind. No more strict 3 litter limit for me. I will do what is
best for me and any bitch I have as far as that goes. The one I have now
may never be bred again, once was enough FOR ME. She would likely enjoy doing
it o'natural, and then getting another c-section, but I don't think I can
take the stress it put on my family and on my kids' grades. So maybe the next
bitch, if there is a next one, I will not predict my future here.
This is such a great place to discuss our opinions of what is best. And it
gives all the many newer people a chance to listen to more experienced people
argue, gently I hope, about what is best. Thus allowing these newer people
to formulate decisions based on as much information as possible.
I think there is more truth here than in any other venue of this breed.
Most of the rest of what I "learn" is hearsay. But here, everyone tells it
like
THEY see it. I don't have to agree with them. Nor do you.
A lot of what I read I discount. Some of it I just can't believe. And some
of it is just too much trouble for me to want to bother.
But I can get help, support, and critisism here and not feel directly
attacked, much. And I can say what I really feel, which will be mostly
forgotten
when we all meet at a show.
Now, let's all give ourselves a hug!!!!!

Well, good grief... the bitch is 10 years old. It isn't like they were born
all at once. Seven litters isn't necessarily even every heat, depending on
often she comes in.
I agree....10 years old...almost 20 heat cycles. Seven litters is not
excessive. We need to mind our own businesses. Syd
