Re: *** looking for bitch ****

Please do NOT. So, you think you have good homes lined up, right? What will happen when thease good homes end up not being able to care for the puppies? Will you be responsible for checking up on your pups? Will you be able to take them back in when the pups become too much for the lives in your good home?
My husband's step-aunt bred her female to her daughter's male. Before the mating happened she had 15 "good homes" lines up for her pups. All, friends and family. Well, the litter had 7 pups. Everything whent off without a problem. Zelda delivered with ease and was an excellent mother. The "breeder" put in a great effort and my Asee is a great dog. Everything sounds great doesn't it. Real easy money, right? No, here is where it goes south. Of the 15 "good homes" only a few honoured their "commitment." The other pups were then sold off to strangers, with one given to me at 4 months old. Now, the "breeder's" son can no longer take care of his girl and she when back. One of the pups has since died of parvo (not enough money for vaccinations , one was suspected of having ovarian cancer, but yet again not enough money to to run tests, and these are the ones that I know about. Three of the seven have suffered from the lack of commitment by their owners.
What I am going to write may be rude and a cruel generalization. For the most part (there are exceptions to this) people that buy unproven dogs of uncertian health history from BYB are unable the handle the routine care and expences of the pups. These pups will not live out their home as a treausered member of a loving family. They will end up with a bozo. Many of the pups you think you have a good home for will end up a danger to those around then from lack of knowledgable upbrining, medical care and socialization and just plain ignorance. Those who truely want to provide a good home to puppies will NOT WANT your pups. They will research breeders and find a code of ethics breeder, and it will not be you.
Please do not continue looking for a bitch to breed with. Nothing good will come out of it.
Sorry for my bluntness, but some times thing do not need to be sugar coated
