It is my understanding that she is not going to do this breeding, finally. She originally told them not this heat cycle because she wants to keep her male focused on rally and getting his advanced title. The bitch's owner seemed okay with that, though it is not what they wanted, and they also had an alternative male lined up, so are proceeding to breed her anyway. We both tried to educate them as to health clearances and such. They plan on taking their girl for her hips and elbows, if nothing more. As for the friends male, no he has not had his heart cleared yet. She plans on doing that when she finally decides to breed to a good bitch.
I can only hope that myself and her one other friend that is a rescue, were able to convince her completely to avoid this bitch. I know she is not interested right now, and doesn't think she will be in the future, but the question remains, if another good looking bitch comes along, will she say no if it does not have clearances. Only God knows the answer to that one. I personally hope she reconsiders the whole breeding thing, but, that's her choice, her stud's reputation, her problem. And, no, she does not believe in being a member of any clubs. Thinks I am crazy for doing so.
