when it comes to this darn right it's my way or no way

you can't half spay a dog... you can't half prevent your dog from getting pregnant or getting someone elses dog pregnant

you either spay/neuter or you don't
not doing so is irresponsible

mine didn't either

go figure

I admit I was a tad tempted to leave a neg rep. However you will know if I do because I sign everything neg or not.
If you're 'brave' enough to have an opinion then be brave enough to sign it.

That said,I will ask again, have an appointment to get this girl fixed after the pups are weaned yet?

I also was strongly tempted to neg rep, but I figured ignorance is correctable, vs. an intentional breeding.

I agree that it was extremely irresponsible to allow this to happen; having two intact animals in a household is asking for babies. And because these have been born, they will take away homes that could have gone to other puppies more in need of help. I'm hoping the OP will spay and neuter both parents to prevent another mistake. I too work in rescue, and it's something I'm passionate about. Every litter born is a death sentence to those animals who are already in existance; people just don't realize that enough.

At least these ones are small enough to find homes...unlike the guy I took a call from last week who wanted somewhere to dump his 6 lab puppies and both parents, after he'd only been able to sell 4 puppies and figured out he wasn't going to make any money doing it. *headdesk* Our city shelter kills a thousand animals a month, thanks to people like that.

Very true Jess. Small dogs are gone fast, sad thing is too many intentionally breed them and then ask $$$$$.
Get a large breed puppy and it will sit until it dies of old age.
However it's not just people that are to blame, if you rent 95% of rental houses and apartments have a weight limit of 30lbs or under. People just CAN'T have large dogs in many places. Not to mention the astronomical fees these places charge as 'pet deposits' (my building recently went from 300 per pet to 400!!). And last but not least the laws in many places...grr.
Sorry, stepping away from the soapbox.

Did you even read the thread?

James you do keep avoiding my question about getting your female spayed.

Im just wondering, with all the anti-breeding propaganda in this thread, are you guys against breeding ball pythons and reptiles too?

You don't see ball pythons getting gassed like dogs and cats.

there is a big difference between breeding some reptiles and dogs or cats

most reptiles (aside from burms, iggies, ect) will be taken in by herpers if offered up for adoption in a heart beat

that can't be said about cats and dogs
