No no, I didn't mean declawing(that's not really feasible with a dog anyway). I just meant removing the dewclaws so they didn't cause problems in the dogs later in life(getting snagged on stuff and getting ripped out, owners forgetting to clip those nails and the nail grows into the dog's leg, etc). The majority of dog breeders do take the puppies to the vet around day 2-3 and get all of this done and to also get them checked over for cleft palates, etc.

About the spaying, if you don't plan on breeding her again, and she goes into heat, she could end up with an infection in her uterus called pyometra. The only way to get rid of it is to spay her anyway. Not to mention all of the other problems that can come about from not spaying a dog. I once helped in a case involving a 12 year old intact female Cocker Spaniel who had massive mammary tumors running the length of her belly(softball size), she also had ovarian cysts that were quite large and ready to rupture when we went to spay her.

I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just trying to make you aware of the things that can happen with keeping dogs intact. They are nice puppies and I hope you find good homes for them.

Ok..Ok..I expected to hear a lil heat about adopting shelter dogs. But I bred my female b.c I (along with my family members) wanted HER offspring. WE choose the best male to produce what qualities WE want in a dog.

Excuse me if I didn't take the time to correctly read the post about declawing..I would NEVER declaw a dog...and didn't even think it was even done. However I didn't want to disrespect the person that had posted it by saying so!! I understand now he was not talking about declawing...I should have took more time to read it..

But saying I am a "backyard breeder" implies that I have produced a "less then worthy" (for lack of better words at this moment)dog. I take much offense to this!!! Both these dogs have PURPLE RIBBON PAPERS!! I am not breeding 2 crazy @ss dogs to produce more crazy @ss babies to run around and help add to the reputation that Pit Bulls have come to receive.

this has nothing to do with removing dew claws...

so every one of those pups you or your family is keeping?
you don't intend to sell any of them?

[daaangconcepts]

Why would that matter?? Would that qualify me as a "backyard" breeder? Or would it be the same as someone who has a love for ball pythons and wants to start breeding?

[joyful girl]

I asked because you said

"But I bred my female b.c I (along with my family members) wanted HER offspring. "

if you were breeding your dog in hopes of selling puppies for profit then you would be a back yard breeder (real breeders do not make profit after all the health testing, ect they pay for in hopes of bettering a breed)

there is a difference between breeding dogs and breeding snakes
you don't see thousands of snakes being euthanized on a daily basis because there aren't homes for them (pit bulls especially)

obviously you've already done it but I hope you get your dog fixed now that you've got some of 'her offspring'

[daaangconcepts]

Are you serious? I mean really serious! You think "real breeders" don't make a profilt?

lol......
