Puppies puppeis puppies

These dogs are already sold to the broker, if they don't get sold by the pick up first. She chose to bred hers all at the same time & then they will also be gone at the same time. Breeder would have a lot of puppies at one time, back yard breeders wouldn't have. We have a breeder in our neighborhood who has 75 adult dogs. I'm sure she has 23 puppies at a time. There are a lot more corgi's out there that are just family dogs than there are herd dogs. Lucilla she is having a great tie with them. They are the cutest little butter balls.

'Excitement Peeing' or 'fear peeing' could actually be an underlying problem that could be fixed with meds.

When I bred my Chocolate lab I already had 8 people looking for puppies from her. I was concerned I would not have enough puppies, She had 10 and one faded. . The problem comes when people start, -can I take the puppy and pay you later, -will you take payments, -will you hold it for four months,-blah blah blah, Next litter I am taking non-refundable deposits on the dogs first. Not that I had a problem placing the dogs in good homes, but it was more work and placing ads and taking them to horseshows. I could not imagin trying to find homes for 20 plus dogs.
I don't understand how you could send them to a broker after raising them, I interviewed each and every person who wanted a dog, watched how they treated the mom when they came to visit and if I did not think they would treat the dogs right they were shown the door. I did not raise dogs to get tied to a tree in somebodys back yard for the rest of their lives because puppy only last for 8 months. Brokers don't care once the money is in their hands. Just my two cents

Just a little excessive Robin, I don't recall reading in any post that they should be put chopped and eatten. I think people are just a little amazed at the numbers your mother has to deal with. What happened to the day of the "family raised puppy to good homes only" ads we used to see in every saterday paper. How can 23 puppies raised in their own building be considered family raised? That is next to being puppy mill, not that I am saying that your mother has a puppy mill. But they can not be getting the hands on love that they would need to become good family dogs.

Robin, did you get any photos of them? I need a small male to whip my Akita into shape.
When she was eight months old I let her climb up on my bed to sleep by me. She saw herself in my dresser mirror and knew another dog was in my bedroom. She pinned me down and barred her teeth at the mirror and would not let me move. Finally I got my legs free and kicked her but off my bed. She stalked the house looking for that dog that was in the mirror. She took total control and would not even hear me.
She has never been on my bed since then. That's to Alpha for me.
I remember the breeder telling me that I shouldn't let her climb on my bed because they feel bigger then you. Of couse I didn't listen.
Now I watch her all of the time and she is never allowed to run free. Way to dangerous.

worst temperment and unhealthy dogs are show dogs. The focus is so much on " looks " that often times health and temperment go by the waste side

I think you meant "way side"?
This is a blanket statement and cannot be further from the truth. As a "show dog" Breeder/owner of over 140 AKC Champions and AKC dog show judge I can tell you the show breeder is the most conscientious of dog breeders overall. The BYB or Back Yard Breeders (Like the lady with the Corgi's do the most harm top any breed) bet the only breeding criteria was having a male and female no thought to health, conformation and temperament. If a Show dog does not have ALL these ingredients, well it won't be very successful in the ring so we breeders would never keep breeding dogs that can't measure up. Cheap horse breeders should take note, at least they can dump their bad breeding at meat auctions, we place our pet quality pups and dogs that are not turning out in good homes with contracts that require dog be returned to us not dumped if it does not work out. Plus we guarantee in writing that our dogs are healthy, get that from a horse breeder lately.......

[Nancy T]

Another note NO breeder of show dogs would ever broker litters to a pet shop or dog dealer.

Edited by poster - I was all out of sorts with this post, ignore me - I hadn't carefully read all the posts. Continue on.

Nancy,
I didn't know you had pointers! I have my first one now. She's just turned 13 months old. I got her from Ken Sauer. She's registered with the FDSB. She has the best temperment and is very pretty -- a black n white ticked. I wasn't sure if we'd survive her initial chewing of everything but luckily that has passed
