WHAT THE BREEDER OF THE KENNEL IS SILENT ABOUT.
🤔The breeder is silent about many things...
When people look at beautiful photos of dogs, they do not think about how much work and effort goes into all this.
They look at cute puppies and think that they have already been born so cool, plump, with the basics of puppy etiquette and the initial course of okd.
So what are we talking about...
☝️Every birth is a roulette. No, we have everything calculated and calculated, but ... live a century, learn a century. Maybe everything does not go according to plan, every birth is like the first time, no matter how many of them are behind.
The worst thing for us is death. Any. During childbirth, a bitch may die, we all understand that this is always a risk. Puppies die, different, from newborns to grown-ups, everything happens and this is also painful and scary.
The dog may refuse to feed the puppies, the puppies may be defective and will have to be removed. There are cases - for various reasons, you have to feed the puppies every 2 hours from the ni**le, and this is not a couple of days, but until they start eating on their own, weeks 3.
👍 Sometimes mating with a good male is very expensive, but you didn’t know that we pay money for this??? That's how it happens. And if you go abroad, you understand. But we always know what it's all about.
Puppies can get sick, from simple diarrhea to infection, and it's all a lot of work, nerves and money ....
Complementary foods are great, but just imagine feeding every 3 hours, for example, day and night. We sit at home and smile))) we are waiting for the children to grow up and freedom ... ..
🤦♀️Everyone loves to count finances so much, look - multiply 4-5 puppies by the cost of a puppy, wow, it's so simple. Yeah, but no one thinks that money is invested in tests, titles, mating itself, childbirth, a bunch of tricks for raising puppies - from diapers to bitch milk and filler, as well as meat, feed, vaccinations and many, many interesting things . For some reason, many people think that puppies grow on their own, without investment.
Puppies waiting for their future parents. They eat too.
And let's not forget about such a big advertisement, photo shoots, etc.
Here after all the points you can multiply and subtract.
😴 And I also want to talk about the sleepless nights that we spend with puppies. When you sleep on an alarm clock, wake up every hour or don't sleep at all. And so constantly. I did not sleep for a long time for various reasons (feeding, control, complications).
Every day, regular work, without holidays, weekends and sick days.
🫤I would like to mention weak puppies. These are not cats. These are dogs and we pull all viable ones, because they are usually healthy, just weak. And at first you need to eat your cheeks in order to hang well further on your mother's sis.
🤫 Who do you think feeds these children????
That's right) breeder for a couple with mother bitch.
And most importantly, tons of s**t 💩💩💩 that we rake out of the enclosures and endless disinfection of the premises, since at one time you can slam a whole litter of infection brought on shoes.
😬The breeder is silent about how stupid people are enraged, who don’t even understand our work for a second and say - why is it so expensive?????
😵💫It's always scary where the puppy ends up, but personally I have such a policy - it's better to strain right away, look, look, but for sure. How to quickly attach and then look in the garbage heaps. I choose people for a long time, often refuse, if you don’t like a person, you have to believe in yourself ....
🫥 And we are silent about the fact that we are tired ... morally. From responsibility and burden. And God forbid, if there are people nearby who you can rely on and transfer part of the load. Sometimes whole families take care of the nursery, and that's cool. I would love to, but I'm alone.
🤐It happens to everyone - there comes a moment - that's it, fic ... I'm leaving breeding. I can’t do it anymore (more often it is after strong stresses - the loss of animals, puppies).
A day or two passes and you realize that this is not curable. We may be happy to finish, but we can’t and don’t want to, we sit on the “puppy” like drug addicts, it’s useless to treat. My humor is understandable, I hope.
🙏 And the real breeder is silent about the fact that he dies with every dog that leaves him. And this is such a pain .... We consciously sign this agreement with ourselves in advance, we have been allotted together for some years and we always pray for more, and it seems like we lie to ourselves that these years are eternity, but when we lose .... We are dying…. Again and again ... It's just that each breeder has his own line, the moment always comes when there is no more strength to lose ....
🥰 Of course, there are a huge number of pluses and positives, but you are constantly observing this, but still you should not forget that the medal has 2 sides .... And the more experience the breeder has, the more difficult the path behind him ....
