It appears little bit is done with playtime and ready to come in. How do you say no to that face?

Noted, this little girl and two other babies are still available.

Written by a Veterinarian technician:

My purchase of a well-bred purebred dog does not condemn another dog to death.
My purchase of a well-bred purebred dog does not result in an uptick in the shelter dogs.
My desire to have a dog with predictable temperament from a healthy line does not result in another dog not getting adopted at the shelter.
My careful research on the most responsible breeders who meet all requirements is not the problem. It's not what you should be mad at.
It's not who you should blame.
I am not the one who irresponsibly brought these dogs into this world and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders aren't the ones bringing these dogs to animal shelters either.
It's my home, my life and my choice what kind of dog I want to bring in. Maybe I need a working dog, sport dog, show dog or just a companion dog of a certain breed that suits me best.
Whatever reason I choose to support a reputable breeder, it will not send an animal protection dog to death.
A breeder who does health tests, temperament tests and titling of their dogs does not contribute to the number of stray dogs.
The number of stray dogs in the world is a problem, but it's not a problem made worse by reputable breeders or those who buy from them.
Your neighbor who gets a "purebred" dog without papers because they're cheap is contributing to the problem.
Your friend who spontaneously bought a puppy from Petland is contributing to the problem.
The person scrambling to pump out the hottest designer mix ASAP (i.e. doodles) is contributing to the problem.
Your relatives who have to get their dog covered once, "so she can experience what it's like to be a mother" or because "she's such a good/cute/sweet girl" are contributing to the problem.
Your old school mate who bought a working dog with lots of energy without taking the time to research its needs and character who ultimately sees it doesn't fit his lifestyle is the problem.
A reputable breeder offers lifetime support. A serious breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter from the start.
It's understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you look closer, you'll find that your anger is misplaced.

Food for thought:

Dear Current & Future Puppy families:

Your puppy was loved here first! I imagined you before you even knew me. I planned for and cared about your baby long before you even started thinking of adding one to your home. I worried about your future with that puppy before you knew there would be one.

Years upon years were spent researching lines for the parents of your puppy. Networking, wading through the bad breeders, to find the ones that have the same morals and ethics as I, and choosing not only my pet, but looking for a dog that would make you yours. Worrying if you’d be happy, if I had chosen correctly. Wondering and obsessing if your puppy would grow up healthy and happy. Picking the brains of as many knowledgeable breeders as I could, determined to not miss a thing. Took my time learning EVERYTHING I could find, to know the ins and outs not only for my knowledge, but so that I could guide my future customers and prepare to go over every detail with you, to answer the questions that sometimes you don’t even know to ask.

Then, there’s all the time that it takes to raise your puppy’s mother and/or father. Loving them and enjoying them as part of my family. Taking them everywhere I could, training them, socializing them, watching and agonizing about how they will mature. Obsessing and questioning myself each and every step if I had made the right choice. Scrutinizing their conformation, their movement, and of course, their temperament. Making sure Mom was of a ripe age before allowing a suitor to proceed.

Finally came the time to put your puppy’s parents together. For the next 62 days I worried, I obsessed, and I grew excited. I watched your puppy’s mom 24/7. Making sure my baby was ok, monitoring her diet better than I do my own. Spent hours with her watching her tummy grow and looking for any signs of distress. As both our babies grew, I laid my hands on her tummy and felt the first movements of your puppy. I spent most nights with her making sure she didn’t go into labor without my knowing.

When the c-section started my whole life stopped. Your baby was born and I held my breath as they were cleaned up, watching for movement and breathing, checking them over, and wondering if you’d love them as much as I already did. I cried when your baby’s sister didn’t make it. I cry every time I think of her.

For the first 8 weeks my life was filled with everything puppies. I watched them grow and made sure I was doing everything possible to ensure that their lives started off the right way. I made sure each one was getting enough to eat, enough socialization, healthcare and keeping them safe.

I searched for you and interviewed you. I tried to read your character. Would you love them as much as I do? Would you care for this tiny life that I brought into this world and was responsible for? I trusted you and welcomed you into our family. The day you took your baby home was harder than I’d ever let on. I was excited for you but I was also terrified. Had I chosen correctly?

My love and worry didn’t end there. I think about your baby regularly, get excited with any updates picture, beam with pride and show everyone I care about how fantastic our baby is doing, saddened when I don’t get update. I hope you are caring for your baby the way I care for mine.

I loved your baby first and I will never stop.

Signed,

Responsible breeders everywhere

Boxer babies are here!! 6.28.23
We took 4 boys and 2 girls to the vet today for health screen, tail docking and front dew claw removal. Pictures to follow soon.

** and guys, this may be our last litter. With losing three boxers this year due to the cruelty of someone’s sick joke, I don’t know if I have it in me to rebuild my wiggle-butt herd. Mom is definitely being retired, but I may stud out Waylon for a litter or two with an adequate female.

06/17/2023

Poor Waylon, he can’t go anywhere without being used as a bed.
Also, this handsome guy is going to be a daddy any day now. Our first litter of non-sealed babies. Stay tuned!
