Being a dog breeder is so much more than letting two dogs make puppies. That’s the easy part.
It’s my job to evaluate, test, and carefully choose each dog who will be a future mama and papa in my program.
It’s my job to make the hard decision to spay and neuter the dogs who don’t live up to my standards even though they’re GOOD dogs.
It’s my job to choose which mama and papa to pair together in order to make puppies who can fit in and thrive in our modern world.
It’s my job to connect each puppy with a family who will love and care for them well for their entire lives.
It’s my job to support that family through the milestones of raising a puppy into a good dog.
It’s my job to take that puppy back if for any reason that family decides they can’t care for him/her at any point in their life.
So until either I’m gone or every dog I’ve produced is over the rainbow bridge, my work isn’t done yet.
