EDUCATION TIME!

No preamble this time. We’re getting right into it.

Breeding is traumatic. Read that again. Breeding. Is. Traumatic.

At some point when you breed you will experience trauma. It might be your first litter, it might be your fifteenth. If you breed with any sort of longevity…you will experience trauma.

You will lose puppies.
You will lose one of your girls.
You will lose both at the same time.
People will be cruel to your dogs and not all buyers will keep in contact no matter how much you try.

You will deal with human beings who won’t like you because you won’t sell them a dog, because you breed animals they don’t like, because they may be racist towards BIPOC, because they don’t like disabled people. Any number of reasons, really.

You will deal with the stress of vet bills when an unexpected whelping complication occurs. You will deal with overzealous mamas who get urine burns on their lips.

You will deal with animals you bred being sick, despite how hard you tried to avoid it. You will deal with upset owners who were expecting perfection because unrealistic standards are ascribed to breeders who health test and title.

I make no apologies for the dogs I’ve bred over the years. I have regrets and sadness over certain occurrences, but I am not sorry for the dogs I’ve created who bring their owners joy.

I have experienced trauma.

If you choose to breed, you will too. And you need to decide how much you can take.

“These two boys are from the same parents, boy on the left was paediatric neutered and the other has stayed intact. As you can see, the development the right pup has compared to the left is undeniable, from his skull width, to his chest and shoulders.
This is the development pups will lose out on when desexing before full maturity.”

Zaliah is currently on day 2 of her heat cycle and if all goes to plan we hopefully will be traveling to Florida for them to breed, if not we will do an AI.

Tomorrow Zaliah goes for her brucellosis testing. She was negative last time but it’s always good to check each time a dog is bred.

Expecting all sables, some will carry solid some will be double sable. All will carry long coat some will be long coat.

Puppies will be dm tested

Sire is on the pedigree database, amazing pedigree. Super excited to be keeping back 2 female puppies and maybe a male puppy with our partnered kennel Des Hausraben Shepherds

It is very important to keep them intact until atleast 2 years of age, but preferfably their entire life.
