Hi,
I would like some view points on repeat breedings. I am not a breeder. I joined ths forum over a year ago and have gotten very good information. I have talked to many breeders and have gone to conformation shows. A few breeders(have forgotten who) told me their is always room for improvement so they saw no reason to repeat a breeding. I also practice natural rearing. I view this as no vaccines or only what's required by law. Not using chemicals on the dog or in the home(I make all my cleaners and soap except shampoo) and feeding a raw diet(3 years). I am married, 2 kids, 1 dog(german shorthaired pointer), have been training dogs for 2 years and have fostered 3 dogs. By no means am I claiming to be an expert.
I have a very young friend who is critizing me for choosing a doberman. Claims I do not practice natural rearing and for not believing in microchips. Now, she recently joined a schutzhund club for working german shepherds. She currently has a 4 yr old gsd. My friend is 20 by the way and lives in an apartment. They are letting her get a puppy for a real discount off their next repeat breeding. The breeders have been doing this for 30 plus years and most dogs are kenneled unless working. They feed raw but do vaccinate.
Does this seem like a good breeder? I am hoping to get a puppy from Traci Mulligan of Rehbolzer, 2013 litter. I have talked with her and she knows her stuff. Plus, she practices natural rearing which was what I was looking for.
I hate to end a friendship but enough is enough. She has been a dog trainer at Petsmart for 1 month and in the schutzund club for 3-5 months and feeding raw for 2 months(which I helped her get started)
Thanks and welcome comments.:lol2:
