What A Good Breeder Is

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:27:00 -0500

A Breeder (with a Capital B) is one who thirsts for knowledge and never knows it all,
one who wrestles with decisions of conscience, convenience, and Commitment.
A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, friendships,
fancy furniture, and deep pile carpeting!
She gives up the dreams of a long, luxurious cruise in favor of turning that all
important show into this years "vacation."
A Breeder goes without sleep (but never without Coffee!) in hours spent planning a
breeding or watching anxiously over the birth process, and afterwards, over every
little sneeze, wiggle or cry.
A Breeder skips dinner parties because that litter is due or the babies have to be fed
at eight. She disregards birth fluids and puts mouth to mouth to save a gasping
newborn, literally blowing
A Breeder's lap is a marvelous place where generations of proud and noble
champions once snoozed.
A Breeder's hands are strong and firm and often soiled, but ever so gentle and
sensitive to the thrusts of a puppy's wet nose.
A Breeder's back and knees are usually arthritic from stooping, bending and sitting in
the birthing box, but are strong enough to enable the breeder to the next choice pup
to a Championship.
A Breeder's shoulder's are stooped and often heaped with abuse from competitors,
but they're wide enough to support the weight of a thousand defeats and frustrations.
A Breeder's arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of puppies or
lend a helping hand to a newcomer.
A Breeder's ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from being talked about) or
strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone receiver), often deaf to
criticism, yet always fine-tuned to the whimper of a sick puppy.
A Breeder's eyes are blurred from pedigree research and sometimes blind to her own
dog's faults, but they are ever so keen to the competitions faults and are
always searching for the perfect specimen.
A Breeder's brain is foggy on faces, but can recall pedigrees faster than an IBM
computer. It's so full of knowledge that sometimes it blows a fuse; it catalogues
thousands of good bones, fine ears, and perfect heads...and buries in the soul the
failures and the ones that didn't turn out.
A Breeder's heart is often broken, but it beats strongly with hope everlasting...
and it's always in the right place!
Oh, yes, there are breeders, and then, there are BREEDERS!!!!

I see a lot of breeders & not just cockapoo breeders that are selling several puppy's cheap & ticks me of because its like the Walmart of breeders a big shot with a big kennel or some say a puppy mill & makes it hard for good dedicated breeders to find good homes for good quality pups! If you what a low cost dog or puppy go to a rescue or shelter & go through them & let them see if you worthy of a pet at all!

To all the people that think that mix breeding is stupid,gross,wrong
Does not deserve respect in the dog world because I don't hate against rescue dogs pure breed dogs
its all about choice & that's OK but you don't half to be a ahole to people who you don't even know them
