Puppies

[chocolatemoose]

I have 3 mixed lab puppies if anyone is interested, 1 yellow female and 2 black males. The dad looks like Scamp from Lady & the Tramp. They look lab to me? They are 19 days old and will be ready for their new homes around 3/1/09. Asking $50 ea to cover vet, shots and worming.

Thanks,
Brenda

Brenda, where are you located? we would be interested in the female

Hey Belinda,

I just emailed you back. I'm 99% sure both females are spoken for but the black males are adorable.

Please have the mother spayed asap.

This litter was an accident, my dog just turned a year old and it was her first heat. I bought this female to let her have a litter of puppies because she comes with great hunting lines, so I will spay her after she has 1 litter of full lab puppies.

The whoops factor aside on this litter, do you plan on getting breeding clearances done on the mother? What about the future sire? Have either the dam or proposed sire been proven in hunting or the show ring? Do they meet conformation and temperament standards for the breed? Do you have contracts for the puppies that the new owners are required to abide by? Do you take your dogs back at any time in their lives if the new owner can't keep them? If you can't say yes to all these questions, you shouldn't breed her in the future. Purebred doesn't mean well bred, and in fact can mean a higher rate of genetic diseases.

Let's not bash Chocolatemoose...
she is only here placing the living puppies....
She does not have to be afraid of posting, does she?

I'm thinking this feels an awful lot like an attack on her original posting...
We needent feel the need to direct her in how to breed a dog, I'm sure she is aware
Dogs are absolutely the most difficult to predict accidents in breeding, as we are all well aware, due to the variance in their heat cycles and long fertility period after the 'heat' which has no physical signs of 'start' or 'stop'. Let's stick to kind remarks

My goodness, I am posting on this site in order to give a couple of puppies a good home.
Most of us on this board share our passion and kindness to horses in need, so what better place to offer them a good home .

With all due respect, you need not worry about me and my animals, those that know me will attest to this.

Ditto what pnp said

I bet those little guys are cute, cute, cute! A terrier/lab mix would be a blast to train.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to sit and keep my mouth shut when someone brings more puppies into this world, when so many are euthanized every single day. Labs especially fill up the shelters--why would you want to add more? MustangAppy asks very good questions.

If someone came on this horse rescue board talking about an "oops" breeding and about breeding their mare, it would be perfectly reasonable to ask these questions. So why not for dogs? Are we rescue snobs here? We worry about horses only?

It never ceases to amaze me how someone can be all hard-nosed about horse rescue and yet not get their cats/dogs/etc. spayed and neutered. Seriously--take a look at www.petfinder.com and see all the animals in rescues/shelters.

As I said, purebred labs are a dime a dozen in rescues and shelters. Bringing a litter of puppies into the world dooms that many dogs to a much less than pleasant death.

Good thing we all live in America where we are free to do what we want with the animals that we own. (Yes I said own!) I can go to a shelter and pull a puppy to live in our home for 12 + years. I can go to a shelter and pull a Champion 10 year old German Shepherd and give it a home for as long as it lives. I can go to a rescue and "buy" a dog so they are free to go and rescue some more dogs. And YES I can breed my German Shepherds that are OFA certified and duel titled. I have done all these things and will continue to do them. Oh and by the way, I know where every single puppy that has left my house is. In my opinion Brenda is doing the right thing for these puppies. It sure sounds like she loves her fur babies and cares where they are going. Yes there are idiots out there breeding litter after litter, but you are not going to change the way they do "business" anyway. Sure can't see getting in someone's face because they are trying to do the right thing. Many people would dump these babies in the nearest animal shelter or somewhere in the "country". Thanks to you Brenda for taking the responsibility to do the right thing.

I had an oopsie foal... While I didnt want or plan for her, I can not imagine letting go of my :not so little: Tryst of Fate.
