I have a friend who has a Yellow Lab Male, and a Basset Hound female (puppy), and she wants to breed them. She thinks that it's good for a female to have at least on litter before getting spayed. She says she wants to breed her Lab at least 4 times.:eek: How do I talk her out of breeding her dogs?
Help!:confused:
Take her to a local shelter and show her all the homeless dogs. Then see what she says.
Show her this:

Ask her where her research has come from in that she knows it's good for a dog to have one litter before she's spayed? I've always been curious why people say that. If she just wants puppies, I'm sure she could foster a pregnant dog and her puppies. I'm sure she could find a dog or puppies to fit her desire to have puppies. But, why in the world would you want to put a basset hound and a lab together?! That just sounds ugly as he**!!Quote:

Ahhhh a "bassador"..... they're actually more common than one would think.
Tell her there are so many lab crosses in shelters. Ask what would make hers any different.
There are actually a lot of basset crosses too....
In my local shelter there is a basset GSD cross

OMG... what is he thinking about... grrr.... utīs really sad....I hope sheīll change her mind... I really really hope...
You should show her this link, which Binka gave...Itīs really sad :( :(
Ahhh :( That link is so sad!
My mother also said that she'd like our female to have a litter :rolleyes:, and I got piddle neutered with my own money :p so there was no male for her to breed with lol, so she shortly after got spayed.
Guster, be careful what you say :p. There is a PT member who has a lab and basset cross, Lucy (katienoonan's pup) and she's very cute, but of course that is absolutely no reason to deliberately breed them. I don't have much to add to what was already well said as far as the breeding.. I truly hope and pray you are able to convince your friend otherwise.
This is Lucy, a lab/basset cross. Hopefully katienoonan doesn't mind me reposting her pic!

I stole the pictures from her introductory thread here: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...5&pagenumber=1 :)
Hey, my apologies, but it sounded like an unappealing mix. I hope it didn't offend anyone!Quote:

Some mixes do sound weird and until you see one you never know I guess! Of course I didn't mean to sound scolding and meant it in a lighthearted way :)
I do think Lucy is a cutie though!
Thanks everyone!
But no, she's not goig to breed her Lab and her Basset together. At least she hopes they don't. Thanks again, everyone.
:( :(
I agree with everyone else, oh and katienoonans doggie is actually very cute, I am always attracted to dogs with short legs, hehe. My dad has an aussie/doxie cross he resuced, very cute dog!
