This is not my choice and no matter how much I try and convience Bob he won't listen to me! What are the chances of him listening to me? 0%! I'll keep on trying but the doubts are high!

I know there are many... many Labradors at shelters but those dogs were not responsibly bred or have AKC papers, do they? These puppies will and Bob is responsible and will do anything for Elly.

I know you guys are just trying to help me but it is getting a little pushy towards me. And it shouldn't be, it should be towards my step-dad....
NOBODY is trying to be 'pushy' Amanda. Breeding is not a good topic here and I knew from the start this thread was going to make some trouble. No one wants you to breed Elly because there are plenty of other Labs in the shelters, puppies, AKC registered dogs, health certified dogs, and your adding to the population. What if you can't find homes for them all and they end up in the pound or as strays? Breeding costs a lot of money and you guys may not have the money for it. A c-section may be needed, or the puppies, and possibly the mother may die!!
