Your other cousin was going to dump the poor pup in a shelter?

Weell, that is exactly why the little guy does NOT need to be reproducing! Because there are tons of unwanted dogs in this country, therefore logically, only dogs that have proven themselves in conformation, working, and health tests need to be reproducing. If you aren't breeding to actually improve the breed - not for financial gain - you are just adding to a terrible overpopulation problem. Dogs are companions, not money-making machines!
