Rhodesian Ridgeback/Pitbull puppies

Are either the parents or the puppies fixed, yet? Did you make the puppy parents sign a contract or at least verbally agree to alter their dogs?

They are cute, but I really hope there's no more procreation!

YES- did you?

OH MY GOSHY!!! Are those ridges I see on the puppies in the first picture? They are adorable!

Congrats on finding them homes. I just really hope the new owners get them spayed/neutered when it's time.

The puppies are precious. : ) They're very lucky that you took them in.

I totally agree with Giselle... please, please make sure ALL of them are spayed and neutered by 6 months old! E-mail each of the owners asking that they pay the Vet in advance, and have a date set, and show you proof of that. And please get their parents altered, as well.

So how are the puppies doing at their new homes?? Are you keeping the other two, or are you going to find homes for them, as well?

Honestly, I didn't know I could require the new owners to get their puppy fixed. Who am I to tell them what to do once it's theirs? So, I may have messed up there. like I said before, this has never happened to us before. I do know that 5 of them are getting fixed for sure. I'm not saying the others aren't, I just don't know either way. Plus, we are getting the mother fixed. I don't know about the father, he's not ours.
We did tell people that if for any reason they realized they could not keep the puppy they could return it to us and we would take the responsibilty of finding a new home.
The puppies are doing very well at their new homes, from what I hear most of them are in charge of the house now. I've gotten some pictures and one of them is even on vacation in the mountains right now.
My parents are keeping one, and I didn't count her when I said there were two left. We are still looking for homes for those two. But we will end up keeping them in the family before they go to a home we're not comfortable with.

The puppies came from YOUR dog! You have every say in the world about the new owners getting them spayed/neutered! It's not rude or mean of you to tell them they must have it done. I just hope the new homes are responsible enough to have this done.
