Can I still breed from a dog with ENTROPIAN ?

Buttercup123,

If she doesn't get spayed, she could suffer from pyometra. That will put the dog and any babies she'd have at great risk of dying.


I'm surprized the breeder didn't have mandatory spay/neuter in the contract. But then again, people who THINK they're breeders really don't CARE. All their interested in is making a quick buck. Sad.

DON'T BUY WHILE SHELTER DOGS DIE!!!

Ok? I never said for her not to get the dog spayed, quite opposite really so not sure why your trying to educate me on pyo or call me out other then to start something...
There is no problem with people buying from a breeder though, not everyone wants a dog from a shelter and have specific wants from a dog.

Gosh, I hope your daughter will get her dog spayed. The world is full of dogs and cats that are killed every day for (arguably) lack of space. These are pure bred dogs and cats, mutts, and everything in between.

I never understand the myth that somehow buying from a breeder (backyard or not) somehow gets you this "perfect" selection of a pet whereas adopting one from either a shelter or breed specific rescue gets you something you never would have expected from a breed. Adopting a fully matured pet gives you about 98% more information on how the dog or cat is and will be then does adopting a 6 week old puppy or kitten.

Give me 30 days and I can find you your "perfect" animal- from a shelter or a rescue. I have seen it all. Of course, the very obscure breeds not so much, but generally, that is NOT what typical people like us are looking for. And, we are not the people that breeders of this specific breed are selling to.

No one knows what their pet will or won't be like. How many times have we read or heard, "it was a beloved family pet, raised from 6 weeks...". ALL animals can act like, well, animals. Even those that come from the breeder. Ugh.
