Everyone brings up great points. The main thing is, if you keep this up, Cricket is more prone to death than life. Considering she is more vulnerable to behavioural problems from being overbred and bred too young, bone problems because she was bred before her bones fully developed (which means arthritis, etc.), obesity because she is now used to feeding for herself and the pups, cancer because she was never spayed, as well as probably dozens more things. A resposible person would listen to our cautions and say, "Hey, well if there is such a risk, and if my dog will be unhealthy and/or die, that I'm going to do whatever it takes to help keep her alive and well." It seems to me that by the way you bash everyone's comments (everyone who is VERY concered about the welfare of your poor dog who's owner is neglagent enough to let her bring puppy after puppy into this world, causing her emotional and physical harm), that you don't really care if your dog lives or dies.

I'll tell you where my dogs came from.

Timber came from a very irresponsable breeder like yourself. She was an "accident" and nobody wanted her because she was the poor little mutt pup in the petshop (who's breeders actually stuck in that hell hole). The little malteses and shi tzus from puppy mills went like crazy but the poor little Timber from the backyard breeder was stuck in her pen with her litter. She was the first to go, a gift from my aunt. All of the other pups stayed for months, the prices went down and down. Now if it was my choice to get a pup and I saw her there as a puppy, I wouldn't take a second look because I would know where she came from. A backyard breeder.

Leather came from great lines. Her father was a conformation champion, a gorgeous healthy certified and registered german shepherd named Thor. Her mother was a gorgeous white German shepherd, named Ice, who was registered and certified. The litter was a fluke, an accident, but luckily the owners were responsible enough that the breeding dogs had the essentails.

I'm already talking to the reputable breeder I'm buying my catahoula from when I am older. She gave me the emails of many breeders that are closer to my area, but I turned them all down because they either had only one breeding pair, bred their dogs too much, or didn't seem "serious" about breeding. It seemed like some only wanted to make a living. I am very happy that I chose such a good breeder that they have alot of dogs who have working lines, the dogs are certified, some are show dogs, they are pedigreed and come from wonderful breeders, they don't inbreed, they do it only for the love of the breed and don't put much consideration into the look of the dog, only working ability and so on and so forth.
