I know it is none of my business but having rescued one of my dalis from this forum (ask Mme Animal about Trevor - that's him in my avatar) and being actively involved in the breed I feel I have to say something as I've seen quite a few people get into a real mess when they can't sell their puppies - and I can only look sadly on at most of the unwanted ones.    Report

As I have said on here before.  I don't mind if people breed but only on the condition that they do as my deerhound's breeder did and insist that if I am ever unable to keep him, he can be returned to her.  That way you can ensure that the lives you have created and should always be responsible for, never end up in the dogs' home.  If you can't do this, then don't breed.    Report
