and..."never less than a year between pregnancy"??? There are so many reasons to breed...furthering a certain line based on pedigree, genetics, temperaments, and health...all aspects need to be considered. Just to pop out a few "Batches" out of each female before the age of two makes me extremely concerened. I am so sorry to disagree with you but your comments and questions Cindy do NOT ring true of someone who is breeding for the purpose of furthering the breed let alone someone who has a clue as to why or what they are doing...you seem to me to be just pumping out puppies...exactly how many females do you have??? I am sorry to be so rude...I really am...but I just can't keep quiet! If you could just "see" the results of your poor decisions over the lifetime of those pups you are putting out there!!! We can argue and disagree about the outrageous charges that shelters charge for adoptions but I can tell you this...if people like you were STOPPED they would not exist!!!! Again sorry to be rude but I just gotta say it!!!! Hugs In Him, Deanna

If you were an experienced breeder you would not forget one of the most important things. Not being snarky just skeptical. And really research has proven that it is not necessary for a dog to have 2 litters before getting spayed, that is the owner choice. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cindy Dawson Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 4:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] (unknown) I do know what I,m doing breeding My dog. I believe in letting her have two batches of puppies then I get them fixed and her puppy always have there shot be for they go to new homes. and I know the home they go to. I have her mother and that how I did her but I never let them breed her first time going in to heat. and never less then a year between pregnancy. ________________________________ From: Mare <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, August 13, 2010 8:25:22 AM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] (unknown) Very well said Deanna. Every word is so very true. Why anyone would just stick two dogs together to get one pregnant without researching the breed,genetics,color mutations,etc. is in my opinion being irresponsible and non caring.

IMO your female should stay away from any un-nuetered male to prevent unwanted pregnancies. But I guess what I don't understand is why you would want her "cot" and what exactly that term means to you?? It scares me to think that in this day and age...with what is happening to the poor Chihuahua at this very present time, that you would WANT to bring Chihuahua puppies into this world without being a breeder that knows EXACTLY what they are doing. I am certainly not trying to be judgemental here...I LOVE puppies and I am all for responsible breeding...for a purpose...to further the breed in a positive way...but just to bring a litter of pups into the world just breaks my heart!!! Obviously I do not know your situation or have many of the facts at all...but my heart is just breaking. I visit our local shelters often...I do a little volunteer work...and what I see each month makes me cry everytime. The shelters are over-run with the sweetest, most adorable little Chi's you ever saw...throw aways...there are not even close to enough adopters out there...they are being KILLED by the hundreds everyday. Please, please I beg of you...just go visit one. Walk through and realize how many will be killed...really without one thought...you may change your mind about just bringing more puppies into the world. I do not want to offend or criticize you...just maybe get you to think about something you may not realize. The poor Chihuahua is in GREAT need of people to stand up and scream out and give them a voice. Please re-think and really find out what is happening to the breed...it WILL make you sick!!!
