Anyone ever seen this breed?

She is irresponsible for breeding mixed pups when you can go into any american or non american shelter and get a mixed breed pup because im guessing every one who has one of those pups isnt gonna get it fixed and eventualy one of them or their pups will end up in a shelter and add to the already large number of dogs that arnt wanted. jmo and good breeders ( pure breeds) breed for tempurment and to better the breed standard not just to have puppies with the mother or father being one of their dogs .
Well, rather than throw out accusations, just a few questions:
1) What genetic screening did your sister do before she decided to breed?
2) What effort did she put into the selection of the two dogs to breed?
3) What screening was done to determine the presence of joint displasia in the dogs she bred?
3) What was the purpose of breeding these two? Was it to advance a particular breed? Was it to make a profit? Was it because she thought it would be fun? Was there a shortage of mutts available at the animal shelters that needed to be filled? Were the animal shelters so depleted that mutts were not otherwise available?
4) Is she willing to take back any of the pups during their entire life should they find themselves homeless?

Well, There was more than enough homes from responsible people waiting to get a puppy when they were born. Its not like she did this just to have puppies and then figure out what they were gonna do later. I know each and every one of the other 4 puppies owners and they are all very good people and will take care of the dogs. I know all them them have plans to be fixed. The vet said to wait til he is about 5-6 months.
Also, these dogs were free. Puppies at shelters are expensive. As bad as those people claim they wanna put those stray dogs in people's homes they sure do charge and arm and a leg for em.

If they cant afford an adoption fee then how do they afford to feed them and cover vets fees?
the reason rescues charge for their dogs is that they have probably cost a hell of alot more than the adoption fee itself!! they have to, neuter, vaccinate, worm, flea treat, and any other medical problems that they have will be paid by the rescue, so i dont see how any donation can be too much!

So she did it to avoid the high cost of adopting? Well, I have to confess ignorance on the cost to adopt at the various shelters. But my guess is that it would not cost more (at least not substantially more) to adopt than the amount its going to cost for the proper neo-natal care, plus the cost of spaying/nuetering, plus the cost of vacinations, etc. Of course that is only the drop in the bucket as to what it costs to care for a dog over the life of the dog.
1. Not real sure but I know she didn't rush into it. We have a friend who breeds Yorkies and she said this would be OK.
2. She picked 2 very well mannered dogs to breed. I know the mother and the father and they are both great dogs.
3. I have no idea. Never talked about that with her.
3. They made these dogs because her and her friend both wanted to have a litter of puppies and they knew people who all wanted puppies but couldn't afford to spend 300 bucks at the shelter for one.
4. She actually kinda wanted one. She already has 3 dogs so her husband didn't want another. But either of the parents owners would have taken one as would I.
I don't know if you approve of those answers or not but i find the satisfactory.
Hello everyone,
First of all, I don't agree with what his sister and friend did, but people, easy on Bentor. I guess Bentor is a new member in this forum. When I wasn't a member in this place, I didn't know that this issue is serious untill I met many people here, and read alot from many threads about breeding.
So maybe Bentor's sister wasn't aware of this thing. I don't know

Its not so much whether I approve or not. I am just one person. My opinion matters about as much as the paper this is written on. The concern is whether your sister has added to the problem of unwanted animals having to be put in shelters and ultimately exterminated.
Assuming each of these dogs is well loved and cared for for life, there is still the argument some would make that there were other other mutts at shelters that could have been adopted instead. Thus, by breeding these mutts, five or so dogs in shelters that could have been saved by being adopted in their stead would have been put down. I don't know if I entirely agree with that argument, or at least agree that that factor necessarily overides all other concerns. If I did, I don't know how I could justify owning a purebred acquired from a breeder when other mutts were available from the shelter. (I guess I am not a save the world type.) But it is something to consider.
