I am a pet owner that has made the choice of breeding my male and female pets. I shouldn't have to worry about being lumped into the puppy mill group. I have definite desire to improve the type and breed of my puppies. I choose to breed more for temperament, and I have had to deal with a wonderful vet that would not put down a dog that was poorly bred, and had a very bad temperament.
I still feel bad that I dumped the dog on craigslist. I did a full discloser on her. She hated nearly all people and hated my other female Yorkie, and she wanted to kill the chicks in the brooder. She was a very unpleasant dog. I hate the fact that the only way I could make her leave my home was craigslist. I had wanted her to live with forever at first. I worry that she will be placed from home to home. I would have rather had her put down. At least I would have known what happened to her. She came to me at 8 weeks old. I still grieve for the puppy, and all then promise that she represented. I don't understand why she became so nasty and evil. She had never been abused. But in the end she should have been put down, rather than the other options.
I have done rescue, and at least most of the time you can blame the owner. Most dogs can be rehabbed and placed into the right environment. I have never had a dog like that dog. I do know now that I shouldn't have bred her. I am still learning. I just want the breed to be healthy and have a stable personality. It is not right to breed for the smallest dog. The dogs need to be healthy first. On the other hand without her, we wouldn't have my daughters dog. He is the cutest dog on Facebook. His name is Reeses Rombouts.
