message mpr about this ad Six months old, housebroken, up to date with vaccines, deworming, flea prevention and heart worm prevention vet checked She is leash trained, crate trained and learning basic commands Extremely socialized around children, cats, and dogs! She is not a yapper and only barks if someone comes onto the porch. She is living in Joliet and is ready for her new home. I am closing my doodle doors to enjoy my retirement. Sharing this from a friend! Ever wonder how many sacrifices hide behind every litter? Breeding isnt just adorable puppy photos and ribbons in the show ringits an ocean of unseen nos and not-this-times. TIME: Off-duty doesnt exist Weekends, trips, vacationsall postponed or cut short. Movie night? Not while neonates twitch in the whelping box. Peaceful sleep? Impossible when a restless, expectant dam paces, constantly checking to make sure no pups are laid on. In breeding, every minute matters. MONEY: The outflow never ends Top-tier breeding dogs costsometimes eye-wateringly so. Health screenings, genetic panels, shows, travel, premium nutrition, supplements, C-sections, meds, vaccines, gearthousands of dollars. Profit? Some litters barely break even; some land you in the red. EMOTIONS: Patience forged in heartache A puppy slipping away in your hands. A dam that wont whelp despite every intervention. Telling a hopeful family no because the match isnt right. Giving everything, yet receiving criticism, envy, or misinformation in return. ROLES: Breederand so much more Nurse Neonatologist Foster mom Geneticist Logistics manager Photographer Janitor Psychologist Lifelong adviser RELATIONSHIPS: Constantly tested Cant meetmy girls in labor. Sorrypups have diarrhea; Im on watch. No, I wont leave themits my responsibility. Some understand. Others drift away. THROUGH IT ALL: LOVE Love for the breed, for each fragile life. Love that wakes you ten times a night. Love that refuses shortcuts. Love that sends healthy, confident puppies into the world, even when youre exhausted. A responsible breeder isnt just a puppy person. They trade personal comfort for canine welfare, measure success in wagging tailsnot dollarsand willingly live between exhilaration and heartbreak. Respect responsible breeders. They pour heart, time, and resources into every litteroften unnoticed, always essential. breeding is far more than cute puppy pics, the life of thr puppy you receive are planned/prayed for/ and sacrificed for sometimes years in the making message mpr about this ad |
