Ah good thread stacia

For the people in the uk celia Hammond spays and neuters and a discounted rate, blue cross will pay towards it (approx £50) for those on low income and in receipt of job seekers or income support.

I have very strong views on spaying and neutering and could argue til I'm blue in the face about. I think it's irresponsible not to do it. I believe the only dogs that should be bred should improve a breed, they should be shown and if not recommended and assessed by a judge!!

None of this I breed for health and temperament crap yes that comes into it but if your dogs aren't to standard spay them. Goes for cross breeding too who gave people the right to try and create their own breed it's just a way of making money it disgusts me!! Frankly I don't care if I've offended anyone with this comment there are far too many dogs with health problems due to these and I use the term loosely breeders trying to make some money.

Ooppsie litters aren't acceptable it's bad ownership. Even exhibitors who have both boys and girls ship their boys off to someone else or keep them well confined when their girl goes into heat!!

This let them mate or have a litter once is just rubbish they won't think that when tier puppies or mum die we've seen it so much on here it does my nut in!! Do the right thing.
