sometimes yes.... well for me
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
I could not and would not help a novice BYB with the mating/whelping/rearing of their dogs and pups
My concern there is that when they have got through this first breeding, and had all of our support, they decide it wasnt too bad and go ahead and do it again. So our one time of offering help and support, we condem the bitch to a repeat mating, and her daughter, and her daughter and so on and so on and so on. We also condem all of the future pups, who are homed with little regard for welfare and future breeding.
I wont be popular for saying it but sometimes i would rather they had a horrible delivery, with terrible outcome, and decided never to breed again.
IMO as horrible as it is, i would rather sacrifice one bitch and her pups, to save another hundred bitches and their pups.
