Hi
We werent told much about her history, just she needed a home or they would be thinking of the vets trip (PTS) so on the condition of having her, we were told we had to have one litter from her, or we were in breach of contract. They found me the dog, and said he had been used before, however when we got there, we saw loads of his relatives, and parents, grand parents, and siblings. They showed me all the health checks they had completed on the parents of him and then of course on him.
I guess i just fell prey to being totally in love with her and didnt want to leave her in such place, and they preyed on it.
We were told to try her for a bit and then let them know, wot we thought about her, by that time we were hooked, and so agreed to the contract of them having breed rights.
We have done everything through my vet to make sure that she was 100% healthy and that the pups would have the best start in life, with all her tests done.
I was kinda convinced she must have had a litter before as her teats were always up, when we brought her home. I wouldnt say i was a novice at dog keeping, or their health risks etc, but this has truely got my stumped! My other dogs have been spayed and neutered on arrival here, as stops any problems in the pack occuring. I am a firm believer in doing the responsible dog owner thing, and wouldnt have bred my choice. I have also done the right thing by making sure all the pups had good homes to go to, should they have arrived.
Please dont judge me on my weakness to do anything for my girl as she means the world to me, as do my others. We also foster dogs from time to time, mainly collies as the dont do well in kennels.
Just fostered a Jack X Basset (what a mess!) but very cute.
Thanks for everyones advice and i think i will see if i can speak to another vet about this, as if i need to spay her for health reasons then that will be my Get out of Jail free card! and she wont need to worry about any of it

Thanks again
