Rana, if you read my post then she is past the breeding age anyway, (7
years), and the pups cannot be registered with the KC, which would make
nonsense of the breeding idea.

Having said that, she does look lovely, doesn't she? We decided after
our mini long daxie died we wouldn't get any more. We thought about it
tonight, again, and came to the same conclusion (

I might just work on my Mum though, as our dogs ain't young 'uns so it
isn't like getting a pup in. My reserve atm with that though, is that
we have a JR, and how would the mini smooth fit in? Because IIRC they
can be quite fiesty.

Hi Lesley ,
What makes you think that would stop people from breeding? That
would stop responsible breeders but people let there dogs have pups
for all sorts of reasons, some because they think it will be fun to
have pups, others because because they can still sell them , papers or
not.
Obviously Rana will have to trust her judgement on the dogs new
owners but people promise things and don't always keep their promises.
She is lovely , I wish I could have another dog.

Unfortunately, it's true that it won't stop everyone from using her to
breed from, but the value of the pups *should* be reduced without the
relevant papers.

Anyone who thinks breeding is an easy thing to do is a mug, a friend of
mine (who still shows her daxies) has been breeding for many years and
she always seems to have problems with whelping, and she isn't green to
the breeding game.

Indeed she will, some people will say anything to get the dog and then
do exactly the opposite.

> She is lovely , I wish I could have another dog.

Well, I've thought about it but have decided against it. Even a dog of
this age could have another decade ahead of her (going by our now
departed 19 yo and our current 14 yo).

Take a look in the loot. Even crossbred small pups like yorkie X lhasa are
going for £250.

You would imagine that she would give up breeding a strain which has
whelping problems wouldn't you?
