  1. I have been following with great interest , the breeding of a litter of a rare breed dog. The breeder has spent weeks 24/7 with the pups, has lost about 4kg , and has had to put their life on hold for the past couple of months. They are breeding for the benefit of the breed, and absolutely EVERYTHING has been done to assure a litter of healthy and well-educated pups.
    If you find a breed in need of a helping hand , be prepared to give it your all. Breeding ethically and responsibly is NOT producing pups the public love - it is researching what a chosen breed needs to improve it , and then dedicating a chunk of your life.

    and I reminded said friend that the Labrador wasn't the one preparing her own meals...

    Yes- when I was working at Guide Dogs - we had to keep the dogs in good condition - they were working dogs - and often it was suggested they were not the right shape for a lab :) (ie: coffee table)
