Loving the herd life
@Southern by choice We spent a lot of time educating folks on keeping dogs intact. We had to be very careful in our screening process because we had a lot of people wanting a big, tough "rockweiler" that had no interest in putting time into their dogs. By telling us that a pup would be spayed early, even after educating on later spay/neuter, we would usually decide to reject these people because it told us that they would not be willing to put effort into the dog.
We also keep up with all of our pups and know the owners well. We have only had to amend one contract for a male that needed to be neutered before two years old because he kept escaping (breaking through windows) because of an intact female down the road from where he lived.
We all know how rampant poorly bred rotties are. We had a requirement for any people that planned on breeding that the dogs needed all breed specific health clearances, two shows with specific ratings and some kind of working titles. This deterred many people from wanting our pups, which was fine with me. The people that have our pups are people that were willing to put the work in and that's why they were selected.
Have I mentioned that we don't breed anymore?![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
