Found this last night randomly and really like the flow chart. I do not know who created it, but it is full of useful information for anyone that is considering breeding their dogs.
Many times I see pet owners getting all too personal when people tell them they should not breed their pets. People think just because someone advices them against breeding their dogs that they mean their dogs are not worthy of love. This is totally 2 separate matters.
I love and enjoy my two Shibas a lot and they deserve all the attention and love I can give them. However, loving them and caring for them does not mean I should breed them and breeding them does not say anything about my love and feelings toward them.
