Hi Tabztabz2711 said:Hi Everyone dare I mention why I had my girls neutered, because the breeder made me sign a declaration that we would have her neutered and we were not allowed to breed from her. If would not have been able to have her if we did not sign it and as an honest person when I sign something I have to act on it.
I also felt that I could not 100% trust that she would never excape with the seven children I had at the time, 4 of my own(before someone starts on me being neutered) and 3 foster children. However protected the garden is dogs and kiddies sometimes manage to escape. I would have hated her to have had pups and not know who the father was. BUt the jist of it all was I really didn't have a choice as we said that we would neuter her. How many whippet breeders ask the new owners to neuter is this a regulary request or just I choose the wrong breeder.
In our puppy contracts we have a declaration that says the puppies will NOT be spayed or neutered unless for medical reasons and if every they should decide to breed from the dog or bitch we must be consulted.
We also endorse our puppies pedigrees 'not for export' and if for any reason the dog or bitch needs to be rehomed for what ever reason it comes back to us.
We believe when you breed a litter you are responsible for the well being of the pups for life and not just for the duration they are with you.
