(3,231 posts)21. My contract
Requires spaying and neutering of all pets. Obviously, not all dogs I breed are placed as pets. Select few from each litter end up going to show homes, where if they prove they meet the requirements for breeding (health, temperament and confirmation, in that order) then they go on to parent the next generation.
I don't place show dogs in homes who kennel, either. My show dogs live the lives of pets who show for a small portion of their lives. In fact, right now in my bed, there is a 15 year old, a 10 year old, an 8 year old and a 4 year old, lounging around and leaving fur everywhere. The youngest and the great grandmother of the youngest are sleeping together in the sun right outside the window from where I am typing this.

not necessarily - have a "highway" kitten that was spayed at two months - maybe younger

Who's arguing for no pets, i.e. the extinction of the domestic dog and house cat?

It is already happening at many Humane Societies, such as those in the Pacific Northwest.

That's the real goal of animal rights people, but they won't tell you the truth.
