Also make sure to pass on to your friend that spaying and neutering is a great idea, approximately six million animals are put to sleep each year in shelters because homes cannot be found for them and it’s only getting worse as the economy declines. In addition to this fact, breeding without knowledge of a dog’s titles and linear genetics can result in devastating effects which can cripple your puppy for his or her entire life including aggression, blindness, poor temperament, a proclivity for certain defects of major organs, skin allergies, and joint malformations…just ask Techdog about his hip dysplasia.
