Does this sound right?

Vinny's the first we got from a breeder and we did our homework on them etc and were happy. Now I have just received a message from them saying that Vinny's dad and one of his litter sisters have had a litter (and Vinny's littler only turned 6 months about 2 weeks ago). Sure she's too young to have had a litter?

Not only too young, but with her father? That's absolutely not on! Inbreeding at its worse!

I am furious to say the least I feel like they got money hungry after the last litter. I bet if you asked they'd say something like "suuuure, take a pup at 5 or 6 weeks if you have the cash"

Some people!

Aww poor girl being bred so quickly, some people

Yea agreement here, that is awful in too many ways.

Very dissapointed in them

How sad

NO that does not sound right at all to me and I know nothing about breeding Just totally confused

I feel utterly sick.

Inbreeding and too young, that's horrible

Poor girl

So I am *hoping* what I have been told is true: they say that they have another female but because their 2 females didn't get along a family member has the other female and she is the one who has had a litter. I really, really hope this is true but will try and do some more snooping.

OMG thats disgusting poor little girl. I think all the issues around breeding protocols etc are very much in the limelight with us because of BYB, rescues etc and I kknow we are told you don't have the same issues over there but it is still so wrong wrong wrong

I don't know about not having the same issues Dave, I honestly think that over your side people are far more proactive and aware. Over here there is sometimes a "couldn't care less attitude." In SA too many people have dogs purely as security and not as family members and I know I bore people to tears talking about my "kids," but that's where my couldn't-care-less attitude comes in - don't like hearing about my kids? Go away!
