There are also several considerations, including significant expenditures of both time & money - that REPUTABLE breeders assume whenever they choose to breed a litter. Many of these responsibilities begin YEARS before the first litter is whelped. Please read the articles below which will provide insight into why the decision to breed must not be taken lightly.

PLEASE conduct internet research BEFORE you are confronted with an emergency. Disaster and emergency situations require fast and precise action and treatment to assure the best outcome for your pet. Discuss potential situations with your vet and find out what they suggest for your specific dog and about their clinic's emergency and after-hours procedures, before you are confronted with a situation. Time is of the essence when your pet is lost. Begin searching for your pet as quickly as possible. Use a map and notebook to refer to and log your steps. Take a photograph and create flyers, if even simple ones. Leave your name and phone number with the people you contact and post flyers in locations you visit - especially gas stations/quick marts, animal shelters, grocery and pet supply stores, and veterinary clinics. Enlist help from family, friends and neighbors, to cover and monitor more ground, as efficiently as possible.

You will often find email list memberships represent a vast spectrum of interests, knowledge and experience. Usually, the lists are open to all, however, may only be able to support a limited number of members. Some even have their own websites! Be sure to read the list's introduction and rules (normally received upon subscription) prior to posting. Most lists request that you introduce yourself. It may also prove helpful if you provide a little background information on why you've joined the list. The Pet Action League's Libary contains a collection of articles pet rescue that will be of interest to prospective and current owners and rescue workers. For years, Wegman's Food Markets has been producing a weekly Pet Gazette. One year's archives are available online for visitors. A wide variety of topics are covered. RingWorld's Pets Listing of Webrings It's hard to find a page without a webring banner these days. While webrings provide a convenient way to visit several related sites, some have little or no requirements for inclusion. Therefore, it is important that you verify and weigh, carefully, any information you may encounter when visiting sites through large 'free for all' link indexes or webrings. |
