OK I have a question. I am new here and have been reading things on this site to get to know my boxer friend better. My husband and I love the breed and have just gotten our first Boxer from a women who could no longer keep her. She is 3 years old and AMAZINGLY well behaved. She was never trained in anyway (sit ,stay, walk on a leash, bla bla bla basic obedience) but she is doing well for us.
I have read in a few places here about backyard breeding being someone who breeds well...basically their dog. I plan on breeding Mazey. Does that make me a bad person? A so called backyard breeder? If so? If I am/would be considered that, then who has the right to breed? I am guessing noone. Why should anyone breed any dog then? In which case why do we all own pure breed boxers? Isn't that supporting some form of "Boxer Breeding"?
I have been asked several times to breed my German Shepherd. Sometimes even BEGGED to do so. He is not old enough and I have not done so. I am still not sure if I will breed him ever or not. He is only 8 months old. People always think he is older cause he is HUGE.
I understand the the thing about people breeding tons of dogs at home and just "Letting" them breed and not taking care of them..THAT IS SICK. BUT what if I want to breed my boxer. Does that make me a bad person too? I personally feel all mix breed pups should be fixed. WHY let them breed and give away their pups? If you own a dog you should watch the pup to be sure it is not breeding when you do not want it to and to a dog you do not want it too.
Does any of this post make any sence? I am not for people just breeding their dogs, but what if I want to? Does that make me a bad person?
