Guest busterdog Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 If it's true that your a trained or are training to be a vet then i'de say your opinions and advice would be priceless. If i had a bitch of that age that was the last of a line or the best of an on going line then i'de take the chance. The dogs we keep are priceless and as long as there are vets to guide you and help out i personaly can't see any problem. As for the banter on here lol, i lost two years sleep when i first came on, don't take it personal or you'll go down the same path. 3 Quote Link to post
Flick75 32 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks Buster. I appreciate that. And I know exactly what you're saying re: breeding from an older bitch. I just disagreed with FTB's opinion...he didn't know the bitch's age, just that she was at least 8 years old, he never mentioned her health or veterinary advice....it annoyed me that he would give such blasé advice. As someone else said, the end result may be a C delivery....if the bitch is owned by a good and knowledgeable dog man, then that's all well and good....he'd care for her and monitor her closely. However, if the bitch is owned by an idiot, it could be a very different story. Thanks again.. Quote Link to post

MUDD 374 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I still stand with my original statement. Quote Link to post
lawrence 657 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 8 is not too old, if the bitch is fit and healthy she will be sound. i agree with you Mudd, not much to be added to this thread after your first post. Quote Link to post
