Get your tissues, cause this is gonna be a sad one
I feel lost, frustrated, sad.
Some tests ruled out an excellent frenchie I had in mind for my breeding program. And it’s not even that which’s making me sad, what really gets on my nerves is that not one tenth of the breeders scans dogs in this country. Well, the other person who scans I already know and respect a lot, but no one else. Which means that I’ll have to look elsewhere to get frenchies. But, oh wait. No decent breeders will have anything to do with Brazil, because of the backyard breeders and the infamous personality that most breeders have here.
Sometimes I wonder how I can call myself a breeder, if I breed next to nothing, and now only God knows when I’ll have a litter. How can I call myself a breeder with two or three frenchies?
But then sometimes… Sometimes I just sit and wait. Because I’d rather not do it at all than do it the wrong way. Maybe this bad fame I inherited from the place I live will turn around, and I hope I’m a part of that.
Until then… No pup for you, Vivz.

Vivianne, a breeder is not defined by the numbers of litters they breed, but rather by the quality of the litters they breed.
Some of the best breeders I’ve ever known — best, meaning: ethical, driven, caring, producers of quality dogs — rarely breed more than one litter every two to three years.
Remember, the world is a big place. Look beyond your own borders, if you can’t find what you need at home. You can have semen shipped from any place in the world now. Personally, I’m planning a breeding to a dog who is in the UK.
