Exactly :( If this passes, I don’t know what I’m going to do, as I have intact females that I have not bred but did want to have one litter out of and part of the reason I have the amount of dogs I do is for specific lineage. What a shame, this really will wipe out whole breeds and specific bloodlines.
Yeah, we are in kind of the same boat, but most of the intact females we have right now are either too young to get their mandatory health screenings and certifications (therefore, we don’t even know if they are worth breeding yet), or are retired and will not be bred again. We really only have two females right now that I would consider “breeding females” and one of these we will probably only breed once. (That is out of 10 intact females we have right now: 3 retired, 5 growing out, 2 ready to breed). Like you, a lot of our dogs we only breed once or twice, for similar reasons that you stated.
Yes, this will play havoc with pure bred dog fanciers. It will destroy it as a hobby/sport, and will decimate breed-specific sports and breed shows, etc.
