Someone else's post got me thinking about accidental litters

[Emoore]

It really never ceases to amuse me how many families accidentally have two purebred, registered dogs of the same sex and accidentally don't have either one fixed and accidentally leave them together when the bitch is in heat and accidentally don't get a mismate shot, so they can accidentally list them in the paper for a couple hundred bucks a pop and accidentally make a tidy profit.

Because, you know, if you say "oops" it makes you a better person than those nasty breeders who do all those unnecessary tests and shows and events, just so they can jack up the price.

"We're not breeders, we just had this accidental litter between our two AKC registered dogs and we feel terrible about it. . . that'll be four hundred dollars please."

For the love of God, just tell the truth. It seemed like an easy way to make extra money without having to. . . you know. . . do work.

I mean different sexes. If they could do it with the same sex they deserve whatever profit they can get.

I've been hoping for some puppies from Sherman and Kaos but neither one of them will cooperate!! As to your OP I agree 100%.....our Craigslist and rescues are full of "accidental" litters.

I know. I always tell people, "There are no OOPS".
Did you take BIOLOGY in high school and do you realize that two animals of opposite sex WILL breed? Ever hear about the birds and the bees??
I've caused a couple red faces over those questions (in that context).

This is exactly why I get uncomfortable when people espouse waiting until after maturity to spay/neuter. I don't think the general public is savvy or responsible enough to keep intact animals without an accidental pregnancy occurring at some point... I think most of the regular posters HERE are, but I don't think we are representative of the pet-owning majority.

Sorta like people who "didn't plan" to get pregnant, it "just happpened". Um, if you're having sex without using birth control it's only a matter of time! If you're not planning NOT to get pregnant then you ARE planning TO get pregnant whether you want to think of it that way or not. Barring known fertility issues, of course.

Yeah, no lie. My sister-in-law had uterine cancer after her first two were born and was told she could not conceive again. Now she's 40 with an 20 year old, an 18 year old, and a 12-week old.
