I have shepherd and nordic dogs. All females. All are purebred, several have pedigrees, some do not. I not breed them. This is my pack, my females, only I can have sex with them.
But they can't get pregnant from me.
I know there is artificial insemination. But never. In vain the sperm arrives in a glass tube and is injected into the uterus through a silicone tube, and not mate. My beauties are not touched by a male dog. But.... A male dog's sperm is swimming in my beauties uterus. And the puppies are not mine. Never. They don't breed by insemination either.
I don't want to expose them to the difficulties of childbirth and breastfeeding, pain, possible complications, ugly swollen, hanging breasts. And you have to take responsibility for the puppies, if I can't sell them all, if one of them gets sick, I don't know for sure what kind of person will buy them...
I know dogs and keeping dogs very well, I also have a good sense of canine things and breeding. I know them genetically, biologically, from the point of view of diseases, and also based on breed-specific aspects. But I would never be a breeder. I would never take them to shows and competitions. This lifestyle is very far from me.
