Hi Crystal , If you have any reservations then do your homework. READ , READ, READ, look around and yes there are risks.. I had my girl spayed.. Killed me to do it but my motto is if you have a terrible time then I don't want to put you through that again for my gain.. I do however have some girls that do fine..
JMO I feel that I would never mix breed., and I only breed registered dogs.. NOw that is only my opinion. So it isn't anything .It is my standard.. I do however feel that the mix breeding is wrong but I would never say anything to the person doing it unless they ask my opinion.
