Ok, I'd like to put in my 2 cents here. First I find if very interesting that
you have jumped to all kinds of conclutions. I haven't seen you once ask any
questions. Just went right into what she is doing is wrong. I think there
are better ways to educate than to start the blame game. That said, I have a
little story to tell.
I volunteer with a greyhound adotion group. About a year and a half ago a
chapter of our group got a dog in from Mexico. One of the females looked a
bit over weight. When she went in for her exame it turned out she was
pregnent. She had 10 to 12 pups, I don't remember the exact amout. The pups
were raised and put up for adoption through the adoption group in that area.
No were in the woman's email does she say anything about a cost for these
dogs. Without asking questions we don't know that she is trying to sell them.
There are alot of great helpful people on this list, I'm sure your one of
them and you just want to see what is best for these dogs. Let's help rather
than attack! Thank you for your time! Angelika/Anne

am NOT against breeding (a well planned breeding with home already lined up)
but she had to know that the dog was preggers before now.
I am not saying pups don't need good homes, 'cause they do.
Just that people need to be responsable for their actions...You'd better
believe that if I ever breed a litter, I would be doing background checks on
ANYONE interested in one of my pups and making them sign a contract that the
dogs come BACK to me if they EVER don't want them/can't care for them. And
I'd make sure I have at least 4 owners lined up before I bred the bitch.

Mark,
Well said, personally, I respect the breeder/owner that tries to find homes
for their unwanted or accidental breedings rather than destroy them out of
hand. This, at least in my book, is a good thing.
I've just lost my Ambush, I've also dealt with one of these 40 mph termites
before. They are wonderous, glorious things to see, just pray you don't have
much woodwork, (chairs, etc.) in your home for them to get their little razor
sharp teeth on....LOL...
I'm thinking about this. I know Whitney would love to have a real greyhound
pupper of her own to baby instead of the IG's, but......I'm not sure I'm ready
to do this...
I think we should try to help this lady out and find homes for these little
ones, and pray heavily for those who recieve them...<EG>..

Please,
Calm Thyselves. Leap not to conclusions prior to knowing circumstances.
You may be correct in your surmissions, but there is no reason to act peevish.
This person is at least trying to line up homes for the pups rather than
destroying them out of hand, sending them to a kill shelter, or dumping them
by the side of the road.
Lady Aria, that the queen mother would part with her grandpups earlier
than you deem responsible is immaterial to the current issue of finding them a
home. A less than properly socialized grey pup (based on your standards) is
better than one which gets sent to an animal research lab, regardless of
circumstance.
The notice hit both this list and the other coursing list. Given the
e-mail addy, they hit the yahoogroups first or joined in order to get the word
out. Yes there are irresponsible breeders out there. But let us deal with fact
rather than supposition.
If these pups go to list members, it is likely a good happenstance. There
are those who have just lost hounds who might see this as providence, or
serendipity. Yes, greyhound puppies are as crazy as weimeraner (sic) pups, but
I loved mine all the same even when he learned to open gates, ate concrete and
nested in the couch.
