[quote=Katwoman]Gary you really think any serious Neapolitan breeder is going to give this thread the time of day? The tone of the thread and the forum in general is anything but open to real experience with the breed. Jessica, although your story is sad, sad your inexperience put those two dogs through their ordeal. You are a poster child for BYB'er. You bought your Neo's from two well known breeders, did you ever consult them to gauge their breeding merit? Since you are a self proclaimed show person what titles have they won? You stated you bought your dogs out of champion lines.......did you health test your stock prior to breeding them? I am sure they have been OFA'd or Penn-Hip'd correct? You state your focus is performance, so they must be titled in something? So you breed them based on? People like you shouldn't breed dogs because you haven't put forth the effort. Your facts are wrong, you have the best chance of conception with Natural conception then Surgical Insemination then Artifical Insemination. Your inexperience should have lead you to either get one of the two(if not both breeders) to mentor you or you should have left the dog in the capable hands of a vet for whelping. The amount of type had nothing to do with your inexperience in mating, pre-natal care, labor and whelping. I hope no one ever sells you another Neapolitan and that you fix the two you have.[/quote] So Kat-Care to share YOUR story ABOUT HOW YOU LOST YOUR LITTER AND ALLOWED YOUR BITCH TO CARRY FOR 67 DAYS?! Is THAT CORRECT....Please TELL US YOUR EXPERIENCE? WHY WASN'T YOUR BITCH LEFT AT THE VET SINCE YOUR NOT ABLE TO HANDLE IT EITHER?! AND What about Linda Young?! PLEASE Since YOU want to rip a stranger apart for nothing...eh' maybe you should fix your bitch too huh?
