REPRODUCTION VERSUS BREEDING BETTER DOBERMANS
The point of this piece is that there are two issues here to be explained. The first topic of "REPRODUCTION" involves the mating or coming together of a male and a female to create new life---in the context of our article---puppies. There is no qualifications or standards imposed on this "act", as ANY male and female Doberman CAN be mated/bred to have a litter of puppies. The "bigger" question is *WHY*??
PRODUCING MORE PUPPIES in this critical time, the 21st CENTURY, where there are thousands of Dobermans in Shelters, Humane Societies and Rescues all over the Country seems a most inhumane and cruel thing to do.
Having a litter of puppies should NEVER be to----MAKE SOME SPENDING MONEY---LET THE "KIDS SEE HOW THE "BIRDS & BEES" OPERATE----BECAUSE PUPPIES ARE SO CUTE----BECAUSE ALL MY FRIENDS WANT ONE---because the result is that there are tiny, cute, innocent Doberman puppies being put to sleep EVERY DAY in this Country. This is not to mention the young adults, adults and seniors that are DUMPED. Some end up in POUNDS and on the STREETS to suffer, get maimed or abused.
**EVERY DOBERMAN PET PUPPY** SHOULD BE **SPAYED OR NEUTERED**----WITHOUT EXCEPTION!
BREEDING BETTER DOBERMANS is the "goal" of *reputable, conscientious and careful* breeders that seek to breed for the "IDEAL" Doberman as described in the DOBERMAN STANDARD as approved by the DPCA and the American Kennel Club. Below is the site to access the "THE DOBERMAN STANDARD".
