True, but you can make appropriate decisions depending upon your lifestyle, that's all I'm saying.

Nobody should have to be in that position NOT to have chidlren or a dog, JUST because they rent !!
For those with negative comments, I truly hope you are never in this postition of insecurity for life ! It's devastating, so please don't judge !
I don't think I have been unfair or negative at all, (I don't recall judging anyone either?) I'm purely concerned for the welfare of the puppies. Dogs living in a tent is no problem, puppies is another matter! All I'm saying is, if it were me, I wouldn't breed if renting as I think it's not in the best interests of the dog/s. At the end of the day, when you rent and have dogs you have to play buy the house owners rules, only so many dogs etc. Having 5/6 dogs AND breeding when renting IMO is not a good thing.
I hope I'm never in this situation either.

Sorry Stormey I disagree. Who has the right to question Becky about why she bred her dogs, in the first place ?!
I can understand anyone who sympathises and wishes Becky well etc, but why question her at all ? Becky is a responsible person, which everyone here knows regarding her dogs, she wouldnt have done something irresponsible without thinking it through and not knowing what the future holds, could not have possibly forseen this predicament she's in now. If it was someone we didn't know, fair enough, but everyone here knows Becky and that's why it was uneccessary.
So, I disagree with the insensitive questioning in the first place, that is my perrogative !
I'm supportive of Becky Stormey, you are the only one arguing about a question that was unwarranted.
I'll leave it there before you decide to PM me about your grievances again !
No it wasn't, it was a question followed by my thoughts on what I would've done/what should've been done eg
my opinion.
Not insensitive either, I would give you an indication of an insensitive post, but it's not in my nature to be unecessarily rude.
And why question? Because when we're concerned about something we should shout out loud so that we can change things. Right?!
I just hope that by raising my concerns it might make some people think twice about breeding/keeping a lot of dogs when renting etc.
I don't regret anything I have said, my sole concern is for puppies and how they are cared for etc. Everything I say stems directly from that premise. If I think someone is behaving in such a manner that means they have put a dogs/puppies life, or indeed dogs in general, at risk then I will say so.
If people don't like it then they should really think hard about what they say on a public forum.
I am totally 100% commited to responsible dog ownership/breeding and anything else associated with dogs but this is for the dogs sake not peoples.
