I obviously don't know much about....much, lol, but, screw what those other jerks are saying. I know, easier said then done, but try your best not to listen.
I mean, from me, just a pet person, reading that you don't usually have the bitches bred more than twice is HUGE. That tells me that you actually care. Know what I mean? I don't think anyone would ever put you in with the puppymillers. If anyone did say something like that, they are just being an a-hole. Maybe trying to get you riled up for one reason or another??
And reading "felt that a bitch needed to be a superior producer of quality"...that is how is should be!
Just see what happens on the 9th, and go from there. What is the recovery time for a heart transplant? Maybe you can have one more litter before then, and you can keep a couple of the pups.
I don't doubt that you will do what's right. Pretty please try not to listen to others, when it comes to your breeding "practices". Whatev.
