You don't have to sound so obvious about what you do and don't with your dogs. There is nothing wrong with the people that breed their dogs as long as they know what their doing and be ready for any complications.
I agree with you, Michele. The deed is done and her Maltese is pregnant. If some of our members who are experienced breeders can help Olivia's Maltese safely deliver healthy puppies, that is the most important thing right now.Al I can say is maybe Deb and Lacie or Eddie can help her out. They've been through it w/ pregnant rescues. The Malt is pregnant now and nothing can change that,even if we don't agree w/ the method, is there anyone who's had pregnant Malts could help her..
It's not about promoting breeding now,it's about ensuring a healthy mother and babies now and maybe she will stay here and see why we're all so passionate about careful researched breeding on the forum.
I know I'd be scared if one of my Malts were pregnant, even though I used to foster dogs from the shelter that were pregnant,none we as delicate as a Malt...
I know I wouldn't want this to end in tragedy..
Am I wrong? If so, I can take the lumps...
I'm just defensive because people were already being pretty rude when I am new to all of this. People are going to have their own opinions you just don't need to sound like a jerk. You and MANY people wouldn't have their beloved pets if it wasn't for breeding...It isn't right at all when I just want to talk with other pregnant maltese moms. My female I got from my Aunt 3 years ago and the stud is from a friend. They both have been checked by the vet. I already have the puppies sold and plus I am keeping one. I have everything set up if I need to take her to get a C-Section.
I think this says it all, right here. I pray that your little girl doesn't have problems with this litter and that you aren't planning to keep doing this with her or any offspring for any financial gain. That's the definition of a BYB.

I feel the same way. It sickens me.
And nope, Marj, there is not one person on this forum, who can help, "safely deliver healthy puppies", from a BYB.
I do pray the OP reads up, and puts a stop to breeding.
I'll do a search for some links, which might help her.
Once again, OP, I will keep your little ones in my prayers.
Deb and Gang
Well, to answer the question being able to talk to other with a pregnant Maltese owners, you won't find that all too often here. We have maybe two members that breed their dogs, and are active in showing thier dogs for conformation. They only breed once they have achieved champion status via the AKC, and choose matings with extreme care to achieve a desired standard. Many of us do have Malts from so called breeders such as yourself, and have paid a terrible price for that mistake. Some of us have been lucky enough to get educated about the breed, and how to choose a good breeder. If all you are looking for is a place to compare notes with other breeders, you will not be happy with the result . However, now that you dog is pregnant, and you have questions about whelping, then there are a couple of ladies here who can answer your questions. But you are going to take a little flack, and get some universal advice to spay your dog once these pups are born. And to spay and neuter the pups as well. A good breeder does that before sending puppies off to new families to insure they won't be used for breeding purposes.I'm just defensive because people were already being pretty rude when I am new to all of this.

Dogs other than Maltese Oh no...This same person has posted this same message on numerous dog boards.
Oh, dear. You're right.No, same post, multiple places

Well, I don't believe ANY ONE OF US would have a pet, if not for breeding ~ LOL
And yep, I'm being a bit of smartass here. I know you ment many of us would not have our beloved pets if not for BYB's. Well, you're half right, I'll give you that. Most of my beloved pets come from BYB's. The rest come from Mills, with a very small percentage coming from show breeders.
Perhaps I owe you a huge "Thank You". Yep, thank you for the runs to the shelters, all over Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, and San Diego County. Oh, not to mention the beggings for help all over the United States, to pull dogs off the Red List.
LBB: I had no idea, thank you so much, for opening my eyes. You ROCK!
Jops: Oh, stop it, both of you. This is simply a troll post.
Deb: You're right Jops, I just get carried away.
Jops: I know Deb, but I don't want YOU carried away, nor any of our dear friends on this forum. :wub:
