How can I let my parents let my dog breed?

I really have a cute dog. She is a sheltie sheepdog purebred, she is 3 years old and I want her to breed so we can keep a puppy and sell the rest. But my parents don't want her to breed at all. But I pitched in 200$ of my money to help afford my dog and I really want some of my money back. Can someone give me advise on what I could say to get them to breed her? I think it would be a great idea, but hard work.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with your parents. I'm interning at the Humane Society starting August 20, and am hoping for a career in the management of animal shelters.

For every puppy born, three die in shelters. There are too many out there and not enough homes for them all.

If this is not enough reasons to stop you from breeding your dog, then here are a few more:

Complications in birth and pregnancies happen all the time. You could face losing your dog to death, and all the puppies with her. Will YOU pay the $1200.00 for a much-needed emergency cesarean section when she cannot deliver the pups?

What about sexually-transmitted diseases? That stud dog you had picked out may have one. They are more common than you think.

How about genetic diseases? They abound.

Breeding is not a careless affair, it is so much more than bringing b*tch and stud together during a heat cycle.

Please think it over carefully.
