* Responsible breeding practices: Responsible breeders carefully plan matings to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and puppies. They may only breed their dogs once or twice in their lifetime.
* Ownership and living situation: Dogs in loving homes may not be bred at all.
* Unwanted litters: Unfortunately, unplanned pregnancies can happen, leading to an increase in unwanted puppies in shelters.
It's important to focus on responsible dog ownership, which includes spaying or neutering pets to prevent unwanted litters.
If you have any questions about responsible breeding or dog ownership, please consult a veterinarian or a reputable dog breeder.
