I moved in a house with other house mates. I had moved my dog in and they told me there female dog had just got outta heat recently, so we thought it would be fine to wait a while to save up money to get my male fixed.
Well the female turned out to be preggy. She had her pups and about 2 weeks later my mom asked if she could have my dog, so I gave him to her (since he paid for him.) of course everyone told me I could get a new puppy. So I decided why don’t I keep one of my dogs pups?
When then the household decided they didn’t want any of that breed in the backyard. Okay… so we decided to find new homes for all the puppy’s. So my step father called me and I told him he could come pick on up. (decided the biggest one would be best for him my step dad is a wonderful dog owner. So he was going to go to a good home.)
Then the “Father” of my household decided HE wanted to keep the biggest pup around. I was thinking I would be able to keep/name/train/ect the pup so we hid it from my step father and gave him another one.
Well as it turned out, the “Father” of the house wanted the pup, he now claims its “HIS” dog. This morning his g/f told me “Don’t feed the puppy-hes doing special training with him.”
Um excuse me?!
I’m a little offended. Normally doesn’t the “male” owner get 1st pick and most the time they pick the biggest pup?
oh uh sorry if it was confusing.
They told me we couldn’t get any ‘Pits’ and all the pups were half pit. this was the reason they wouldn’t let me keep one. Then they decided THEY were going to keep one. The one I was going to give to my step father. But we hid it from him because I thought “I” was going to be able to keep it.
Well it trun’s out the owner of the female decdied HE was going to keep that pup, and no-one else could keep any.

Dog Breeding Rules
1. Usually a responsible breeder has a contract that says who gets what… whether its money or pick of the litter.
2. If there is no contract the owner of the b*tch decides which pups go where.
3. Biggest puppy means NOTHING. I have never had the biggest pup end up being the largest adult… and frankly, most of the time the biggest pup didn’t have the best structure or temperament.
I’m a little offended. Normally doesn’t the “male” owner get 1st pick? If there is a contract stating that they get pick of the litter instead of stud fee (the cost of one puppy)
and most the time they pick the biggest pup? Not always. They pick the pup they think will best fit what they are looking for. Largest of the litter as a puppy doesn’t mean largest when they are all grown.
-Normally, yes. but in this case, the breeding was by mistake, so no rules set out in the beginning. Sounds like a sad way to end a friendship to me! There is not a real answer as there was no agreement before the breeding.
Good luck- hope you all can figure it out for the good of you, your friends, AND the dog!
That was so hard to read….but what I got from it is that you wanted one of the pups, and someone else took him? Well if he was microchipped in your name, then he is your dog, if not, then there really is no case….
There are no rules that I am aware of for the uninformed breeding.
