Hello everyone, I am a newbie here!!!
I am owned by 6 wonderful Pins right now, 2 Female adults and 4 small pups.
My first MinPin I got as a birthday present, a female, Huski. I wanted a companion for her but didn't want her to have pups, so I bought another female, Candy. Huski went to the bridge when she was 1 from a fall and at that time I already had a Golden Ret. and a Shih Tzu. That's when I decided to get another Pin, that's when Sugar came. She was a real beauty, very intelligent. I love the way she could roll over and play dead on command, cuz this breed is not easy to train.
I became deeply in love with this breed (who wouldn't??) and got another one from the same breeder I got Huski from. She was Gendis. Not enough, I bought my first male, Karlo, who is Gendis's half brother (same father, 1 year younger).
When Karlo turned 1, they had an "oopsie" litter. Only 1 pup was born and I named him Larry. He was brown, just like his father. The vet said something is wrong with him since he has the same grandfather (inbreeding) and he died at 2 months old.
Sugar passed to the bridge too. I was at school and got a phone call that Sugar died. I aksed what happened and no one answered, she just died.. I immediately told them to bring her body to the vet so they can figure out what caused her death but they already burried her.
About 3 months ago, Gendis came into heat. I placed her in a diff area so she and Karlo couldn't have another oopsie litter but something really really bad happened. Gendis was outside and I was asleep, she ran away (someone didn't close the gate properly) and I figure probably Karlo knew and went after her. I woke up and started panicking, sent posters emails called everyone with no result. 2 weeks later a man who saw the poster and wanted the reward came to me and gave me Gendis. I asked about Karlo and he just said I don't care I just want my money. I figure since I live in a not so dog friendly country Karlo was worth a lot of money since he is a real great dog and Gendis had a skin disease so no one wanted her.
I went to the vet to have her checked out but the vet said she was pregnant. I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy that I would have a mini Karlo but sad cuz I could have prevented this by spaying her. But I live in Indonesia where dogs aren't loved and cared for like in America or Europe. Fixing dogs happens only like once a month and since they are small dogs I wouldn't want to risk their life by doing something I am not sure about. And that was even before I knew things about diseases or cancer. I scheduled an appointment for Gendis's spay a day before she disappeared and I missed that chance cuz she was in heat. She had 4 pups, 1 born here, 1 died cuz it has been inside too long and was born leg first and is soo big, the other 2 was born through C section. The 3 remaining pups now called Syllo, Sierra and Sukie is doing GREAT.
Next is Candy's pups. I was sooo busy with my final exam at school and didn't really pay much attention to my dogs since my mom said if I fail we need to get rid of all the dogs. I told her ok, and I didn't know Candy was in heat. She was with Karlo at that time and since mom doesn't allow dogs indoors since my brother has asthma, they are placed in the garage(transformed into doggy land). From that litter, Candy had 3. The runt died the next day after I gave him milk every 2 hours. The second pup died when he was over 1 month old and her remaining pup, named Syva, is being hand raised.
I have had over 50 dogs in total, I rescue dogs people don't want and off the streets. My birthday was last week and what I want is for someone to help me with spaying fees.
Hope from this you could all get to know me better.
