Backup breedings
|  Duckie || Songbird Shelties || -college-ing- October 28th, 2013 12:38:46am 815 Posts | Backup breedings - do you do them? Even if there is no interest in buying your backups, do you still breed them? |

|  • BlackFire • October 29th, 2013 12:13:38pm 307 Posts | Yep I still do backups. I am soo paranoid I will forget to do their final breeding haha |

 But I'd breed dogs at 13 and horses at 18 if I were to do backups. | 
|  Absinthe .:.Main.:. October 29th, 2013 6:55:50pm 552 Posts | Yep. I do backups and if they aren't sold by the time they turn 4 (or 3 in the case of dogs) I delete them.  | 
|  Fantasy-It is that feeling when you are not sad but just feeling empty October 29th, 2013 8:39:37pm 99 Posts | I usually always breed 2 times. that way if i forget the last breeding - which lately is more common for me - at least i still have the line going. Sometimes i sell the backup. But most often i don't |
