More Dogs are Waiting to Have Puppies.....

Salisbury, CT - More dogs are deciding to wait to have puppies according to a new study from the Center for Canine Behavior Studies.

"Like their human companions, more dogs from an increasing diversity of socioeconomic backgrounds are choosing to focus on their education and careers instead of starting a family," CCBS President Nicholas Dodman explained. "These are dogs with more control over their lives, who are less likely to associate being a parent with being a good boy or girl, and they are happy about being able to delay that first litter."

Some dogs are holding off on becoming parents for other reasons, such as the increasing cost of raising a puppy. Barks McCoy, a Golden Retriever who works full time as a subluxation detection dog at a chiropractic clinic in Belvidere, Nebraska, worries about rushing into parenting before he is mature enough to handle the responsibility. "I pooped on the kitchen floor today. As I sat there deciding whether or not to eat my own feces, I suddenly realized that I'm not ready to be a father. I'm just not a serious canine."
