Congrats on the possible litter :) I know how you feel about the guilt. My Cavalier isn't KC so I won't be breeding her obviously, but in the future I really want to get into showing and breeding my own line. I love the idea of finding loving homes for little puppies and watching them grow etc. But I think no matter what it is that you're doing theres always going to be rescues.
Might sound stupid, but whenever someone moans to me because I like to go to Crufts etc, I tell them this. If there wasn't specific breeds of dogs, there would be more dogs in shelters. People go for breeds because they know the size/personality they're going to be getting. Dogs end up in shelters because they're not compatible with their owners. This would happen more if there was no breeds :)
