Why is it a "no biggie" that your pups died?
Why would you send them to your cousin, who (apparently) is SO BIG OF A PIECE OF SHIT that you say, "Of course" the pups placed with him died?
Why would someone buy a dog from you, a self-admitted "weekend warrior, backyard breeder," as a way into the fast lane?
People who bought dogs from me always said what they had was "better than what I had" ... that is always the way of idiot-owners.
I don't know about "right or wrong," but it sounds like you have several thinking disorders, have retards for associates, and can't seem to realize all of this on your own.
If you want to match your dogs into nobodies, that is your right.
To me, the only thing that's "wrong" is you putting your pups with your POS cousin, apparently knowing he is a POS that can't take care of dogs, only to let your pups suffer/die to neglect.
Have you ever thought about WHAT IT'S LIKE to waste away due to neglect (lack of food/water/medicine needed)?
This is called SUFFERING ... and it is FUCKING WRONG to place your pups in a situation where YOU KNOW they are going to suffer like this
These dogs/pups have no way out of their situation. We all make mistakes of placement, but to purposely place your dogs in shitty hands makes you as guilty of neglect as the hands you placed them in.
