Dog Breeding

Dog Breeding

If you've ever admired your own dog or the litter of a friends' dog, you will have probably thought of breeding your own dog.

There seem to be so many differing opinions on whether you should or shouldn't breed that I thought I'd run through some of them.

Some questions I had when considering whether or not to breed my dog were;

  • What costs were involved ?
  • What risks were there for my dog ?
  • What happens if there are complications ?
  • How do you choose a mate ?
  • Why would I breed my dog ?
  • Can you make money ?
  • Why are so many breeders discouraging me ?
  • What's the difference between purebred & registered, and plain purebred ?
My first stop was reading about the subject. I popped down to the local library, but the book that really opened my eyes was This One.
This eBook called DOG BREEDER 101 was not only straight forward, but it was pleasantly Non-condecsending !!
( Plus it has free stuff like whelping charts and other cool things.)

I'll go more into each question soon,

Lincoln.
