| Gracie - May 18, 2012 Hello, My apologies if this is in the wrong place, but we were thinking of having Gracie brood one liter before getting her spayed. I have heard that this is a wonderful experience and incredible to witness. Is there somewhere to get information on how to go about things, what needs to be done when, etc.? (i.e. how soon can she have a litter -- obviously she has to go in to heat, how/where do I find a good stud for her, after puppies are born what needs to be done, etc.). Thank you in advance. Shelah |

| I agree with Lynzy... Please read the breeders section. There are so many things that could go wrong when breeding. Personally, it would not be worth it to me... I don't wanna lose my girl

| Thank you, I am reading and checking out the breeders section. I know you guys don't know me, but I am a very thorough person and do my research on things before deciding. I want to be well informed, ready, organized and able to cover all my bases. This was just something my boyfriend and I were considering and I don't plan on doing it right away. Yes, she is a little over 4 months and in my eyes, too young even at 6 months. If I am going to do, I want to be as prepared as I can be. |

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | Even a year is too young...is your girl a good representation of the breed...have you a mentor to guide you, breeding is not something to be taken lightly...I too had thoughts of breeding my girl...that is until I found this site...changed my mind right quick and had her spayed. There are just too many things that can go wrong and I love my girl too much to risk her life as well as the lives of the pups she may have had. I would have been devasted if I lost her through my own irresponsibilty just for the sake of what exactly? Sorry I leave that to the ones that have spent the better part of their lives studying the genetics and all the things that go into breeding to better the breed, to take that huge risk with my baby girl. She is just too precious to me. From what I am understanding this was once a hardy breed...there has been so much devastation through ppl either just wanting to make a quick buck, or just wanting cute puppies, or whatever the reasoning is....this has caused this breed to deteriorate ....Take a look at the sick and injured section...you will see what I mean. AAI, Legges Perthes, Colapsing Trachea, Slipping Patellas, the list goes on. These poor babies are suffering at the hands of bad breeders...I am not saying you are a bad breeder, I am saying please read, read, research and read some more before you slide down that slippery slope....
