Why is it that you have decided to breed your gal. Has she been proven in the show ring? Has she been tested for genetic health issues? Have you thoroughly studied her pedigree? Are you aware of all the risks and health issues involved? Do you have a mentor or someone to help you during the whelping process? Are you prepared to loose the mom and have to hand raise the pups? If your gal will not make a contribution to improving the breed please rethink breeding her. Our breed is already being over bred and the standard is being sorely compromised.
