I don't want to be cruel to my baby or get a different dog.
Thanks.
PS- I think his dad was only 3 or 5 lbs and his mom was about 5, also... I dont get why he is soo big! |
First: Your statement that you "are thinking about getting into the business" concerns me. Breeding is all about improving the breed and not about making money. So you need to start with changing your mind set.
Second: Study the Standard and breed for that; and the best way to verify that your dog is a specimen for breeding is to show him. JMO
