I do not try to scare people away from breeding by saying they can lose their bitch...of course you can, but in 35 yrs I have lost one...so the percentage is very low.

In order to keep your percentages very low you have to prepare and do your homework. Use the correct stud with a breed size, quality bitch..work hand-in-hand with your vet..(You must have a breeder friendly vet for a good outcome). Invest in the right equipment, know what to do to insure the best results in the breeding, gestation, whelping and raising of the litter...this is accomplished by reading, studying, talking with other breeders, going to dog shows..that usually stumps people when I say it, but how can you learn to breed a good dog, if you skip the basic's?
