No hateful comments but if you're serious about doing this you need to start off right. You should care about whether your foundation bitch comes from champion lines or not, it's important to know that her line holds the standard. Do not put a deposit on a puppy before 8 weeks old and only after it has been evaluated by an experienced exhibitor/breeder or a judge. Find a female who is closely linebred so that you'll know what to expect of her get. Study the differences betweeen linebreeding, inbreeding, and out crossing and the benefits of each. It won't be easy to get an excellent female worthy to start your line with but it's so important, otherwise you'll just find yourself starting all over again later. Go to as many shows as possible and meet the exhibitors/breeders. Learn the standard, know your breed. There are people who decide to breed that pop up every day. This breed sells for good money right now so everyone wants in on the action and the market is beginning to saturate. If you want to be successful you'll need to have something that stands out. Start with the best quality that you can afford and get to know the dog fanciers. Good luck!
