Like everyone else, I caution you on breeding her. Not because she is purebred or all that other stuff, but because you love her and bad things can happen to girls when they are pregnant and during birth.
Also, whelping and caring for pups is not just her job, it's yours. If you work, it will be hard. I have my own business and can take off the first week or two and then take babies in with me. You may also be up a lot at night. My girl doesn't like to sleep with the pups all night, so I have to put a very low heating pad under the box to help the pups stay warm. This can mean getting up every couple hours to check on them, let mom nurse, and reset the heating pad. Raising babies is a lot more work than you might think.
Do lots of reading and preparing and know that pups are a LOT of work to do right. Good luck to you and coco. |
thank you for your post im taking a lot of things into consideration and a job is one of them i dont work and havent been employed for the past 6 months instead im going to start school to be a veterinarian
If for some reason i do get a job 7 months from now when coco is in heat i probably wont breed her because i wouldnt have the time
but if i stay unemployed like this then yes i would have all the time in the world lol cause i dont do anything all day or night lol
i am also thinking about all the risks involved
