I originally bought Bella appx. 4 yrs ago with thoughts of breeding, but nothing for sure and I have put a ton of time into researching and making that decision.
About 2 years ago I bought my male Sachi for the stud, I was not able to find a stud around here.
Well, ends up his breeder was awful and although I love him more than anything, I did not want to pass off his "flaws" to any pups, so I had him neutered.
This past summer, I planned to breed Bella and literally about a month before her heat when I was going to breed, she became deathly ill. Long story short, she has addisons disease and I cannot breed her.
So now I have contacted a show breeder with gorgeous dogs and am seriously considering getting a 3rd dog - I am basically starting over and plan to possibly get into showing and will then plan breeding within 2 years.
I am freaked because I will then have 3 dogs!!! 2 females, 1 male.
It sounds like sooo much work to have 3?? I know a lot of you have 3 + and would like your input.
Becoming a breeder has been my dream and I was truly devastated when Bella became ill (although I am so grateful she is healthy now).
Any (non-judmental) thoughts/advise???
