Yes that was my intention when I bought them. I think I had a case of the empty nest syndrome. My 4 kids are all about a year apart and we were super busy then they all moved out. . I quit my parttime job to help care for my grand-daughter and was so bored. I started reading up on breeding and ended up buying 3 puppies. They are our babies and if the breeding part never happens its ok. Our house is active again.
