I am a pet owner, and I wouldn't want to breed my babies because they are my pets, and I wouldn't want to put them through any risks, or be stuck raising puppies that I don't know how to raise. Whatever your decision is though, just make sure you do a lot of research, there's so much more to breeding then the obvious. Good luck in your decision!

One more thing, with your pet overpopulation question, I think the breeders say that to mainly a lot of people who just want puppies, or their friends want a dog like theirs, etc. I don't think they ever meant that their puppies are more desirable then anothers. This is just my guess though, like I said I'm not a breeder, so maybe a breeder can correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh, I have no clue if I will ever breed my girl. We may at some point if we feel we are capable and know enough. We'd sure like to have a litter though. We shall see.
