Ok!
Will attempt to provide you with as much information that we can.
Breeding when done correctly is a long hard journey. It takes years and years of study.
Obtaining good dogs from a reputable, responsible breeder takes time. And most will not just hand over a breeding pair to just anyone, just because they want to breed. To put in bluntly, if your intentions were revealed to them that all you want to do is breed to sell puppies, you probably wouldn't get a dog from them let alone two. There is much more they expect more from a potential new breeder. They expect their dogs to be Championed first and place their dogs with strict contracts.
I will warn you that anyone that would place a breeding pair in your hands without knowing you, looking into your heart and willing to mentor you, are breeders that have no concern for their dogs. They are only interested in money and not the welfare of the dog. So, if you run across a breeder that will do this run the oposite way......
I highly recommend that you first find a mentor that will work with teaching you genetics, pedigrees, breeding, whelping and of course how to breed to improve the breed.
With the economy the way it is today, even the best of breeders have cut back on their breeding programs.
