Too bad-could have been a good thing. Good luck with your dogs. I'm sure you will do fine. Dogs have been mating for years and they are no where near extinction. What does that tell you?

You've been on this forum for maybe a few days. Rachel has been on this forum much longer than that and first hand knowledge of what she is speaking about. You see she made wrong choices in selecting her dog from a breeder that thought putting two dogs together was all there was to it.

If one doesn't understand that breeding is serious business and not breeding to improve the breed, whether pet or not, then one shouldn't be breeding.

No one has said not to breed just to do it for the right reasons and correctly. And to do this one should not take short cuts, by just breeding two cute dogs. It means studying, educating oneself and starting with the best foundation possible.
