If someone were serious about breeding and doing it right, they wouldn't wait until a few months before the next heat and then start looking for info on the internet. They would spend years studying the process ahead of time, work with a good, in person mentor, champion their own dog and have them properly certified BEFORE they started planning a whelp.

As for rescue dogs being mutts or unpredictable, then you haven't put in the time to researching reputable breed rescues. There are many who specialize in specific pure breeds.

Breeding right is not something that should be undertaken lightly. Breeding just because you WANT to is not a good enough reason to do it.
