thank you all for the NICE replies. i will read up on all these articles and will buy that book. i already have about 10 books i have purchased and read through the past few years on breeding whelping and care but any additional help or info is always good. i actually found out today that the mating did not work and i will be trying again at her next heat. until then i have found a very nice breeder to speak with around my area and possibly watch and assist with their births so i can get more knowledge.
i just wanted to say that the other negative replies on here are a bit sad. i am trying to do this the correct way and yes my dogs have been had a few genetic tests that the vet has recommended before hand, and i have been given the ok.
How did all of you start out breeding?? ARE WE ALL NOT BEGINNERS AT SOME POINT??? its better to help and educate with kindness rather then with nasty comments.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE POSITIVELY REPLIED
IM VERY GREATFUL FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!
