And you cannot just let them breed by themselves. Oh no! The male can get really hurt. It is messy and grose! And sometimes it take so long to hold - all you can do is sit there and hold them till they are done sometimes up to 50 minutes! Also you will need a towel on your lap. Now also be prepared to have money in the bank to pay the breeder when any of the pups are born with health issues. The stud owner is also 50% responsible and also later when the pup is sold to the new owners and they have health issues as older. Do you know the pedigree and health issues in his lines? You have had all the tests done on him, right?? Yes, there is a lot to it! More than you want to know.

I did not even want to know what you said.
