A mentor will be there or your for your first litter and with others along the way. Mentor's can help you pick your foundation, sometimes love is blind when starting out and we miss some of the obvious faults OR maybe you don't know what they are. A mentor will be able to answer the questions you pose above.
There are wonderful people on this forum so we are definitely a good back up  but first and foremost you need to get some help locally if you can. Also discuss breeding with yoru vet, get their opinoin on it. SOme vets do not support breeding..find a new one until you find one that dose. YOu need a mentor for health and genetic problems too.
Where do you live? Maybe we can suggest some breeders in your area that may be willing to mentor.
Best wishes! |
Sorry Irene, I replied to Kelly and I meant to reply to yours. I live I Council Bluffs Iowa. I have put a deposit down on a female from Praire View Kennel in South Dakota. I have not chosen a male yet. It will be a while before she is ready to breed, but I want to get as much information as I can so I'm not going into it blind.
