Are you familiar with at least 12 generation pedigree behind both dogs? Do you know what you are looking at when you look at the dogs and the lines they represent? Are you familiar with the do's and dont's of AI, especially where the AKC is concerned? Do you have AT LEAST $3000.00-$5000.00 to cover emergencies...an emergency c-section, medical care for the babies, etc? I actually read on this forum today about a woman that had a 7 week old puppy that was having bloody diarrhea, and she did not realize the danger she was looking at....nor did she have the ablity to get to a vet....and she became indignant and incensed that everyone on here was so understandibly concerned about that puppy's survival....do YOU realize and appreciate a life or death situation when you are living it, and do you have a car or some way to get the help you need, 24/7? Are you familiar with vaccination protocols? Do you have buyers for your babies? Unless you have the strips yourself, your vet can have your female tested to see if she is still in heat, and in the proper part of her cycle, for a fee of course. When all these obsticles have been met and surmounted, sometimes they just do not like each other! If she doesnt like him, she wont let him near her.....same for him about her! |
