Who is "we?" What do you mean "

Speaking for myself, I have enjoyed reading your posts too!
And yes, I totally agree w/ goldenray about reducing the possibility of problems by gaining experience and knowledge first. I know tradgedy can stike even the most seasoned breeder, but IMO, I think alot of the problems come from those who do not properly prepare themselves first. Yes there are risk and issues that arise, but if you are aware of the possibilities and signs and educate yourself on how to properly select complementing dams/sires, you greaty reduce this chance and are able to intervene quickly to stop a problem if and when it comes up.
I tried to make this point to others on several occasions when breeders here were questioned on their motives (as in, "it MUST be for profit") since losing the female is a risk. I don't think my point was ever understood by those questioning it.
