When you asked "Do you know her lines," I assume you mean that question to mean what a responsible breeder does when choosing a beading dog, you check back 4 or 5 generation on both sides and check out the lines to make sure there are no genetic illnesses. This is done by doing an extensive pedigree search and is no easy task. I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't understand that this is what you mean, and I doubt if he knows how to do it. Most pet owners think it means the dog's mother was registered and the dog was a purebred. Same with your other questions, most pet owners don't know what types of genetic testing to do on their dogs before they breed. Many genetic illnesses don't show up before the age of 2 and people are breeding the dogs by then, so these genetic tests are important, but you have to educate yourself to know what tests to do. Most vets will not even suggest this and when you ask the average vet, "is it okay to breed her", he’ll only check to see if she has the normal equipment necessary to breed, ie. a uterus.
