I 100% agree with this. To be a breeder takes MUCH more then letting two dogs go at it. If you plan to breed dogs you need to do your research first AND be sure your breeding pair is sound & free from congenital defects such as Chiari Malformation, LS, LP, AAI & that's just a few of the things you need to know about. You also need to know about how to care for the newborn pups in the event of the mothers death or her rejecting any pups and how to care for the mother after the whelp such as the signs of trouble when those pups basically suck the life out of the mom. So, do you know about all these things ? if your answer is no then you are in no way near ready to become a dog breeder & I'm not trying to be rude, just stating the facts. Unfortunately most people learn the hard way, you were lucky, well deff smart enough to get your girl to a specialist before it was too late for her. Could you have seen yourself trying to deliver those pups on your own ? without any guidance from some of the experienced breeders here on YT and you vet you may have lost your Bitch like so many do. And this is why people here are so passionate, we don't just LOVE our dogs, we LOVE ALL dogs.
