Does she have any titles in her pedigree? Is the potential sire titled? I'd wait a year before you decide and perhaps a trusted veteran can help you decide. You may also want to consider taking her to local kennel club show and entering her in the puppy class to get some feedback from the judge. If she has potential to be finished, I would focus on that before breeding.
It is a HUGE responsibility and there are a lot of costs. There are also risks. My breeder has been doing it for 30+ years and recently lost a female after an emergency c-section. She seemed okay and was recuperating, but then they lost her. They bottle fed her four puppies and unfortunately lost two of them as well. Very, very sad. |
