I think you would be much better served presenting the pedigrees and the histories of the line of dogs you are thinking of buying, to professionals. You need an honest, critique of the dog you are looking at....take the dog to a dog show and let some of those people tell you what they see in your dog. Being "cute" or "pretty" is NOT a benchmark that a reputable breeder relies on, to base their entire breeding program! You do not see the breeding behind dogs in pictures...you do not see what is going on inside that dog's liver, heart, kidneys, eyes.....
What do the pedigrees of the dogs you are looking to breed, reflect? Are you going back and looking at dogs 9-12 generations behind the breeders you are looking at? What is the HEALTH history of these dogs and litters produced..... Are the dogs AKC registered?
I feel in my heart you may be putting the cart before the horse in this adventure you are planning. Under the very best of circumstances, breeding is costly, both financially and emotionally, and unbelieveably labor intensive......you work continously with diets and meds and exercise and activities to keep your dogs in the very best of their breeding capabilities and potential.
