First off let me say hello and welcome to YT.
All the question you are asking are here in the breeders section.
I am not trying to be mean ..so please don’t take it that way.
If you want to breed the right way, you really need to read everything you can get your hands on.
About breeding , faults, traits, bloodlines, genetics, the health problems this breed has ..etc.
Do this before you decide to even think about breeding.
I know everyone has to start out somewhere.
If you read the threads you will understand breeding is not for the faint of heart.
It can be exciting and heartbreaking.
Next you need to find a mentor (breeder to help you get started ) and a good Vet.
A good breeder can tell you if the female is good breeding stock, when she would be ready to breed (most breed on the 2nd-3rd heat) and what testing need to be done on the female.
You need to have money on hand for problems.
Whelping supplies, C-Section if needed, shots, dew claws, tail docks, lost of sleep, lost of work, feeding pups if mom dies, or won’t feed pups….etc.
I started the wrong way .
I didn’t know enough when I first started breeding.
Had I listened to a long time breeder on here, my first time might not have been so heartbreaking .
I lost a whole litter, the female was C-sectioned and spayed , then placed in a good home.
The breeder told me the female was having problems and the Vet said she wasn’t.
Most Vets do not have the experience the long time breeders do.
Mine sure didn’t.
A year later , I have new females, a breeder friend, good breeders here on YT and a NEW VET.
I will be breeding again soon with so much more knowledge and a better understanding of the breed.
I still don’t know everything the long timers do.
I learn something new everyday.
Your male need to be looked at and testing done to see if he will made a good stud.
STD on both male and female.
Your boy is not a Stud until he is proven. The best was to prove him is to breed him to a female who has whelped before.
Females usually comes to the males home for breeding.
The male sometimes needs help and they need to be watched close to make sure the female does not injure the male by dragging him around when they tie. Or the female may bite the male.. etc.
Fees for a first timer is usually free or a small amount of money.
Depends on the dog and bloodlines.. If it does not take ..then you should return the fee or offer a free breeding next time.
