If you breed thinking you are going to make money, You are Wrong! You should only breed your dog to better the breed. If you have a supurb speciamen of the breed then I would consider breeding her. You have to take in the fact that everything may not go alright. My little girl just had her first litter. After 2 hrs of pushing and no pups I rushed her to the vet who did an emergancy c-section. After an hour they finally got the one in the birth canal breathing. We almost lost that one. After only a week and a half my girl developed mastisits and one of her mammay glands burst open. She did not eat or drink for 24hrs and therefore did not produce milk. I am not bottle feeding 5 puppies. They need to be fed every 2hrs. around the clock. My girl has been on 2 different antibiotics now. One of the pups have an eye infection which I am fighting with meds. because of the infection mom had. It is very expensive to have a litter of pups even when you don't have complications. You also run the risk of losing your beloved pet. I'm not trying to scare you away from breeding I just want you to know what is involved. If you do decide to breed you female please research, research, research. Also it would be helpful if you could find a breeder in your area that you could help assist in welpings. Good luck on your decicion.
