There is a lot of good advice above, and here is another angle to look at it from.....If you do decide to breed her after doing TONS of research, always know that something can go wrong as with people (even death). It isn't all fun just because adorable little puppies are invoved. As far as giving them all away, know that after stud service and vet bills (if everything goes perfectly), and depending on the number of puppies, you probably will have invested a minimum of $750.00 (just an estimate depending on what you have to pay for stud service). You will probably not sleep very much the first week. You will be even more sensitive to the mother's needs (the puppies will pull so much from her). One little piece of poop goes as far as a tinly little piece of chocolate cake for a baby ... funny but true ... you wouldn't think something so tiny could go soooo far. You will become a second mother to the litter, they will be as dependent on you for health and cleanliness as from her. I don't want to scare you, just help prepare you. |
