Answer 1

Do you also plan to prove this dog is of breeding quality through winning points toward a champion title with a reputable breed club? Do you also plan to have this dog tested for any genetic defects known to the breed? Without these two things, your dog shouldn't be bred.

Are willing to give round the clock care to newborn puppies if for some reason the mother can't? Are willing to risk losing your dog and the litter to complications? Are you prepared for the complications that can arise, such as the need for an emergency c-section? How about paying for proper prenatal care, dogs need it too. Then there's high quality food, shots for everyone, vet bills for sick puppies.

What happens a year down the road when someone you sold a pup to decides they can no longer keep it? Are you willing to take that dog back, or will it end up in a shelter like millions of other dogs?

If you care going to get a dog, save yourself and your dog the risks. Have her spayed. Just because a dog has "papers" and uterus doesn't make her a puppy factory. Your pups could very well end up like these http://www.brightlion.com/InHope/InHope_en.aspx http://justonelitter.com/litter.html

Answer 2

I am sure many are going to try everything in their power to try and discourage you. I AM NOT. The reality is that there is not an overpopulation of well bred small dogs right now, so I am not going to blatantly try and discourage you. What I will try to do is help you to get to know the breed you are interested in. You should seek a dog that has the right attributes for that breed and is in good health, do health screening to make good choices and have good results. AKC.org is a good place to start to look at the breeds and you can Google each breed your interested in and spend days (if not months or years) on each doing research. Breeds like Bostons, and pugs with wider heads and narrowed rears are often not free whelpers, and from the sound of it that is important to you. Most importantly though YOU must love the breed you choose. Breeding requires long hours, and much time spent in care research, etc., A good place to start to get an eye for what you want in a given breed would be going to some dog shows. Try infodog.com for information on show dates that may be local to you. If your going to breed a pure bred dog, you should try and breed to the standard of the breed. I just answered a Pomeranian question where someone was complaining that he questioned whether his dog was pure bred because it was over sized. People who buy your puppies should be entitled to have a dog that grows up to be what they expected, and one which the breeder took every possible measure to ensure it has a long happy life. That's why breeders should strive for quality, along with avoiding health and temperament issues. Remember when you get a dog, intending on breeding it, there is a likely hood that you will have many eventually. Start out with something nice it is much better for you, the dogs and everyone in the long run. Go to some shows and see if you can figure out which breed is best suited for what you want to do with it. Remember everyone, if no one is breeding nice quality pure bred dogs than soon there will be no nice pure bred dogs at all! We need home breeders, and dog fanciers, if we don't develop more soon there will be none left (and the ARs win). They are going to breed anyway, we can't stop them, if we could there would be no doodle to oodle about, so lets help them do it better, and the right way!

Answer 3

Dobies don't get their ears cropped until 4-6 months, by then they have usually been bought/adopted, although the tails are docked at birth.

I have a doberman I got from the local SCPA, and I would trust her around any child. I've seen her around toddlers, school age kids, and lots of other folk. All she wants is to be loved and fed. I have 3 cats, and she's fine with them, and also fine with other dogs.

There are already too many unwanted dogs. Please consider adopting from your local animal shelter. Chances are, the dog will already be spayed/neutered, or you will have to sign a contract to do so. If, however, you are hell-bent on getting and breeding a purebred, go to some dog shows, look at the different breeds, and talk to the owners before making a decision.

A note for Jess---I clicked on your first link, couldn't finish watching, and I'm still crying.

Answer 4

Get a breed that is very popular. It seems right now the smaller dogs are...yorkies, pugs, maltese, puggles. If you want a dog to be a part of your family, you should really research the characteristics of the breed and get one that best meets your lifestyle. For instance, if you have kids you're not going to want a doberman.

You should also talk to breeders first. Many people won't buy pups unless they come from someone who has been breeding for awhile.

I couldn't agree more, you are totally right! I have no problem with someone breeding healthy pets, as long as they do it right, which means health testing and consciencious puppy placements.
