I currently have two Siberian Huskies that are papered I'm trying to do my home work so I do it right. I adore this breed and would like to see others enjoy them too.

OK I have in the past been a breeder of Goldens so here how I started. First I did my homework to see if there is anyone in my are who really want the pups I was going to produce. Check if Huskys are a wanted breed in your area. Then read, and tak with other breeders. Your breeding pair should be very helathy and show no hip, heart or eye problems. They can be x-rayed and certified for all the afore mentioned percautions. Be aware this is expensive to do. Do not breed if your female is under 2 years of age. Most females do not fully develope until then. Male at 18 months. Then be fully prepaired to be able to help with delivery of pups if the need should arise. Taking care of a litter of pups is a full time job so if you dont have dont breed. It is expensive to bring a litter into the world so if you don't have the finances forget about it. Love is not enough!

Basically, this is what needs to happen before you breed. You seem like a nice person and I'd like to think you don't want to become a backyard breeder like so many others out there. First, go down to your local humane society or Northern breed rescue and ask to volunteer there for a minimum of 6 to 12 months. This will put it in perspective about how many people have "adored" huskies as puppies and then brought them back when they howled, dug, were destructive, etc. I have fostered numerous huskies as they are one of my favorite breeds as well and many of them get put to sleep. Next, the dogs need to be xrayed via OFA or PennHip at two years of age for hip and elbow dysplasia as well as for PRA in their eyes well before breeding. Then they need to be checked by three breed experts and made sure they fit proper structure for the breed. Then they should be temperament tested with the ATTS.org or at least earn the AKC's Canine Good Citizen certificate. They should also show they are exemplary members of their breed by being good working dogs, therapy dogs, agility, obedience, etc. Just because they are cute or nice does not a good sire or dam make. Find a breed mentor who can help you with this. Dogs should not be bred before 2 years of age minimum.

K9 Structure and Terminology is my personal favorite, and relevant no matter what type of dog activity you are involved in.
Breeding Better Dogs by Battaglia is a good genetics book.
Born to Win, Breed to Succeed by Trotter is a good all around book.
I have heard that Breeding Better Labradors is very good no matter your breed.
There are many interesting dog books, search at dogwise.com for a great selection.
