Edit: WOW!!! whats with the haters out there??? 3 thumbs down fr just stating facts?? just wrong.. you haters need to find a happy place...smile... hug someone you love, go for a walk in the woods and listen to nature, read a good book, watch a good movie, smell a fresh flower, do something that makes you smile then come back here with a better attitude... I am going to send you haters a really big HUG!!!!! have a great day!!!

Here is a checklist for you, and this is just for starters... go to the link after you go through the checklist and read on... not to mention if you are trying to make $$ there really is no $$ in breeding....smile good luck
Is your *****:
1. show quality
2. a champion
3. have both parents and grand parents that are champions
4. free from hereditary disease
5. parents and grand parents tested and free from hip dysplasia
6. mature enough to breed
7. tested today as free from brucellosis

Is your dog:
1. show quality
2. a champion
3. have both parents and grand parents that are champions
4. free from hereditary disease
5. parents and grand parents tested and free from hip dysplasia
6. mature enough to breed
7. tested today as free from brucellosis

And you need to meet ALL of the following criteria:
1. you are have homes already for all pups - before the mating
2. you have found a dog that meets all the points in the section above relating to the requirements of the *****
3. you are prepared to offer a lifetime guarantee (or at least two years) for the health of the pups
4. if, during the lifetime of the pups, any need to be returned for whatever reason, you take that pup (now adult dog) back and find a home for him/her.
5. all non-show quality pups are sold with a spay/neuter agreement
6. all prospective buyers have been fully screened by you
7. you are going to offer support and advice to your puppy buyers for the life of the pup
8. you have the money to cover a stud fee, possible c-section and complications, vaccinations, and still get no income from the sale of any pups.
9. have you consented with the breeder of your *****/dog and sought their advice?
Now that's just a starting point. If you can't or won't meet these criteria, perhaps breeding at this time is not the best thing for you or your dog.

Answer 2

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE DECIDING TO BREED YOUR DOG:

Have they completed their AKC championships in the ring, thereby proving their quality as breeding stock?

Have you studied their pedigrees to determine possible genetic defects going back decades?

Have you evaluated male and female against the written breed standard to determine why their particular offspring would make a viable contribution to the breed?

Have you done the requisite health tests?

Are you willing to have their eyes and hips certified?

Do you understand the risk to the female in breeding her?

Are you willing to pay for a Caesaran, (quite common, about $1,000.00 + postnatal care)

Are you willing to supplement and tube feed puppies for 24 hours a day?

Are you willing to spend 12 weeks hand raising puppies in your home?

Are you willing to go to the expense of 12 weeks of shots and wormings for however many puppies you bring into the world?

Are you willing to interview dozens of potential pet buyers to determine exactly which ones will be the absolute Best homes for your puppies?

Will you have a spay/neuter clause in your pet buyer contract requiring proof of spaying/neutering before each pup is 6 months old?

Will you GUARANTEE that for if ANY reason during the life of the puppies you've bred, their owners can no longer keep them, they must be returned to you?

Answer 3

Don't. There are too many unplanned/unwanted puppies out there already. Go to a local shelter and see what I'm talking about.

Why on earth do you want to breed? Do you think you'll get big bucks for your pups? Well, consider things like stud fees, prenatal care, puppy shots, screening buyers, advertising your pups. All the profits go out the window.

Is your dog a show-champion? If so, then you know how much it cost to "finish" his championship. If not, then let me assure you that entry fees, groomers, trainiers, travel, etc. eat up profits fast. People who are willing to pay $$$ for a puppy want champions in their pedigrees.

OK so it's true that people will pay big money (maybe) for a show-quality "whateverbreed" but only one out of a huge number of pups are show-quality. The rest are "pet quality." Even with papers, your "whateverbreed" will probably only whelp "pet quality" puppies. Pets are wonderful - don't get me wrong - but they don't bring in the $$$.

Bottom line: Get Fifi or Pal spayed or neutered. Enjoy him/her for the sweet companion he/she is. When it comes time to cross the forever bridge, let go - and then go to the local shelter for your next best friend.

Answer 4

No, no, no, you are supposed to breed with another human! For you to breed a dog is probably illegal! J/K....but serioulsy...how about having your dog fixed, there are too many beautiful babies stuck in shelters...and also, what the first guy said.

Answer 5

You know asking that question here is like pointing a loaded gun to your head ...Which I may add a loaded gun would be a lot easier to take... than asking this question here.

Also let me add this.. always remember professionals were beginners once too... they were not born knowing how to breed dogs. It is like looking for a job everyone wants experience how does one get experience if one doesn't give them a job.

Answer 6

If you have to ask how to do this you really shouldn't be doing it.
Leave it to the professionals who know how / what they are doing.
Too many unwanted pets out there as it is, don't contribute to the problem.

Answer 7

i agree with the answer above if you havent been trained or know what your doing don't do it the chances of there being complications with mother and or pups are high
