Now she's winning show after show, and others with more experience than you keep saying you really ought to consider having her bred. It's an appealing idea, but the world of dog breeding is as unfamiliar to you as the show ring was just a short time ago. You have no idea how to properly go about breeding your dog or what to expect. To help clear up some of the confusion, read everything you can find on the subject of breeding. Then, seriously consider your answers to the following questions before deciding whether breeding is right for you.
Every breed has faults, some of which have a high rate of inheritability.
Your bitch may appear fine, but many problems can only be found by special examination. Affected bitches or stud dogs can pass defects on in a much more severe form than they have, causing nothing but heartache to you as a breeder as well as to your puppies' eventual owners. The novelty of a first litter can wear off very quickly in face of the extra work it entails. And breeding is unlikely to be a financially profitable venture. So if your intention is to provide an interesting experience for your family, or to recoup some of the money you have spent on your dog, neither is a valid reason for breeding.
