Ok!

How do I start I have 4 healthy dogs checked out by the vet and ready to breed. But when they are here I wanted to sell them. I just don’t want to be doing anything illigel. I know what somepeople are going to say first you need to study the breed and go to dog shows and I did that. And for the breeders out there can you give some advice or story about your breed.

I’d strongly recommending to presenting this question to local breeders who are involved in your breed. A good breeding program almost never involves purely breeding your own dogs to your own dogs, and if nothing else, that will only get you through one (*maybe* two) generation before you start inbreeding. Networking with local breeders is important because:

1) They can give you insight into local laws regarding kennels and breeding
2) They can help you through the ins and outs of registering your litters
3) They can help you understand health issues in your breed, and how to proactively avoid them, including recommended health tests (OFA, CEFT, etc)
3) They can provide a support system when you have problems with health of your dogs, or questions and issues that come up during pregnancy
4) They can help you learn how to make honest evaluations about your dogs’ strengths and weaknesses
5) They can talk to you about what you should have in the way of contracts for your puppy buyers, and about what you should look for when selling your pups

What’s really important to understand, too, is that a vet can check out whether a dog is physically capable of producing a litter without serious side effects, but they have utterly no knowledge of whether your dog is a good candidate genetically for producing good quality offspring. It’s not even remotely related to their specialty.

I know you feel like you’ve done your research, but I think you’ll discover that you’ve only scratched the surface. Poorly bred purebred dogs are actually a worse problem than random street-bred mixed breed dogs because you take health and temperament problems that are common to the breed and double up on them, leading to things like nervousness in poodles, spookiness in German Shepherds, aggression in Golden Retrievers, hyperness in labs, hip displasia and bloat in many of the large breeds, eplilepsy, etc. You sound like you’re pretty committed to going forward, but I hope you continue to research and learn for the sake of your puppy buyers. Keep in mind that it’s not just "all those puppies in shelters who won’t find homes because you made more" that are the risk here. The real risk is all of the pets you’re going to send off into people’s homes who may develop health and temperament problems as they get older, and the heartache that it causes a family when their beloved pet becomes displastic at age two, or dies of bloat at age 5, or develops a condition like EPI or Mega-E that will require incredible amounts of care and treatment for the rest of the dog’s life. You don’t have to live with these problems anymore after you cash your check and those cute adorable puppies go off to their new homes, but up to 8 people per one of your breedings, maybe even dozens of people per year, are going to take home these pups and as a breeder, it’s your responsibility to give them stable healthy dogs that will live long happy lives. Consider that some serious health conditions can cost thousands of dollars to treat, especially if it’s a lifelong condition developed at a young age. All of those people’s lives will be affected in a major way based on the consequences of your decisions… it’s a huge responsibility! That’s the part that tends to be overlooked when we talk about "all the dogs in shelters who need help too". (Don’t get me wrong, they do, but that’s not really the biggest reason to go slow with breeding, it’s the second biggest)

Good luck, and I hope you’re able to find a good network in your area.

I think we may adopt a little yorkshire puppy named Daisy. She is still young and we could possibly change her name… But what are some of your favorite names for dogs?

Hey!
I got my Yorkie puppy( he is a guy tho) about a week ago !
I named him Fonzie after the character on happy days !
If i were to get a girl however my first choice for the name was Daisy!
so good choice on that !

I want to know by just overall size what the 5 largest dog breeds in the world.

Great Dane, Labrador, Golden Retrievers,
I’m sorry I don’t know anymore.

We have a full bred Boxer female, she is AKC an all. My husband wants to breed her when she is old enough. She is only 7 months old now and I am trying to convince him that this is a bad decission for us to try and breed her. I look at her as my baby and I just cant imagine her being a puppy making machine. I cant imagine having to see all the little pups and then having to sell them off wondering what type of homes they are going to. He seems to be convinced since we bought a full bred papered dog we should breed her. I just wanted a Boxer, I guess he had other plans. Can anyone please give me info on a website that gives facts about dog breeding and how much it will cost in the long run for me to convince him otherwise.

Good for you!!!!

Ok here is the link for all of the health related tests that should be done on your dog PRIOR to breeding.

http://americanboxerclub.org/health-screening.html

On top of that, here is the Codes of Ethics from the American Boxer Club:

ARTICLE I
Breeding

1. Breed only with the intention of improving the breed.
Breeders should encourage the certifying of hips, blood testing for thyroid function, and screening for heart defects and other abnormalities that would affect the health of their dogs or the offspring of same, in conjunction with the current Health & Research Committee recommendations.
2. Breed healthy, sound, typey dogs that display sound temperament and qualities and are free of severe faults.
Dogs offered at stud should be in good health. They should be free from Canine Brucellosis and other communicable diseases as well as disqualifying genetic faults. A written Stud Contract is essential. Monorchids are not considered breeding stock.
3. Bitches accepted for stud service should be at least eighteen months of age, in good health, free from communicable diseases and disqualifying genetic faults. A bitch must be accompanied by a current veterinarian’s certificate stating that she is free of Canine Brucellosis. It is the responsibility of the stud dog owner to properly provide for all visiting bitches’ safety and security. Each bitch must be bred only to the stud dog specified by her owner. A change of stud dog is only permitted with the express consent of the owner of the bitch and should be included as an amendment to the Stud Contract.
4. Bitches should be bred only between the ages of eighteen months and six years and should not whelp more than twice in any three consecutive estrus cycles.
5. Breeders will keep accurate breeding records, registration papers, pedigrees and contracts.

I doubt that your husband will want to spend that kind of money (testing isn’t cheap) and spend that kind of time. However, if he still does, e-mail me. I will list to you everything that can possibly go wrong during the pregnancy, whelping, and rearing of puppies. I breed Shih Tzu Pups, and I can tell you, this is not a money making deal. I usually loose about $1000 per litter. And that is even without a c-section!

Good luck!
