Deciding to breed your own dog is a very serious matter not to be taken lightly.  There are already plenty of unwanted puppies in this world in need of good homes, and bringing another litter in this world will only add to the problem.   http://jvlmlf.multiply.com/video/item/1/PLEASE_WATCH....  MOST responsible breeders take breeding seriously and devote their lives to this hobby not because it is an easy way to make money (because it isn’t!) but for the love of the breed- and it is this genuine love that pushes them to make sure puppies go to a proper loving family. 

ASK YOURSELF, do you know that there is often very little profit in breeding and raising a new litter when all the costs of materials, time and effort you need to invest in are added up?  There are breeding fees, vaccination fees, testing fees, registration fees, advertising fees as well as the cost of room and board for what can sometimes be a very large litter.   Have you thought about where you are going to keep a litter of probably 8-12 puppies and who will volunteer to stay up long hours when expecting a litter to be born, clean up all the stool and urine that will come out of those puppies many times a day?  Will you be able to find good homes for all the puppies, and what will you do if no one wants them?  Having puppies may sound like fun, but it’s usually much more work than most people realize.

Are your are intending to breed your dog because you love your own dog so much that you want others to share in your wonderful experience?  Do you know that these little darlings as adorable as they are make very poor "surprise gifts" especially if the recipient really doesn’t want a puppy at all, unfortunately, often the puppy that ends up paying the ultimate price of being neglected because no one wants to care for it anymore.  Are you willing to loose a customer because you must educate them to look beyond a puppy’s cuteness and realize that he will be a little puppy for but a few months but a grown dog for many years thereafter and remind them that each puppy is different and that they need to be able to provide time, effort and enough space that they might not have.  Each of our little darlings MUST be given for the family who intends to provide the loving home and finding that kind of family may be difficult and can take longer than what you expect.
