Please do not assume anything. We done plenty of research and are working with the best breeder in our area. She is 20 months old and this is her third heat. The entire process was approved by my Vet...who I worked for, for a few years while in college when I acutually had the intention to become one myself. Had we not gotten a go ahead from the Vet, this wouldn't be happening right now.
No need to worry about the dogs conforming to standards. George, the stud, is a champion with both the AKC and the CKC (in Canada) as were both of Jello's parents. We spent more time researching and in the end paid a premium for a pup we knew would perform well at the shows, as that's something my girlfried is really interested in. She'll begin her show career sometime next year.
We have NO INTENTION to become a for profit breeder. We also volunteer and work closely with a local rescue. Our other pup is a resuce and we always have a foster dog in the house. We've seen dogs that been over bred and it's cruel. The last one we had was 6 years old, but looked 20 as a result of being bred every cycle with no break. It's not cool and something we'd never do. We don't even plan to sell the puppies. They're all going to family and friends that we know will take good care of them.
So, like I said when I started, please don't assume. We are well prepared and can't wait for the puppies.
