Behavioral problems, such as fear biting and excessive barking, will be harder to break which, in turn, means that several of your puppies will either be returned or end up in a shelter. Well-trained and socialized dogs in excellent health and peck condition will produce a happy, healthy litter.

Talk to your breeder and vet; they are your best allies in this endeavor. Explain your goals and what you would like to achieve with this litter. If this all sounds like a lot of hard work, breeding is not for you. No one said this was going to be easy, and remember we are creating living breathing creatures that have needs very much like our own.

Breeding is not for the soft or faint-hearted, so if you are not prepared for the worst, do not get started.

Woof!
