Does anyone here breed dogs? I love a certain breed of dog and next year I am going to end one of my jobs and would like to buy and raise and train a few dogs of my favorite breed.

But I don't know how to start. Love information. Or even direction.

FreeRepublic you are like a husband, advisor, computer geek and everyday company to me. Love you all and wish I could have you all over for Chickensoup!!

First flush all your money down the toilet.

Next decide if you want a puppy mill operation or a quality one. If the former please rethink it.

Next, call the vet and tell them to buy a nice expensive car and not to worry about the payments.

Cross a French Poodle with an Alaskan Timber Wolf and you get Fifi of the North.

English Shepherds are generally pretty healthy. As a breeder, you have an obligation to do your best to keep the breed that way.

Spend time reading about genetics in general and the genetics of the breed specifically.

Unless you understand genetics and any issues involved in breeding, it is inadvisable that you proceed.

Well from the vets viewpoint it is optimistic or maybe just a realist.
