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.

That is why I am interested. I will be looking for breeding guidance, and perhaps use an appropriate stud. I am not looking to do this for more than a few years and want to do it best possible.
