Dog Breeding

Picture
​Dog breeding is a huge commitment and can take up a lot of time, money, and work; especially for a first-time breeder. Each breed has its own unique health and genetic concerns, and temperament. Regular veterinary care, genetic screening, pre-breeding health tests, exercise and good nutrition should be standard procedures. 
Things to know:
Code of Practice - Breeding Principles from the Canadian Kennel club:

The breeding of dogs is a serious responsibility; therefore, the decision to breed should never be taken lightly. To this end, every breeder, or prospective breeder, must be willing to embrace the following general principles:

(a) Be prepared to make a serious commitment of both time and financial resources in order to ensure that a proper breeding program can be carried out.
(b) Be prepared to provide for the well being of the dogs, both while in your care as well as in the ultimate placement of the dogs.
(c) Be prepared to work hard to preserve and maintain the breed for future generations through the judicious selection of breeding stock.
(d) Be prepared to share knowledge that is gained through experience with fellow breeders, particularly those who are novices.
