It's a huge step and I'll do a lot of researching,
Breeding dogs I have done twice. Once with my female Maltese and once with my female Alaskan malamute which she needed. A c-section.
If I was to go through with it I'd become a breeder with my pap
Lots to think about. Ty
I have spoken to my breeder and this is what she has advised me. If I decide I will go through with breeding I will go through the right measures as the breeder suggest below.
I have advised her as well that if I decide I'm not capable of becoming a breeder then I won't do it. It's a huge decision.
I don't have an issue with you breeding from Lilly as long as you do it
responsibly.
You seem to have done a great job with Lilly and I'm thrilled that she has
gone to such a loving home.
I adore my dogs and they are very much part of my family.
If you want to breed pedigreed pups you need to become a member of your
state canine council--Dogs NSW
Then you need to get a breeders prefix. Of course there is a fee to both
and I think you are required to "pass a written assessment"
To get your breeders prefix. They are trying to prevent puppy farms. I am
sure that the information will be available on their web site.
Yes you are true in what you are saying. Totally agree.
I just emailed my breeder asking some questions on breeding, becoming a breeder, risks, if I'm suited, progress, etc
Thank you for your replies
When looking for a papillon there was a lot of breeders that had not for showing/breeding. I don't think my breeder had that. Of course I wouldn't just breed her for the sake of it. If I decide to go ahead I'll go through all the right channels. I also like the fact that when looking for Lilly it was very hard finding her. I was looking for about 6 months as only breeders really have them, not pet shops etc which I think is great. I would never breed her unless I thought, first of her best interest and of course if I was capable of it.
I will email my breeder and ask what she thinks.
Thanks again for your input.
