what type of things would a breeder topically take into account for a breeding program, if not demand for breed? or

The way I interpret the information from RSPCA, the reason they discuss the market/demand is so over breeding is not done when there are plenty on sheltered dogs to be adopted. so I read it as don't breed unless there is a need for that breed example the first reply to this about the greyhound. But again that is how I interpret the information.

Thank you for your reply, and I can see in your predicament how/why that breeding would that place to preserve your breed.

Hi, I have a general question that I cant seem to find anywhere on the internet. I've been reading up a lot lately about responsible breeding and one question i cant find the answer to is how a breeder can determine that the market requires dogs of their breed. so as the RSPCA page shows "1. Conscientiously attempt to match the demand of animals with the supply - in this way they proactively avoid creating an oversupply of animals." how do you work out that its ok to breed your dog, I'm not talking about quality of breed here, only the requirement of the breeds demand. for example, how does a Maltese breeder know they world needs more Maltese puppies. Or does it not matter and the breed will take place when the bitch is ready to breed? Conversations can get pretty heated about dog breeding when someone who doesn't know about it asks questions so sorry if this question offends, I was just wondering. thanks for your time.
