My lab will be 2 years old in February 2008 and I am thinking about breeding from her for the first time shortly after this. I don't want to enter this lightly - she is a very special pet to me and I want to make sure that I do everything safely for her.

Can anyone from the forum community give me advice regarding this "venture" as this is all new to me - I am quite experienced at hatching chicks and rearing lambs but not sure how much use those skills will be!

I need advice really from scratch - care of my dog, preconception, choosing a stud dog, care during and after pregnancy.....any good books or websites that you would recommend.Thanks everyone
