I fully agree with all your comments and would not enter into breeding from my dog lightly. She is from a very good line of Field Trial champions and my reason for breeding from her is not a sentimental desire for her to have puppies but would be in the interests of the breed.

Additionally, I would not expect this to be a venture for financial gain, from most of the information that I have read, the opposite is probably true. I just wanted some guidance from any of the experts that contribute to this forum that may be valuable in my decision making.

I intend to contact the breeder of my dog as a first step but if any one out there has any more advice, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks
