Go on breed from her if you can find a stud dog (his fees too)
Why should it only be us pedigree dog breeders who have all the fun?  |
You forgot the cost of a possible c-section out of hours around £1000 or more,possibilty of loosing the bitch,a high chance of her rejecting her pups,this means feeding every two hours day and night,making sure they toilet ok.
Are you willing to put your girls life in danger because you think, not know that she will make a good mother.
I had a bitch that was an awful mother,I mean awful,she delivered her pups herself too.
Could you spot the signs if she got into trouble while whelping ?
Could you cope with deformed stillborn puppies,
Believe me breeding is damn hard work,tiring and heartbreaking at times.When things go wrong they go wrong big time.
