So if you're going to do it. Go for it. This is a good place as any to start making enquiries.

What you have to remember is that either parent has only half the genetic input into the puppies and the resulting pups are as unlikely to be just like Mum or Dad as our own children are.
they inherit the characteristics of many ancestors and unless you know a lot about these the traits coming through may well be not what you might expect or want.
If you look at my website you will see my girls, my latest pup is nothing like any of mine. the nearest I can think of in looks is that she is a lot like her Fathers Mum. Character wise she is nothing like her Mum, but a fair bit like grandmother on Mums side.
I know the bitch side of the pedigree really well for 6 generations yet am still surprised at the results, but they are still what I would expect in the given parameters of the breed standard.
