Just because they are registered doesn't mean they are good enough to be bred. I hope that you know all this already and have your dogs health certified for VWD, thyroid, cardio and hips. I hope you got them tested before breeding -- your female could now have an STD. I hope you are involved in showing/working as well. I also hope you have $1000 on hand for a C-section, as well as the thousands it costs to simply breed one litter. Not to mention pedigrees. Why exactly ARE you breeding??? If your dog came from a bad home, are you sure she has the temperment to be bred? How did you come in contact with her breeder if she came from another home?

I have had my dog for a few years and he has the best temperment I have ever seen. He allowed an 8 week old kitten to run his life. My in-laws have been breeding boxers for 20 years (members of CKC etc.) and have been showing for just about as long. My dog was sold as a puppy to a single mom for her 2 kids. She later got an abusive boyfriend. When the dog would try to protect her the boyfriend would hit them both. My in-laws heard about this and took the woman her 2 kids and the dog to thier home. She later move to an apartment, and my in-laws would let the dog go. He has an acre of fenced yard here and a family who loves him. He is by my side all the time. If he cant go somewhere then we cant go to!!!

Both dogs were checked by our vets and have a perfect bill of health. I used to work for my vet, and he is very good to me. The reason we did this is because I wanted one of my dogs puppies. I could have very easily gotten a pup from my in-laws, but I love my dog so much I wanted his pup!!!
