yes..
i will be purchasing my first show pup sometime in the next year and a half (maybe longer)..it has been a dream of mine since before i could remember to breed top quality Great Danes..i have learned tons of things in the last few years, ive spent countless hours reading about breeding, raising puppies, showing, genetics ect...my first show pup is going to be a male, and i am not in any hurry to start breeding, i want to get a feel for the show world before i even think about breeing my first bitch...i have been looking for this pup for forever it seems, cant seem to find a line i like..and i personally dont like the look of the American lines.. but i have just recently narrowed it down to 4 kennels..all of which are in Europe.
Breeding is not for everyone..it takes a lot of time, money and patience. Anyone can breed a litter of puppies, but i really wish more people would breed for the right reasons..i would not even THINK about breeding my dogs unless they have earned their CH., are good breed ambassadors, have sound bodies and mind, and have been health checked, and have PASSED all tests (hips, heart, elbows, thyroid ect). Every breeding i did would have a specific purpose in mind, to better the breed.
