Oh, please do not do this. Tens of thousands of dogs die every day, good dogs, simply because there are not enough homes for them all.
Even if you personally find homes for say, ten puppies, it doesn't matter in the big picture. All it means is that the ten people that took your puppies that week did NOT take ten other puppies. And those ten puppies will die.
If you were to spend some time volunteering at your local shelter, I am almost certain you would change your mind about breeding your dog. And if were to walk through your local animal control agency or kill shelter, and see all the sweet, good dogs scheduled to die the next day, I am even more certain you would make your dog's neuter appointment.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
