Breeding a male red tri BC (Border Collie)

You're obviously not looking for advice, so why did you start the thread?

Confirmation and pats on the back.

I have wondered that too? If Doug has contact with his veterinary, why come here?

Veterinarians have contacts, maybe his veterinary can line him up with another border collie or aussie pup or full grown dog.

Agree with Lady's Human and Snakemama and Bonny. Whole situation is problematic, and breeding "for fun" when shelter dogs need homes really troubles me. That said, I'm not going to change someone's mind if they are hell-bent on doing something. But from all the comments on this thread, if this guy is looking for affirmation for his intentions he's in the wrong place. Just sayin'.

BTW, before a visitor reads this train wreck and gets the wrong impression about the forum, we have had RESPONSIBLE breeders here and welcomed them. If you've done your genetic testing, genealogy, ad nauseum, and want to breed dogs to improve the strains, no problem.

There are plenty of pets waiting for homes in shelters. I'm not biased against breeds (okay, there is ONE breed I have issues with, and it's not pitties), however, I prefer labs and lab mixes........then took one of those evil, unstable pitties home from the shelter after she impressed the heck out of me with the kids.

I hear you Lady's Human and no prob with Forum at all, just with this particular case/poster and motivation behind his interest in breeding.

Agreed, I always looked forward to updates from a certain person who bred lovely Belgian Shepherds...carefully, with a thorough knowledge of what she was doing, and the help of other people in the breed.

Exactly who I was thinking of, anyone heard from her lately? Her dogs are gorgeous.

I'll go nudge her on Facebook! With two kids now and a recent litter of puppies ... she's been busy!
