3. why do you want to breed blue bell?

4. will she somehow improve the breed?

5.does she show outstanding working ability?

6.has she ever been worked?

7.is she a show aussie or real aussie?

8. do you know whats involved in breeding?

9. what do you plan to do with the pups?

10. do you have homes lined up?

11. are you prepared to spend every waking minut with the pups? are you prepared to be staying up all night and bottle feeding if anything should happen and the pups need hand fed?
Good questions!!!! What about:

1) Can you afford the vet bills if something may happen to the bitch, i.e birth complications?
2) Can you afford the vet bills to have all of the puppies vaccinations and other shots?

Those count too, vet bills cost a lot of $$!!
