Rottie,

If you do make the decision to breed,
make sure first that both dogs are tested and cleared for your breeds common diseases.

With Akita's it would be hips, elbows and cerf.

A contract between you and the other
party is a must.
Make sure everything is on paper and
signed by both parties.

You might also want to make sure
that the seller sells the pups on
limited registration and
adds in the contract that the pups must be
spayed or neutered.
(that way if the buyer does breed, he
can not register the pups them with AKC.)

Another good clause to add,
IS where if the buyer in the future
is not able to care for the puppy/dog
that the breeder must be notified.
That way you or the other breeder
can take back the dog.
(hopefully that will keep the dog
out of a pound if the owners down the
road can no longer keep the dog.)

Any body can be just a breeder.

Being a responsible breeder is actually
hard work.
I rather just be a pet owner.
