Announcing A Litter of Puppies Due

[bubbatd]

I hope you don't breed Emma until she's over 2 and she's had all her certifications.

She'll be over two years of age and will have all her certifications.. Before she is bred... I Know of a good breeder of German Shepherds and it is her male that I breed with.. She has been very helpful when I have had a question regarding breeding and training... She is a german lady and this is what her father did and it is what is does now... She has told me that my Queen has lots of qualities and could have been a rescue dog as well as a top performer in anything I had wanted to involve her in. But she is a part of my family and she is my best friend.. I would never do anything in the world that would harm or injure either of my girls...

I'm glad to hear that .... Kudos for responsible breeding ...down the road. I am surprised that she agreed to breeding twice in a year.

So are you a "professional" breeder or what? Do you have a website or anything? I was just wondering if there was somewhere that I could go to see some better pics of the mother, check out the pedigree, health certs, guarantees, etc.
Why wouldn't you show or title her in anything (even agility)? It would prove that she is worthy of breeding and help show that you are bettering the breed.

Really would like to see more pics and get more info. She looks very pretty.

I hope she doesn't have a web site !!!! Any good breeder doesn't need to advertise on the net !!

Theres nothing wrong with having a website. Many Many professional breeders do. Its a useful tool to keep clients and like minded friends updated.

Thanks MOM. I've seen plenty of good breeders, not to mention parent clubs and kennel clubs that have reputable breeders listed.

Here is one very well known
http://www.castilecreekkennels.com/
http://www.sdsdogs.com/
http://cwretrievers.com/

And many many more. Good way to get info out that otherwise wouldnt be. Makes it easy to search pedigrees and info on pups before even speaking to the owner. Or if they happen to own a dog in your dogs pedigree you can find out more specific information so you can add that to keep your pedigrees updated.
Nothing wrong at all with having a website in my eyes but thats just me

Before I got my dog, i was in contact with two different breeders.

Both had websites. They used them to display pictures of their "babies" who had been adopted. One of the breeders had pages and pages dedicated to all the pups she had adopted out, they included letters and stories that her clients had sent back to her, christmas cards people had made with their pups. It was great to be able to check out what the puppies looked like when they grew up. She also used it to update her former clients on what she was doing and how the sires and dams were doing so you could keep up on your pups parents.

i thought the websites were a nice touch in a modern era.

I agree that websites are great .... in fact had I had access to the internet back when I bred , I probably would have had one . I've got albums of pictures, letters , updates etc from every litter. I'm just anti selling pups over the internet.
