That's the whole point. As an adult of course you don't need permission, but you should make an informed decision after researching and hearing first hand experiences from reputable breeders.
As mentioned, you won't make any money of a dog that's not AKC registered and no titles. And if you do, it will be a BYB'ing.
It's frusterating that comment.
I'm not sure if you know, but the statistics for homeless dogs is absurd in the US! It seems as though your more worried about your home smelling funky than the lives of possible puppies, that may end up in shelters, have serious health issues etc.
Leave breeding up to those who KNOW THE BREED. And have known the breed for years!
Do you know what a pug is supposed to look like? According to the breed standard?
I assume that you would be breeding only for "pet value", whilst many repuatable breeders, will have a few "pet value" pups per litter. That will have had all the proper health testing done before breeding.
*sigh* I can't imagine wanting to breed. Perhaps my guys are just babied more than they should be, and I spend too much time with them and MONEY on them! But, to have 4 or 6 or 8 little ones! And pay for the vet bills, say if anything went wrong, to feed them quality food, to make sure they all went to good homes...
Sorry, just not for me! Too much responsibility! I'll admit it! I wouldn't want to worry about my puppies ending up in shelters and getting euthanized!
It happened with the man who bred Hades. When they were little and before they were born, everyone wanted a pit from the litter! And they were going to pay $500 a pup!
Did it happen!??! Heck no. He ended up giving them all away, no shots and near the end was feeding them doggie biscuits for food because he couldnt' afford to buy food anymore....
