I agree with Martha Piercefield...  Don't breed or buy while millions die!  

 

From the website http://www.learntobreed.com :

Is your dog:

1. show quality 
2. a champion 
3. have both parents and grand parents that are champions 
4. free from hereditary disease 
5. parents and grand parents tested to check hip dysplasia rating 
6. mature enough to breed

7. tested today as free from brucellosis

 

Additionally -- 

And you need to meet ALL of the following criteria:

1. you are have homes already for all pups - before the mating 
2. you have found a dog that meets all the points in the section above relating to the requirements of the bitch 
3. you are prepared to offer a lifetime guarantee (or at least two years) for the health of the pups 
4. if, during the lifetime of the pups, any need to be returned for whatever reason, you take that pup (now adult dog) back and find a home for him/her. 
5. all non-show quality pups are sold with a spay/neuter agreement 
6. all prospective buyers have been fully screened by you 
7. you are going to offer support and advice to your puppy buyers for the life of the pup 
8. you have the money to cover a stud fee, possible c-section and complications, vaccinations, and still get no income from the sale of any pups. 
9. have you consented with the breeder of your bitch/dog and sought their advice?

 

 

Now that's just a starting point. If you can't or won't meet these criteria, perhaps breeding at this time is not the best thing for you or your dog.
