i have a Pomeranian and she is going to give birth to her third litter in about 3-4 weeks.

it depends on what your reasons for breading are.

This will be my dogs last litter. not because of any other reason apart from her being my pet and i dont want to abuse her for puppies, she is a full pedigree, KC registered etc, but instead of selling the pups on for £900+ like others do, i dont KC reg them and sell them on for £350, what it has cost me to keep and lookafter all of them.

be aware, that there is a big differance between pet quality dogs and breading quality... and if you have a pet bitch, i would not sujest breading her seriously as preganacy can be dangerous for dogs. its also very expencive if anything goes wrong.also you will have to put up with time wasters and people coming round and trying to knock you down on a puppy, its a puppy not a car.... you dont try and knock the price down....

If you want to breed do it because you love the breed of dog and not just to make money.

In a year or two i am going to take up breading chihuahua's.but i want to learn everything about the breed first and find the right dogs.
