How do you go about dog breeding? Nine commandments from foreign breeders

　　1.The　only　reason　to　be　breeding　purebred　dogs　is　to　preserve　the　best　qualities　of　the　breed.　Breeding　to　supply　any　market　is　not　a　justification.　
The only reason to breed purebred dogs is to preserve the qualities of that purebred dog, not to meet market demand.

　　2.You　need　to　do　all　of　your　breeding　with　the　best　interests　of　the　breed　in　mind.　Never　your　pocket　book　
If you want to breed dogs, you as the breeder must first establish a concept for yourself: what you love is breeding dogs, not doing it for money.

　　3.For　this　you　need　to　be　a　serious　student　of　the　breed　and　devote　years　of　your　life　to　it.　No　"in　one　day,　out　the　other".　
In order to breed, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly, with the dedication of many years. You cannot start without any preparation.

　　4.As　a　beginner　you　need　to　engross　yourself　in　the　breed　as　much　as　possible　and　ideally　find　a　suitable　mentor.　
In the early days of being a breeder, you should try to concentrate fully on breeding. In addition, it is best if you can find a wise breeder to guide you.

　　5.In　order　to　be　a　serious　breeder,　you　must　show　and　compete.　
To become a serious breeder, you must actively participate in dog shows and various competitions.

　　6.You　need　to　keep　track　of　all　puppies　you　produce,　whether　pet　or　show,　to　know　how　your　breeding　program　is　working.　
For every puppy you sell, you must have a way to contact and find these puppies. Whether for pet purposes or for showing, these are what let you know how your breeding program is going.

　　7.All　show　puppies　need　to　go　on　a　contract　that　will　not　allow　breeding　unless　the　dog　lives　up　to　the　quality　intended　and　passes　all　health　checks　and　certification　necessary　for　that　breed.　If　a　prospective　breeder　does　not　want　to　do　this,　then　I　am　sorry　but　they　will　have　to　mess　with　someone　else“s　dogs　not　mine!!　
All puppies at dog shows need a contract stating they will not be used for breeding, unless the dog's quality and health are qualified and it meets the breed standard. If the buyer does not want to sign this contract, then I can only say, what a pity! He can go mix with someone else's dogs, but not mine.

　　8.Every　breeder　owes　to　the　breed　and　to　themselves　to　be　involved　with　rescue.　
All breeders have the responsibility to be good dog breeders, and have the responsibility to participate in maintaining breed purity (do not let the purebred dogs you are involved in breeding disappear from the earth).

　　9.Every　breeder　should　be　prepared　to　take　any　dog　back　for　whatever　reason.　If　they　do　not　have　the　space,　then　they　need　to　be　prepared　to　make　other　arrangements.　But　take　back　they　must!　
Every breeder needs to be mentally prepared that the buyer may return the puppy. If the breeder has no space to keep it, they must make arrangements immediately, but they must accept the return.
