#1 Mistake

This advice comes from years of hearing folks struggle with their business. I have yet to find a person having issues, that has not made or is not still making this mistake! Listen to see if you are making this mistake...

Selecting a Vet

This subject can be a definite STOP SIGN! Vet selection is MORE IMPORTANT than breed selection.

Breeding Issues for a Specific Breed

Before you buy your dogs, watch this video. Talks about dealing with breeds that have Patterns like dapple, harlequin, or merle.

DNA / DCM

With the loss of the famous Ruby Doobie Doo this week, I had to make the video about the dangers of DCM. Her breeders are incredibly responsible for this death. Her beautiful soul should have been in a dog who did not carry this disease. All of the love this girl had and she died way too young.

While DNA results is good info to have, for larger breeds DCM is a death sentence and is nothing to play around with. Do NOT let a breeder convince you that you can breed 2 carriers of any disease that results in death. You can breed a carrier and a clear and not create any pups that have the disease. That is acceptable.

Most breeders won't have every pup tested, but they MUST have DNA on the breeding parents. For $50 you can have them do a quick test on any male pup as he is the one that is critical to be clear. Females you will look at parents DNA results and know if pup could be affected. If you really like the female, and she is possibly affected, sorry but move on. This is not an ethical breeder and will only stop if they lose business over their decision.

Patterns in your breed

Before you buy your dogs, watch this video. Talks about dealing with breeds that have Patterns like dapple, harlequin, or merle.

Location Selection

Video 1 of 2. For now. I really cannot make enough videos about finding the right location to breed. (2nd Video in Growing Business Section.)

Be sure the take the advice to raise one litter in your current location before you uproot your whole family. Need to make sure you can handle the dead puppies before you actually try to grow this business.
