Responsible dog breeding, or the breeding of any animal for that matter, is a decision that should not be taken lightly. I have been a part of raising many dogs throughout my life, some were rescue dogs from the pound, some were from backyard breeders and some were from reputable show/obedience dog trainers. I’ve had my favorite dogs and I’ve had ones that about drove me nuts. Different dogs with different personalities appeal to different people. There are probably about as many reasons for breeding your favorite pup as there are for why you got that favorite pup in the first place. There are also a lot of pros and cons for breeding a dog, and there are risks involved that need to be considered as well.
