I was told that too. I started with a male:) I've never been sorry; you see breeders will sell a "better" male to someone just starting because very often, they'll want to keep a bitch (or else you get all involved in tangled co-ownerships, etc.) You just do things in reverse; if you have a male you love you go "date shopping" for him once he's done or close to done. You can buy, lease, whatever...then keep his best daughter:) As far as selling puppies, get involved, get out and about with dogs, look approachable and you'll have no problem when the time comes:) Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit www.geocities.com/pinehillgsds In a message dated 6/12/2008 8:27:26 P.M.

I've been told by may show people to get a female to start a kennel with if I wanted to bree. I bought two males instead. Now I'd glad I have males, because I'm concerned that I'd have no one to buy puppies. **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008.
