In the last few years I have done close breedings on my own dogs. Now I have closely bred bitches I need to breed out. I know what I want to accomplish but unfortunately I can only find one or two males I am interested in breeding to. They are young dogs so I don't know what problems they may produce . I have spent years getting rid of the problems I started out with and certainly don't want to bring them back again. Everytime I find another dog to consider I hear negative reports. I have toyed with crossing over and breeding to a german dog but then I would really be in the dark. Years ago when i wanted to breed I could have given you at least 8-10 males I would have been interested in. But then I did not sit and think about it so much just went and did it and prayed for the best. We know so much more about lines and have so much more contact with the whole country now that I am talking my self out of breeding again. This would be a shame because health wise I have come a long way baby.
