Jane Anderson's Breeding Realities

Breeding Realities

with the help of lots of other people.

With some people, it doesn't matter how information is put in front of them, they will always try and back away from reality. So if you'd prefer not to read reality, please close your browser now.

If, however, you'd like to learn how to be a responsible breeder, please continue your learning journey here:

  • When you breed your dog, you put her at risk
  • Breeding your dog is a costly event, and you will most probably have more expenses than you will have income from puppies
  • Regardless of how much experience you have, you can still have disasters
  • Expect to have a number of sleepless nights
  • Death of just one pup, even in a large litter, can be heartbreaking. Expect to take some time to get over that too.
  • No vet is perfect.
  • It is almost impossible to get a fading puppy to survive, and you can lose a whole litter to fading puppy syndrome.
  • It is impossible to predict how successful the breeding will be
