Should You Breed Your Dog?

I have permission to copy this, and so do you! I will be using it to promote spay/neuter. Feel free to do the same!

Is Your Dog Breeding Quality?

Is your dog purebred?

     If Yes - Please continue.
     If No  - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!

Where did you get your dog?

     Pet Store      - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!
     Animal Shelter - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!
     Found It       - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!
     Breeder        - Please continue.

Did you get a 3 to 5 generation pedigree with your dog?

     If Yes - Please continue.
     If No  - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!

Are there at least four title dogs (tracking, conformation, obedience, etc.) in the last three generations?

     If Yes - Please continue.
     If No  - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!

Does your dog have a stable temperment?

     If Yes - Please continue.
     If No  - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!

Does your dog fit the breed standard?

     If Yes - Please continue.
     If No  - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!

Is your dog healthy and certified (OFA, CERF) free of genetic diseases?

     If Yes - Please continue.
     If No  - STOP!  PLEASE GET YOUR PET NEUTERED!

If you answered yes to all the above questions, you have a dog of breeding quality. However, if you are not active in showing or working your dog, think very carefully about your reason for breeding. Breeding should be done to improve the breed, not so the kids can see puppies being born, or because you want "a puppy from her," and NEVER to make money selling puppies! Don't Breed Out of Greed!
