I have a 2 year old bitch called brooke that we want to breed from. We have read books about breeding and have talked to people that have done it before. we have asked as many questions as we can but are still a bit worried about something going wrong. Brooke means the world to us and we would never want anything to happen to her. we have found a stud dog for her and they get on realy well. Can anyone help me

If you do not want to put your dog at risk, don't breed. From mating to whelp there are problems and risks and even those with years of experiance lose their bitches, so leave well along and don't put hazzards in the way.
