i have a 14 month old bitch.  on her 3rd season i would like to mate her.  i would be very grateful for any information on how to find good stud dogs.  i have never shown her due to an accident to one of her toes when she was younger and there was nothing the vet could do, but would like to breed her with a nice dog to maybe have show quality pups.

The best thing you can do is to contact her breeder. He/she will be able to advise you on whether your girl is of the right quality to be bred, what lines will be right for her and any health checks which are necessary. Also check her registration papers as they may have endorsements regarding the registration of her puppies -these will have to be lifted by her breeder.
