What do you Know about breeding?
what health tests have beeen done or going to be done on the parents, (make sure you actualy know what the result means, i resently heard of a breeder who tested her stud and bred them but didnt understand the results and is breeding a dog that is a carrier so every pup he produces is not a carrier of the condition )
are you prepared for her temprament to change during the pregnancy, which may or may not carry on after she has had the pups?
can you drop work at the drop of a had if she goes into labor?
if something goes wrong and you need to get her to the vets to save her or the pups can you aford the bill as normal pet insurance does not cover breeding?
if something did happen to her or she just couldnt produce milck(hapens in human so can happen in dogs) or maybe she just cant take to the pups, can you aford the time to feed every hour or so?
are you prpared for the amout of damege that a litter of 5-6 puppies can do to your home.?
are you going to vacinate and/or microchip the pups before they leave for new homes?
are you able to spend the time vetting owners, home checks, police checks etc?
if you cant find homes for every pup can you keep them ?
if one of the owners is having problems of family isues sor something that means they cand afored the time or money to keep the dog would you be able to take a pup back at almost a year old or older top either keep or find a new home for.?
to me breeding is a masive responsobilaty, that needs more reserch thant most people seem to put in, and more time than people seem to think. some people just see pound sines knowing how much they payed for their own pup.
as for colour i think you need to look further back. you might need to k now that colours her siblings werer and the colours of siblings in her mum and dads litters same for the poodle stud. but from what i have herd the black geen is very dominant so you might get more blacks.
