I found a list of questions in the internet that I found interesting. If you are thinking about a long term breeding program you might want to ask yourself some of these questions. Let me say now I am not saying you have to follow this or anything else, I am going to stay out of that part of this discussion. I just wanted to add a little food for thought on the subject.

1.   Not everyone should breed dogs, be honest with yourself.
2.   What are your reasons for breeding?
3.   What are you breeding for? What is your end goal?
      a.   What are the characteristics that it will take to accomplish this?
               i.   Prioritize them from most important to least important.
4.   Do you have the resources you will need to accomplish your goal; if not do you have the means to get them?
5.   Do you understand basic genetics? If not are you willing to learn?
6.   Do you have the resources and means to test your product?
7.   Do you have the ability to cull what doesn’t work or is undesirable?
8.   Sometimes what you want is already out there and you can just tweak it, you don’t always have to re-create the wheel. Some people get visions of grandeur and cannot help themselves.

Just thought this might spice up the convo.
