Breeding

Learning to acquire the skill and objectivity for a breeding program, having what is termed an "eye" for a dog's merits, may be achieved through contact with established breeders and professional handlers of good reputation. Even some breed experts find it difficult to assess the merits of their own dogs.

Each breed is unique, carrying individual physical and character traits that set it apart from all others. Each has its own peculiar problems beyond sharing those common to many breeds. If you do not already know those problems that beset your breed, as well as the strengths and weaknesses your matron-elect may carry to her offspring, these qualities need to be explored before breeding.

While no dog is perfect, some dogs more closely approach a breed's ideal Standard than do others. These dogs may prove themselves to be worthy of breeding through the quality of their offspring.
