...for getting started? This is years down the road, and I plan to have at least two breeding mentors. I am interested in a number of breeds and I'm currently trying to narrow it down to one breed. I plan on doing health testing, only having 1 litter a year maximum, offering a lifetime health guarantee against genetic diseases, taking any dog or bitch I produced back into my care if need be, etc. I want to better my chosen breed, and breeding will be a passionate hobby for me. I shall have a thorough and well thought out contract that insures the best interest of my puppies, not myself. It will require feeding a raw diet or feeding one of the few commercial foods that I approve of, taking puppy to approved training classes and socialization classes, etc. So... How do I go about finding a breeding mentor? What things should I study up on? How can I narrow my list of potential breeds? Any advice or input will be greatly appreciated.
