I dont see any reason why they wont, I think they can still make it as the 6th or 7th seed.Your opinions???
-Health testing (OFA or OVC, heart, eyes, hereditary diseases). -Proving the dogs worthy of breeding (either they are show quality and have achieved their championship title in the ring, or working quality, is bred for a working purpose (not agility or f
Educate your parents on the problems/dangers associated with backyard breeding. THEN tell them that Blu might be used as a broodmare. I have a feeling that they'll try to help you help Blu. There is a chance that they won't change their minds, but it's worth a try. Regardless, the owners said that they would geld the stallion, right? Trust them to stick to their word. If they don't, and end up having him cover BluWell, there isn't much you can do about that. Blu is theirs. They can do whatever they want with her. Good luck.
I don't know about 'perfect'!!! I can only tell you how I started. I bought what turned out to be very much a pet male of the breed I wanted. I joined the Breed Club, and started taking him to a few little shows - he wasn't bought as anything other than a pet, but I thought he was truly wonderful, and what the heck. I soon discovered he wasn't 'all that' in terms of winning in the ring (he hated it in any case). Having joined the Breed Club, I met up with a lady who had a lovely puppy, and eventually decided I'd like a second dog, and she allowed me to have pick of the males from her next litter, which I persuaded her to repeat (same male to the same dam) so I'd have the chance of getting one just like her puppy. I had to wait of course. Turned out he wasn't at all like her puppy, but he was showable, and eventually made his Championship - although by then we'd moved from the UK to Canada. The bug had bitten, and I bought a b itch puppy (imported from the UK, similarly bred to my second male). I was going to mate her to him, but in the meantime (this was 4 years down the road) realised he wasn't right for her, and when the time was right to mate her, went to a completely outside stud. I bred my first litter 7 years from buying my first dog!! BYBs breed any old dog to any old b itch with the main objective being MONEY. Responsible breeders, on the other hand, don't expect to make money - they are usually quite happy to have a good new puppy to carry on their bloodline/show. If they break even on a litter, that's a bonus!! And the homes their surplus puppies go to are always more important than the money they might take for each puppy. In brief.
