Without a history of the bloodlines (do you have that without registration?) there is NO way to even GUESS at what genetic illness could rear its ugly head when your dogs turn 4 or 5 or 6.

By whose standards....yours? There's a REASON purebred dogs are required to have registration papers for participation in the BREED RING. Without a certified pedigree, there is no proof of heritage and therefore no proof that the dogs are purebred. There's a REASON why ethical breeders take their dogs to shows...so they can be evaluated amongst a group of their peers by an IMPARTIAL THIRD PARTY (a JUDGE) against the standard for the breed. Without doing this, you have no idea how your dogs measure up.

That's right. If you can't do what needs to be done to understand WHAT YOU'RE BREEDING...then NO, you shouldn't breed them!

You HONESTLY don't understand this at all, based on your previous statements. And you can include YOURSELF in that clueless lot of people as well....without knowledge of bloodlines and PROPER certifications for both health and working ability, any breeding activity IS clueless.

Like you said, it has be explained to me, several times, from knowledgeable people.

The overall well being of my two dogs and any puppies they give to this world is my number ONE concern!

Once again, I will not breed them if there is one thing not right or one thing I can not prove.

That is a lot of time from now to prove or disprove "worthyness" of breeding.

How in hell are you going to prove anything without doing what every ethical breeder KNOWS needs to be done? Are you some exception to the wise guidelines of responsible breeding or something?
