@pinkstars86 For a first litter yes I'd say too old. If she had whelped before and there was an important reason to breed her like she was a breed champion or had a very specific trait that would add something maybe. But not a good idea to have a first litter then. Especially if she isn't...

@glenninindy Unfortunately the reality of creating a new breed is lots of time, money and people who want to help. Without that most are doomed to fail eventually even if it's just to not having enough dogs out there that the dogs die out as quickly as they were created. I haven't honestly seen...

@lenam331 Their website is a mess to navigate but this was the blog post I was referring to. https://direwolfproject.com/blog/strongbred-breeding/why-do-we-have-leftover-puppies/ They're trying to justify why they have leftover dogs and some of the reasons are fair for sure, like inflation etc...

@glenninindy I was curious when I saw this so I took a deep dive into this and while the inital principles and dogs looked promising, it now looks like a hot mess. Unfortunately breed creation requires alot of people, and I mean alot, from various different walks of life. Whilst I admire what...

@sqs1 Look here's our experience; My husbands been breeding for 20 years now and I've been in it for 10 years. We specialise in medium breed dogs. We've seen alot of stuff over the years, since I saw it mentioned, we've had a few pyos luckily ours were open and we haven't had to spay any...

@old_orthodoxyusa One explanation for the male dogs behaviour would be if there was another female dog in heat on the nearby vicinity. It's common for intact males to hump females that aren't in heat if they can smell another female elsewhere in the distance. Also some intact males just do...

@kanpachi Not a dog behavior expert. But possibly the dog is showing dominating behavior due to a new intact male in the house. Some male dogs hump to assert dominance.

@hocdmonster Based on your past posts might I ask why you're breeding your dog? You don't seem to know much about breeding. That paired with your comments about not wanting to spend more, makes me wonder if your just doing it for profit like alot of people who come here. I don't want to be...

@frederic12 I do agree with what your saying. But I just wanted to comment the other side of it. Most people are dodgy and do that to save money. However some breeders do it because the vets office isn't always the safest place for puppies. I've known other breeders who took their pups into the...

@bpps The only thing I would add is that some breeders do have more dogs. The comment of more than a handful of dogs is a puppy mill is grossly misleading. As long as the dogs are well cared for and health tested and you have the finances to care for them etc there's nothing wrong with owning...
