I finally got the big promotion and the big house so I'm hoping to get a breeding dog (or pair!) next year for future breeding.
I've owned a number of dogs and have really been in love with my 4 y/o Mini Aussie. I'm thinking about going for a full size Aussie as my next dog, next year, and breeding in the year or two after that. The next big dog show is on the 14th so I thought I'd start getting some contact info there.
The thing is, I got an agreement with the breeder to leave my current dogs tail intact and of course it had a defect and had to go anyway. But, if I did this, with this breed I'd be interested in offering them tail-on. Is messing with the AKC worth it? Would I even be able to find an ethical breeder willing to give me rights with my intentions? I suppose I will see what kind of vibe I get off people at the show.
Or do you think I should explore a less difficult plan? It's early days still.
