To BREED or Not to BREED?

As an American Bully owner i am very proud of owning one. It was not cheap when i got my dream Bully. I did not have tons of money so i really have to work a lot and save to get myself my dream BULLY. I got myself a female bully pup. The moment i had my pup I already have in my head a detailed plan on what will happen to her. A part of it was to breed her to the best STUD available here in the PHILIPPINES. At six months old she was betrothed. It took me 4 months of research, endless emails and tons of phone calls to close the deal. Before the deal was closed i have to make sure that my female was on her tip top shape. I needed to get a certification from a local vet that my female is free of disease. I needed to finish the UKC registration of my dog.  She was bred when she was on her second heat (1 year and 2 months) My wife and i could not believe it when we checked the bills that we payed for while my bully was carrying the puppies inside her. And when the puppies came out the dog food consumption in the house was tripled. The puppies got their complete vaccine before they left our house. After that breeding i came to conclusion that i need to check the following before proceeding to breeding my dog. Here are the questions you can ask yourself.

1. Health of the dog is top priority. Is he/she free of any disease? We do not want sick puppies.
2. Paper works of the dog. Is your bully UKC, ABKC registered? This will guarantee that you are not doing a shortcut to produce the looks of your bully. It will also help protect your name from scammers.
3. Do you have the means to support the breeding? Are you ready for all the bills? Do you even have a job to start with?
4. Are you contributing to the bully community with the result of your breeding? Your aim should be to improve the quality of the breed.
5. Is my family or kennel ready for a breeding?
6. Do i have time to take care of the puppies after birth? Are you ready to help the Dam in nursing the puppies?
7. Do i have all the information/knowledge in breeding? Remember "Knowing is half the battle!"
8. Set your goals before you breed.
9. Research of the bloodline?
10. Is there anyone you can consult if you have questions? I prefer an experienced Bully Breeder.

Keep it Bully Fam!!!!
