If you read through this forum you will find lots of information on breeding - what I have learned is that it is not for the feint hearted.

There can be many complications, the mother sometimes needs a caesearean section - which can be expensive, the rearing of such small pups is difficult, you would need to be there 24/7 with them when they are tiny to make sure they are thriving- hypoglycemia can be a real danger to them.

You really have to question is it worth possibly losing Lola in order to get a boy pup - it could cost you a lot more in vet fees, stud, and other essentials than if you were to just buy one.

I know I never could nor would breed from my pets - I will leave it to the experts, I would be far too afraid of something going wrong.

So read all you can and if you do decide to go ahead - be sure you have expert advice and a good vet.
