I could really do with sound advice from the people in the know!
After getting Alan 2 years ago, and Paige 1 year ago, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a cocker mum (although I have had my ups and downs with training!)
I have started showing, and we are doing really well, and Alan, who is a working cocker, has started agility.
I love being with my dogs and I am debating getting another in the future when Paige is a little older.
Anyway, I would love at some stage to become a breeder if I get a successful show bitch, but I have noticed there is quite alot of conflicting advice on here. I know it is something you need to go into with your eyes wide open, for the right reasons, not to make money, etc, etc, but I have also noticed that there are some successful breeders on here that have been doing it for many years, some for over 20. I just wondered what made you start out into breeding and what has made you keep going, is it the same love for your dogs and showing that I have or is it something else that I am missing?
Would love to hear your advice. I don't work so have all the time in the world to devote to my dogs but have had so many people tell me different things about breeding so would love to hear from experienced breeders that know what they are talking about.
Many thanks
