Sooo I haven't been on here in forever sorry for my absence!! I just had this idea to post on here but not really sure if people know alot about dog breeding? I have tried to post on facebook groups about it before but people get really sensitive about dog breeding in general and have deleted me from the group simply just asking about dog breeding. ^^"
Anyways, last october my husband and I bought a shiba inu, she is a gorgeous black and tan adorable and loving dog! She is now around 11 months old? I never really thought about breeding her until I got alot of compliments about her from friends and family. Even my dad is like wow that dog is so beautiful really has a nice posture/AKC look about her!
I was just wondering is it worth breeding her? We have been waiting to spay her because we are unsure if we want to breed her or not and it would only be 1-2 times because breeding could be a fun hobby but we would still like to keep her as our loving family pet and not exactly have a farm of animals. ^^"
I do know it takes alot of work to breed and along with taking care of the puppies, cleaning the area, taking them to the vet for their shots. This breed is really rare and the color is rare too so I just felt like I would be helping the population of them too! I just don't know if I should spay her or not. My vet said there is alot of complications with trying to spay her at a later age and also complications if she does decide to be bred, which there is always risks, etc. But I've been always been curious what it would be like to breed her. Or even how studs work, etc. My husband and I do not have kids and are waiting a few years for that. We also work full time 8 hr shifts a day so not sure how that would work, or get a trusted sitter to help with the pups, etc. Is it really worth it or a ton more work than I am letting on?
Anyways here is her instagram page for videos and photos of her:
