German Shepherd Breeding: Tips for First Time Breeders

If you’re a first-time breeder it’s critical that you’re prepared as much as you can for your first litter.

German Shepherd breeding is a very challenging experience, but it can also be a rewarding one. The first thing you must know is that it’s very time-consuming. Beyond that, it’s labor-intensive and can even result in failed attempts, which can often be heartbreaking. You must have a true commitment and a lot of patience if you’re going to see it through. When done properly it will take months (if not years) of being organized and diligent planning before the actual breeding takes place. In addition, it’s going to be expensive. These facts aren’t meant to deter you from proceeding, they’re just the harsh reality of successful breeding.
