What is Your Goal Behind Breeding a Litter of Puppies?
Whenever dog breeders plan out a litter, they have a clear goal in mind. In general, good dog breeders want to improve the overall health, temperament, and physical characteristics of their dogs.
A breeder should always aim to produce a litter that is an improvement on the previous generation. Whether you are a first-time breeder or an experienced veteran, this principle is always the same.
However, each breeder’s individual goal is going to be different.
Breeders with well established bloodlines may be trying to fine-tune the traits of their dogs, taking into account years or decades of breeding. First time breeders may just want to produce a litter of friendly, well-behaved dogs with fewer health problems compared to the parents.
