    It is *obvious* from your message that you are new to this "dog breeding thing", so I will offer some suggestions to help ensure that you produce healthy, happy puppies and owners.

    1. You say that this is her second heat, is she two years old? A bitch is not
    considered fully mature until the age of two and should not be bred before that
    time.

    2. What titles has she earned? Conformation, obedience, agility? Poodles excel in many arenas. Why title your dog? Because the people that buy your puppies deserve to have a dog that looks like a poodle and acts like a poodle.
    Titles show that your dog is competitive against other members of her breed and
    that she has been deemed to be of breeding quality by someone other than yourself.

    3. Poodles have many health problems Dentition, Lux Patella, eye problems, etc.
    Have you obtained the necessary health certifications to show that she does not have these genetic defects? If not, you need to, all responsible breeders
    do.

    4. How many homes do you have lined up for your puppies? Good breeders always
    have a waiting list. They also guarantee their dogs for life against genetic defects and consider themselves responsible for the dog throughout it's lifetime. (i.e. what are you going to do in three years when they call and say
    they don't want the dog any more?)

    5. Do you have a large amount of disposable cash lying around? Once you add the costs of the genetic tests ($200.00), the stud fee for a good quality stud
    ($500.00++) a premium diet and vet prenatal care for your bitch ($250+) the docking of the tails and removal of the dewclaws ($25.00+ per puppy), not to mention age appropriate vaccines and worming ($30.00+ per puppy per visit) - You will need to have their 6 and 9 week old vaccines done before they go. You
    *do* know that toy breeds are not usually weaned and ready for new homes before
    9-10 weeks, right? Oh and don't forget there may also be a $600.00+ emergency
    C-section at 3 in the morning, your bitch may die in whelp or not be able to nurse, and then you will need to be on standby to nurse the litter yourself every 2 hours for weeks.

    This is just an overview of *some* of the responsibilities of a good breeder. Others include socialization, screening puppy buyers, clean-up and sterilization of the area at *least* three times a day and on and on.

    I would also like to mention that good breeders study their pedigrees and the pedigrees of potential studs for months, if not years ahead of schedule in order to pick the best possible match for their dog (reads - not the dog down
    the street with papers) They don't say "Oh, she's in season, I have 10 days (more or less) to find a stud"

    Now that you have done all that, let me mention that taking all of the above precautions can *not* guarantee a successful breeding. You may lose your bitch, you may lose your puppies, you might lose them all.

    In short, unless your bitch is such an exceptional representative of her breed
    that you feel that you are genuinely making improvements to the breed as a whole by breeding her...... then spay your pet and enjoy her. If you are looking for a companion for her, try Poodle rescue, they always have *plenty* of unwanted poodles bred by people just like yourself.......

    So well said, BRAVO
