If you are interested in breeding your "Staffie" the best sire to look for is one with a good temperment. Do not breed only for beauty and ignore other flaws the other dog may have. A female dog should be 2 years of age or older before she is bred. Breeding a younger animal would be like a 13 year old child having a baby. NEVER breed an animal with one of its siblings. Like any pregnant female, your dog should be seen regularly by a veterinarian during the gestation period. To insure you are breeding "papered" puppies, only select another animal with papered lineage. <a href="http://www.dogandmaster.com" rel="nofollow">DogandMaster.com</a> Hi Barbera - Here are some more points to consider.
