1. Dogs do not have intercourse for social reasons, unlike humans. Just because a dog can breed, doesn't mean it should. NO dog, male or female should be bred until proper genetic testing can be done, which is at least 2 years old. Why are you wanting to breed your dog? Is she an exceptional specimen of her breed, conforming closely to the breed standard? Has she any hard to find virtues that would be a critical addition to the breed? Has she been tested for genetic problems that can be passed on from the parents and does she have an exceptional temperament? Has she been shown, and at least is on her way to being a champion, if not already one? If you want to breed and do it ethically, you must be committed to learning all about your breed..its standard, its genetic diseases, the good, the bad and the ugly. You must understand that your female could die. You might have nothing but dead puppy bodies whether she lives or not. You might have to pay for an emergency c-section to save her and/or the pups. If you lose her, you are responsible for all the feeding of the pups, which will require you to feed them every 1.5 to 2 hours. ALL hours, not just the daylight ones. The puppies will poop 24/7, and this becomes your responsibility to clean whether the mother survives to raise them or not. The pups still need to be vet checked, vaccinated and dewormed no matter what. When they reach certain stages of their lives, they need proper socialization and guidance. They will be your responsibility at least for 8 weeks. After that 8 weeks, you are responsible to make sure they never wind up homeless in a shelter or rescue. To ensure that, you will have to do homechecks and make up contracts to be certain the new owners are going to take care of them for life. You have to agree to always be available to take back your puppies no matter what. If you want to be a responsible breeder, look up your local breed club, jump in and educate yourself. Listen to the advice of REPUTABLE breeders and learn all you can about your dog. If you just wanna make puppies to sell for lotsa money, don't bother. We have too many of those already.
