Ok we've established that you're not doing it for the dough. However, there are plenty of great dogs who are in shelters/being fostered/being euthanized that could be standouts in all three categories that you list, with the right home and a bit of training. Not good enough reasons to breed not only one dog, but two. IMHO.

In 30 years of breeding I find it hard to believe you know nothing of

a)progesterone testing

b)AI's and how to do them

c)vaginal strictures

d)persistent hymen

e)bad temperament

You have choices...
Go to a VET and do some progesterone testing to see if her season is normal. Looks can be deceiving.

Go to a VET and have him digitally examine her for normal female structure internally. Ditto.

Go to a VET and have him do an AI if you are not comfortable doing it, knowing her unwillingness to breed may be passed on.

Accept that the bitch has some issues with being mounted and penetrated at this time, and thus decide if you want to pass this on to her daughters...or wait until she is 2...and OFA'd and see if perhaps waiting until she is no longer a PUPPY but a mature adult bitch might solve things.

I did not know all of these things but what is scarier is that the origianl poster who wants to breed dosnt know all of these things.

Speaking of Standard Poodle issues, they are FULL of inheritable issues. Hip Dysplasia is just the beginning. The Poodle Club of America has this to say: [linkhttp://www.poodleclubofamerica.org/health.htm]http://www.poodleclubofamerica.org/health.htm[/link]

Your PUPPY is not old enough to be tested for hip dysplasia. She likely hasn't been tested for any of those other GENETIC illnesses, either. What will you do if one of the puppies comes down with Von Willebrand's disease, and dies? How about Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, or Progressive Retinal Atrophy? I hear that blind puppies are SO much more fun!

oh my....[&o]

please wait until this girl is at least 2 years old and fully health tested for genetic conditions common to the breed.
