I live in Brisbane, Australia and I have a 2 year old West Highland White Terrier. I want to start breeding her in the next year. What should I expect and where do I start. She isn’t registered with the Canine Control Council yet should I do that first?
I’m sure everyone that breeds dogs has had their first litter so I’m just wanting to know if anyones got any tips or help.
Unless she was registered with the CCCQ at birth by her breeder than you can’t do it now. There is probably a good reason that she wasn’t placed on the main register to start with and may not be suitable for breeding.
If she was registered but as limited (cannot be shown or bred) then only the breeder can get that changed. The only thing you may be able to do is get it touch with her breeder and check.
I highly recommend that you look into this a lot more before you even consider breeding. Firstly is why? Wanting a litter because they’re cute or because you think it would be fun is not a good enough reason. The only reason that you should be breeding is to improve your own line of dogs and to try and better the breed.
** just be aware that there seems to be a bit of a puppy glut in Queensland at the moment. You may end up being left with a houseful of puppies.

If you do not know what to expect and how to start please do not breed your dogs.
It takes a lot of experience to breed dogs…and if you breed them with out knowing the basic knowledge and medical care you are a BYB….

Yes, everyone that breeds dogs has their first litter at some point.
The *responsible* breeders however do a lot of work before the first time they breed, showing their dogs to make sure that they conform to the breed standard and are specimens worthy of contributing to the breed, and health testing them to make sure that they are producing the healthiest puppies possible. Because the truth is, there are simply TOO MANY sub-standard dogs in shelters for anyone to be creating more of them. If you want to breed you need to be doing all of those things to prove that your dog is "good enough," basically.

Why do you want to breed? Go to the RSPCA and look at all the unwanted dogs there.
Recent statistics of the Department of Local Government show that more than 60,000 dogs and cats are killed each year in New South Wales alone. Those numbers do not include animals dumped in national parks where domestic animals die of starvation, are killed by other animals or harm the natural ecosystem.
Do you want to add to the deaqth row population?
Yes you must register with the CCC first. Read on:
