I have received numerous breeding questions over the years about how to determine or better predict what breeding matches will produce. While there is no magic ball or perfect formula to tell you the future, common sense and ethics can help to eliminate many of the breed's health, temperament, and structure problems. Yes, even temperament is genetically encoded with the majority statistics influenced from the mother, with a small balance shared by the father and environment.
No matter how much you want more puppies just like your wonderful dog, no matter how well your show dog performs, breeding is not a requirement and should be considered with an enormous sense of responsibility.You are intentionally creating a living creature that is completely at your mercy. Please make it something worth contributing to the canine community, not just something that looks cute or pretty.
