Vets Aren't Breeders, you are your breeding dogs advocate.
Other Breeders Aren't Always Right, Everyone Has Their own Experiences and own problems.
Trust Your Gut
Always Health Test and Breed Properly.
(Correct Temperament comes before Health and color)
Try Not To Feel Like A Failure if a puppy or so is born sleeping with live anything there's also always dead babies.... original quote is when you raise livestock there's always deadstock.

You can't be OCD About Everything!
Keep Going Forward And Taking Care Of Yourself, don't jump to all of potential clients "commands" or "demands" you have a Life to to live too that's most of the time busy!!
Create and Enforce a Contract that Has Everything. Don't worry about it being too long as us Humans have a habit of making loopholes.
Never Say Never In Breeding, Because it's going to happen. "that's never going to happen to me" yes yes it will.

PRINCIPLES TO BREED BY

Look to the dams of the stud dogs. It is the bitch that provides the complement to the sire and determines the distinction among his offspring both in quality and producing ability.
•Look to the grandparents to see the potential of a breeding combination. If the qualities you're seeking aren't there you aren't going to get them.
Evaluate the producing ability of a dog or bitch by the BEST offspring they produce. All dogs can produce uninspiring or poor offspring, but very few can produce superior individuals.
Don't knowingly introduce problems. All dogs have the potential to produce health problems. Play the odds and breed to dogs that are health checked whenever possible. If you haven't had a certain problem yet, you will if you work with nature for any length of time.
•Be realistic. If there isn't something inspiring in your litter don't keep anything.
• Selection is the key - be ruthless and remain steadfast to your priorities.
Keep your numbers down. You only need to keep the best - not the most.
Evaluate your dogs by comparing them to the best there is now and the best of
the past rather than what is winning in the ring today.
What ye sow ye shall reap - don't add something to the gene pool if you don't
want it to show up.

GETTING READY FOR APPRAISAL

We all want the highest scores for our dogs when they get appraised. The owner can play a big role in making the task of the senior appraiser easier and enjoyable in the appraisal ring and also less stress for the owner – and the dog – and the appraiser.

One must bear in mind that, to appraise a dog, is a responsible task and also a very difficult task, especially when the owner/handler does not know what is expected of him and the dog.

So we thought it a good idea as to give you some pointers regarding this. It will also be good practice to enlighten your puppy buyers of this.

All dogs must be appraised before they are bred. Sometimes a dog needs to be appraised at a very young age as to start breeding with. Although the minimum age is 12 months, it is recommended to rather bring it when it is 18 months and more matured. It must be noted that the appraiser appraises the dog according to the Breed Standard of an adult dog and does not take its age in consideration.

When you pre-enter your dog for an appraisal, please attach a copy of its Birth Certificate or Registration Certificate (for a re-appraisal). Otherwise you need to bring it with to the registration table on the day of the appraisal.

Your dog must be on a choke chain wearing harnesses will not be accepted. Harnesses are only allowed in the show ring for puppies under 6 months of age. Dogs must be on a choke chain for 2 reasons: to keep your dog safe in case of a fight and also that the appraiser can judge the shape of its neck properly. Keep the dog on a short leash.

Socialise your dog. Get it used to travel by car. Socialise it with other dogs, loud noises like the strange and the loud noise of an announcer/music over the PA system – other dogs barking, strangers /dogs that move too close by, etc.

During an appraisal the dog must always stand next to its handler. It cannot be appraised when sitting or lying down. So, if you have taken it to training classes, you must teach him another command once you stop – he should not sit down when you stop walking.

Teach your dog from a very young age how to show its teeth. Stand on the right side of the dog. Close its jaws by putting your left hand across its nasal bone and your right hand beneath the lower jaw, part the front of the upper and lower lips with your thumbs and, Wallah! its bite can be seen. If the appraiser is unable to see this, the lowest possible score for the bite will be given.

At some point you will be asked to walk your dog away and towards the appraiser with its head up in the air. Move the choke chain forward until just behind its ears. After that you will be asked to run in a triangular shape. Practice this with your dog, because some owners just seem to be unable to do this. If the owner cannot do this, the dog will also not be able to run smoothly, buoyantly, effortless nor parallel. And this section of the appraisal chart carries a lot of weight.

Although dogs are not scored on their overall condition any more, make a good impression by presenting a clean and healthy dog. Do not bring an over- or underfed dog into the ring, neither a sick one. See to it beforehand that all wounds and sores have been treated. If the dog had been operated or had an accident that you think will impair its performance, you need to present a letter from your veterinarian to the appraiser on entering the ring.

If possible, try not to bring a pregnant female or one that just has had a litter for appraisal – their top lines are sagging at that stage. As mentioned earlier, the appraiser can only score what he sees on that day.

Please take other entrants into consideration by making arrangements prior to the event if your female is in season. It is impossible to appraise the next dogs in the same area where she has been.

Last, but not least: accept the fact that the perfect Boerboel still has to be born. Accept your dog’s shortcomings and faults. Listen to the advice that the senior appraiser has to offer and ask if you do not understand. It is his duty to inform you the best he can.

20 Basic Breeding Principles by Raymond Oppenheimer

January 26, 2011
1. Don’t make use of indiscriminate outcrosses. A judicious outcross can be of great value; an injudicious one can produce an aggregation of every imaginable fault of the breed.

2. Don’t line breed just for the sake of line breeding. Line breeding with complimentary types can bring great rewards; with unsuitable one, it will lead to immediate disaster.

3. Don’t take advice from people who have always been unsuccessful breeders. If their opiinions were worth having, they would have proved it by their successes.

4. Don’t believe the popular cliche about the brother or sister of the great champion being just as good to breed from. For every one that is, hundreds are not. It all depends on the animal conceerned.

5. Don’t credit your dogs with virtues they don’t possess. Self-deceit is a stepping stone to failure.

6. Don’t breed from mediocrities. The absence of a fault does not in any way signify the presence of its corresponding virtue.

7. Don’t try to line bred to two dogs at the same time; you will end by line breeding to neither.

8. Don’t assess the worth of a stud dog by his inferior progeny. All stud dogs sire rubbish at times. What matters is how good their best efforts are.

9. Don’t allow personal feelings to influence your choice of a stud dog. The right dog for your bitch is the right dog, whoever owns it.

10. Don’t allow admiration of a stud dog to blind you to his faults. If you do, you will soon be the victim of autointoxication.

11. Don’t mate together animals which share the same fault. You are asking for trouble if you do.

12, Don’t forget that it is the whole dog that counts. If you forget one virtue while searching for another, you will pay for it.

13. Don’t searh for the perfect do as a mate for your b**h. The perfect dog for every bitch does not exist — never has, never will.

14. Don’t be frightened of breeding from animals that have obvious faults, so long as they have compensating virtures. A lack of virtues bis by far the greatest fault of all.

15. Don’t mate together non-complementary types. An ability to recognize type at a glance is a breeder’s greatest gift. Ask the successful breeders to explain this subject — there’s no other way of learning. (I’d define non-complimentary types as ones which have the same faults and lack the same virtures).

16. Don’t forget the necessity to preserve head quality. It will vanish like a dream if you do.

17. Don’t forget that substance plus quality should be one of your aims. A fool can breed one without the other.

18. Don’t foret that a great head plus soundness should be one of your aims. Some people can never breed either.

19. Don’t ever try to decry a great terrier. A thing of beauty is not only a joy forever, but a great terrier should be a source of aesthetic pride and pleasure to all true lovers of the breed.

20. Don’t be satisfied with anything but the best. The second best is never good enough
