Before breeding it is definitely good, as mentioned above, to check the health of the parents before. You will also want to xray her hips and know that the stud has been xrayed so that they aren't passing horrible hip diseases. There's a lot that goes into safely and responsibly breeding any dog.
^Agree. That and there are already SO many dogs out there. We really don't need more.
