Welcome to the virtual breeder-dog ownership simulation. In an effort to show you how dog breeding can become a joy or heartache, I have created this simulation to give you an idea about what could potentially happen with you and your dog. This will be an "ever evolving" simulation and I hope to continue to update it periodically. If you have a scenerio that you would like added, please feel free to email me and I will be happy to encorporate it into the pages. Click the silverpaw for each choice.

You have decided that you are going to buy dog and have puppies. You want a "good" dog that you can breed later on, you would like to experience having puppies. You also "know" that having a litter of puppies can be great fun and profitable. In this scenerio we will begin by using a young puppy- a Cocker Spaniel. You must now select if you will be buying from the following...

A breeder recommended from the American Cocker Spaniel Club referral.

A breeder you met while attending a dog show.

A breeder you found on the internet.

A breeder you found in the local paper.

A pet shop.

A friend, relative or neighbor who happens to have a litter of adorable puppies.
