• You  may lose your bitch and you might even lose her puppies.

• You should only breed a litter if you truly believe that you can contribute to the betterment of the breed according to the breed standard as it is published by the parent club for your hound breed.
• Raising a litter of well adjusted puppies requires a lot of time and energy.
