Hello. I am not sure why you want to breed more mixed breed puppies when there are so many available in shelters. The only reason to breed a dog is to improve the breed, not add to the overpopulation problem. Please think about this before allowing your mixed breed dog to become pregnant. This is a serious problem in the United States, & the very best you can do is to have your female spayed before she gets pregnant. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
