So you consider it appropriate to breed her four times? Most responsible
breeders I know limit their bitches to two litters with an occasional third
before retiring them.
They would have been trying to *improve* the breed each time. You seem to
be only after a male with working parts and a convenient driving distance.
If she had three "quality" litters from the same stud, why change now? Did
he move away?

No "champion bloodlines" required? What about actual championships? What
about health testing?

Do your dogs have all their teeth? Do they have ANY teeth? The calcium
problems in the hairless Cresteds is not a nutritional problem, it's a
genetic one. And it's connected to the same gene that creates the hairless
version. Which is why responsible Crested breeders include powderpuffs in
their breeding programs. What are you doing to address that?
