Neal, I'm sorry, but you are, by definition, a back yard breeder. You are not a real breeder, with a breeding program and specific goals for your program. Nobody is saying you're a terrible person or that you don't love your dogs, but being a great pet owner and breeding fluffy are two different things.
Real (good) breeders take great care in selecting breeding parents, for reasons that give a very good probability to producing a specific outcome. They assess the genetic lines back several generations, looking at previously produced pups for good qualities and bad.
Overall, I think you've got a great response from this thread. If you'd posted it on a dog specific board, you would have got flamed right off the board
Regardless, at this point it's done, so good luck with your pups.
