Great advice. Try talking to some well respected breeders too. Most of them will readily answere your questions. If they see you have a passion for what you're doing many of these guys and gals will give you their shirt off their backs to help you out. They may offer you the chance of a lifetime too. Transparency is big in this business I think. Be up front about your genetics, take accurate records, keep your animals healthy (no "maintenance" feeding).
