The job of the breeder is to create a breed of dog with certain desirable characteristics. You should come up with a name for the new breed. Next, decide how you will go about breeding the dogs. (For example, will the "breed" always be a hybrid, or will you continue selective breeding until you get a "true-breeding" group of dogs?) What will be the "standard" for the new breed? What kind of care do the dogs need in order to breed successfully?
