we have a 3 month old boxer pup.Was wondering what age you can breed them from?

Answer 1

I know your puppy is very young and the idea of breeding a litter might be just that - an idea - but you need to do quite a lot of research before you consider breeding seriously.

I looked through some of the answers and the ones to take notice of are,

They are all saying what I think - if you need to ask such a basic question then at the moment you are not prepared to breed a litter. Also it isn't as easy as you might think - there can be all sorts of medical problems or problems with rejected puppies. The female can die in whelp; the puppies can all die. Looking after a healthy litter is hard work, looking after a sick litter is horrendous.

Trying to find good homes is not as easy as you would think. Boxer Rescue Societies have loads of dogs that were someones puppy once.

There are enough people breeding Boxers at present without - and I mean this kindly - amateurs adding to the Boxer population.

Boxers have a number of genetic problems that responsible breeders are aware of and are trying to eradicate by selective breeding.

I am being negative but I have been involved with dog rescue for many years and have also seen the results of poor breeding and dogs born with genetic problems. I have also seen females whose health has been seriously undermined through being used as puppy- producing machines.

Answer 3

Dog breeding is a fine art, and amateurs really should steer clear. Boxers have all kinds of medical problems in their bloodline, and breeding should be done with care. Add to that all the unwanted puppies in the world, and I really would think again. Can you guarantee a home for life for each puppy that might be produced, and their offspring? Would you be prepared for the large financial cost of having a litter? Would you be prepared to lose your dog due to pregnancy complications? Could you hanble 6 puppies destroying your house? Would you vet homes for your puppies, or would you jsut sell them on? I dislike this practice with a passion. Good breeders vet their potential owners, and will refuse to sell to people that they do not think would be suitable to have one of their dogs. Would you be able to rear the pups yourself, day and night, if their mother rejected them? Where did you get the dog? Do you know the medical history of her bloodline? Seriously, leave it to professionals. At 3 months, and even probably at 16 months, you will have no idea what kind of dog this will turn out to be, and therefore no idea whether she would make a good mother, particularly if you don't know her family history. There are so many unwanted dogs out there. Why not contact boxer rescue for another dog?

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

Answer 5

IF you have to do it wait until she is AT LEAST one year old. She should go through at least one or 2 heat cycles. There are many unwanted puppies in the world, and breeding encourages people not to provide homes for animals that need them the most!! For your dogs health, have her spayed ASAP!!! Enjoy your wonderful dog!! IF you have her spayed before her first heat cycle her chances of getting ovarian cancers and tumors will be greatly reduced!!! The longer you let her go without being spayed the more her chances of cancer will increase!! Also younger puppies recover much quicker from surgery the younger they are!! Don't forget some dogs need a C section which can cost $400-$800. Be prepared to have you new puppy vaccinated ASAP by a veterinarian and if you do breed several months from now....don't forget to also have your puppies vaccinated by a vet as well, Parvo is deadly to pups. Breeding is costly and time consuming so be prepared!!

Answer 6

HI Sorry but if you have to ask the age your dog needs to be for breeding. you don't know enough about it to breed.it isn't just a case of putting two dogs together.they don't always have puppy easy.then there vet bills. have you got a breed you can find good home for?and have you got the time to vet the homes that they will go to?there all this to think about before you even start breeding. and that's apart from making shore you dogs ancestors have good blood lines so your puppy's will be born healthy and have no problems,best wishes if you go a head and breed. but on top of this there are allot of sleepless nights before you can just leave a new mom with her baby's. not every new mom knows what to do as soon as she as her first litter.all the best sammylee,

Answer 7

You want to breed your dog? Why? Do you know about all the genetics in her line? Are all her littermates and parents free of genetic defects? Are they all show quality dogs? Did you get her from a fabulous and reputable breeder (not a backyard breeder, not a puppy mill, not a pet shop)? Are you willing to continue genetic testing on her and her puppies? Are you willing to take back any of the puppies who don't work out in homes? Are you going to screen potential owners fully?

If you don't know how old a dog should be when it's able to be bred, you shouldn't be doing it. You'll contribute to the 2-5 million animals that are killed every year due to overpopulation. You'll contribute to genetic problems in the line. Breeding should be left to the professionals who know what to do and when to do it.

Please, just get your dog fixed and let him or her live a happy and free life. : )

Answer 8

I have bred boxers for 10 years and you should make sure that all of the genetic tests have been done to make sure you are not going to pass on any defects. You should wait until she is at least 2 and heat cycles. Also keep in mind that it is not a treat to have a litter of puppies. It is hard on the mom to have the puppies and it is a lot of hard work to raise a litter of puppies. There are hundreds of unwanted puppies and dogs out there. Make sure that you don't add the that needlessness.

Answer 9

Depends if its a male or a female.
Females shouldn't be mated before 18 months of age. Don't just use your dog for stud once then expect him to forget it, it'll change his attitude. If they never breed they don't miss it, once they have they'll want to do it again.
Prospective clients will expect to see full veccination certificates and a current certificate of worming from your vet, and they'll expect you to know what you are doing so buy some breeding manuals.

Answer 10

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/0U29A

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.

To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.
