I'm having a problem about her. She is already dewormed and from her pedigree and the Vet's findings she was a poure labrador. Anyway when I bought her from the petshop , she was 5 months and very sick from worm. her worms are gone and damage makes her small. Her head was small and she was as big as a 7 month old.

her nutrition was actually proper. But she was still small.

This is my question.

Was there a chance for my ***** to have big labrador offsprings.

This is not a good dog to breed, and I'm being honest. Her health was poor, her size is sub-standard, and you bought her from a petshop. You don't know her genetics, or whether or not she has any genetic diseases that will show up in the puppies. It wouldn't be fair to the people who took home your puppies, and it wouldn't be fair to the puppies, either.

There is a good way to go about this... Start at http://www.akc.org Even if you *aren't* in the US, there is a lot of good information there for dog breeders. Research first, breed much later. Find a breeding mentor who knows the breed and is willing to teach you the things you can't learn from books and websites, and who will help you along the way. And if you *really* want to do this, find beautiful, healthy, happy 'foundation dogs' to start your program with. You'll never have to feel bad about the puppies you send home with people, and you'll never have angry people hunting you down for blood because their puppy just died of some horrible genetic problem that you didn't see coming...

Pet shops are not the best place to buy dogs, there is a possibility that your pedigree papers are false or that the puppy was breed at a puppy mill where standards of breeding are not high on the priority list.
This is not a dog that should be bred, because she will probably not carry the genes needed to meet standards, If you are looking to make money from her pups= you won't= no one will pay top dollar for puppies from a home breeder who can not show the lineage .
Your dog is a perfect example of how a breed is ruined by bad breeding, but that does not make her a bad dog. Love her for who she is, and let her love you back.

If she's not a champion and a great example of her breed, you shouldn't breed her at all. Pet shop dogs are often from puppy mills and the poorest quality - although your pup may have turned out to be very sweet dog. And if you do breed her, you may be setting yourself up for more problems than you know!

A female doesn't need to be bred to satisfy her emotional needs. There is an awful lot that goes into breeding dogs right - are you sure you're ready? Labs are usually easy whelpers, but do you know how to tell if the pups need to be delivered by an expensive emergency c-section? Do you know how to build a proper whelping box with a pig-rail, so that none of the pups can be crushed behind or under their mom? Do you know what eclampsia is? If you don't, your dog could die. Do you know how to tell when all the pups have been born? If there are any left inside her, they could die and so could she. Do you know where the nearest emergency clinic is? Dogs often deliver in the middle of the night. If there are any problems with the whelping, it may cost you $100 just to walk in the clinic's door - then all the other costs on top of that.
Before you breed, you have to have your vet do a health exam and fecal tests and blood tests for intestinal worms and heartworm to be sure her health is good. Then make sure your dog and the male you select (who should be a champion - your pups will be worth more!) are tested for Brucellosis - a canine VD.
If you breed her to a top quality male from an experienced breeder, they can help you with advice and may even show up to help you deliver the pups - but usually you're on your own. They can also advise you as to whether or not your female is good enough to breed and that she has no major faults that she could pass on. Expect to pay at least the sale price of one pup for your stud fee.
If you just want a pup to keep for yourself, it's a lot easier (and cheaper) to buy one than to breed your own. The pups are going to need food and shots and worming and lots of care for eight weeks. If the mother rejects them, guess who is going to be up twice a night and four times a day hand feeding every pup? Have you got the time and energy? You won't make much money breeding dogs if you're doing it right! One of my breeder friends once calculated that she made less than $1.85 per hour after expenses in a litter with no problems. I bred one litter myself (from champion dogs!), but now I'd rather go and buy the pup I want.

If you're still reading, go to www.akc.org and look up breeders. The best breeders will show their dogs in breed, obedience and/or field work - and they will be members of a dog club that promotes breeding health, good-tempered dogs.

I received't reiterate what others have already listed yet grant another thoughts extremely: a million) Have both dogs wellness-examined by employing your veterinarian previous to making a very last determination. See in case you'll get the present vendors to both cover the price or cut up the price with you. that's the initial ahead cost of an place of work call/exam, yet more low-priced contained in the destiny than taking on unexpected wellness themes. a minimum of your vet can help outline achievable themes with the dogs from an exam (minus finding out). 2) hardship a lot less about the age and breed lines and be extra in contact about the dogs' ordinary wellness and glaring social adjustment 3) youthful tremendous breed dogs are frequently "doggies" longer - what's your feeling about that - strong, no longer so strong? 4) a 7 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous properly dealt with wide breed can grant a lot to you or a family individuals - must be extra properly-adjusted, ought to have a extra perfect wellness prestige. yet you do want to be prepared to take on the needs of a "mature" dogs in exercising and wellness care. Many vets propose an complete exam with xrays each and every year and bloodwork two times each and every year for those dogs (extremely tremendous breeds) to help capture any issues early. 5) no remember what the age or breed line, there can nevertheless be wellness issues that crop up you could by no potential practice for. you could in ordinary words do your perfect study and desire to do away with any glaring issues. personal attitude: I at the moment have 3 tremendous breed retrievers, all purebred field-bred (field trial/hunt attempt kinds, no longer conformation kinds). I were given a million as a doggy from the breeder, a million even as she became 15 months previous, and purely were given her sister some months in the past even as she became almost 7 years previous. All 3 have some wellness themes that ought to by no potential be accounted for regardless of the study I did and the total care all 3 have received for the period of their lives. I did study about the wellness difficulty and inconclusive attempt consequences on the 7 yo, yet curiously to be an ordinary minor difficulty. perfect needs at the same time with your determination.

I don't know. It sounds like your dog has been through enough, I wouldn't breed her. Have her fixed, do it for the dog.

Good Luck!
