Stop dog overpopulation. Don't breed.

1. Not all dogs are built to be bred.

Most pets, although lovable, are not of breeding quality because they have genetic defects and other problems that should not be perpetuated. People who breed dogs for a living are very careful about choosing which dogs they will breed together based on physical characteristics and behavior. Some people decide that it would be fun to breed and just start looking for a dog that has the proper equipment and is willing. This can be a huge mistake.

2. There are already too many dogs in the world.

Breeding your pet is a serious endeavor and should not be taken lightly. There are far too many pets that end up in shelters without good homes. If your breed of dog has large litters, what will you do if you are unable to sell the puppies? Do you really want to contribute to the massive problem of pet overpopulation?

3. Dogs that aren’t neutered face serious health risks.

Consider your dog’s own health. Male dogs that are neutered are less likely to be hit by cars, because unaltered males have a very strong urge to roam and find a fertile female. Male dogs will go over or under fences, through doors and windows, and will pull leashes out of unsuspecting hands in quest of a mate.

Additionally, neutering greatly reduces the incidence of prostatic disease and eliminates testicular cancer in males, and cuts down on breast cancer in females. The possibility of uterine infections is also eliminated by spaying.

4. Female dogs used for breeding may have unwelcome visitors.

If you spay your dog, you will not have to chase persistent male dogs out of your yard. Also, you won’t have to worry about cleaning up messy heat cycles.

5. Be prepared to work like a dog when your pet goes into labor.

Many people do not realize just how much work and expense is involved with letting dogs have puppies. Getting the mother through pregnancy is the easy part, but labor is truly laborious for dog and owner alike. Dogs usually decide to have their puppies at the most inconvenient times, like 2:00 in the morning when veterinary hospitals are closed.

If your pet develops a problem during delivery, it means at least the expense of an emergency call. If the complications are life threatening, you must be prepared, especially if you have a breed of dog that has a broad head like a pug, to pay for an emergency C-section. It is very distressing to have to leave home in the middle of the night, worry about your pet, get a large veterinary bill and then try to explain to your boss why you cannot possibly come to work the next day.

6. It can be devastating when the puppies die.

There is always the prospect of the loss of some or all of the puppies. A neonatal mortality rate of 10 to 30 percent is considered normal. And, it’s easy to lose a puppy if you don’t have the experience or knowledge to care for newborns. Because puppies are not able to regulate their own body temperature initially, you may need to supplement their environment with heat.

7. Not all dogs make the best mothers.

If your female doesn’t have enough milk to feed all its puppies, or decides that feeding her offspring is not her cup of tea, it will be your responsibility to provide them with nutrition every three to four hours, round the clock. And how many mouths are there to feed?

Another aspect of puppy care that you can look forward to if your dog wants nothing to do with her brood is the manual stimulation of urination and defecation. Until puppies are three weeks old they will only void if directly stimulated. If mom isn’t doing this, you will need to take a moistened cotton ball and gently rub the urogenital area until the babes begin to urinate and pass stool. Failure to do this can result in some pretty unhappy puppies.

8. Good luck seeing a profit!

Your last responsibility before they go to a new home is to have them dewormed, vaccinated, and examined by a veterinarian. You will want to make sure that you have budgeted a sufficient amount for this purpose. Needless to say, if you decide to breed mixed breed puppies, you have no opportunity to recoup this expense.

Puppies are a lot of fun and it can be very exciting when they are born, but more often than not, owners find themselves in over their heads when they decide to endeavor into breeding.

Answer 4

Well when my male won't breed the female I just AI them. But you have to know what you are doing and have all the tools to do so.

Leave them alone for a nite then put them in 2 diffent areas so he can't see her at all. Hopefuly the next day he would have missed her and be more apt to get to "work"

Answer 5

Depending on the breed of dog you own many breeds will not breed naturally and you must have it done artificially. Many dogs must have the puppies by c-section as they will not pass through the birth canal.
It does not sound like you have much experience at this.
Think about neutering/spaying your pets.
Unless you have breeding quality animals you should not be breeding them.

Answer 6

I quote from a maximum respected source: "The words "imperial" and "tiny teacup" are each and every so often used interchangeably to describe undersized Shih Tzu. truly, the words "imperial" or "tiny teacup" would desire to be called what they are definitely.... A fantasy frequently utilized by unethical breeders to create a industry for canines that don't adjust to the breed common. those tiny canines at the instant are not what the Shih Tzu has been through fact it became progressed as a diverse breed in China ’s imperial palace, nor what it might desire to be." because your ambition is to reproduce runty byb crap, all i will say is do no longer. in case you truly have self assurance in this "imperial" shih tzu nonsense, please verify the AKC internet site for the right standards for this breed - on the 2nd you're pathetically clueless.

Answer 7

Give them some time alone; She will get him too. My female poodle all but attacts the male when she is ready. Sometimes the male won't until the female is ready. Good Luck.
