Breeding my dog?

Question

does anyone arround Preston Lanc's have a rottweiler (male) that they would be willing to use as a stud for mine?? for a fee or pick of litter??

YES YES AND YES to most of the comments however to the ones from the us the rescuse you are refering to are a bit far to go to the reason people want pups from my dog is that she is VERY well tempremented she has been placed twice at crufts and she has crufts right through her breeding the reason im not getting one from a rescue is that you dont know the FULL background of the dog or its full health history

thanks to the first answerer i hope to hear from you :))

dirreah how do i contact you sorry im new to this board

Answer 1

Sounds like you are going about it the right way eg. showing your b1tch and proving that she is of breeding quality. The best way to find a stud that will complement your b1tch is to watch the males getting judged at some of the shows that you attend. Watch them move and judge their conformation in regards your b1tch. You will be looking to strengthen her attributes but not double up on any faults. Get talking to the breeders of those dogs you like the look of. They will want to compare pedigrees to make sure that the match well to avoid health and conformation faults. Make sure that the stud you choose has good hip and elbow scores and clear eye tests. Remember that if any of the pups develop a default that could have been avoided by proper testing, then the new owners could sue you - so make sure that both dam and sire have had all the tests.

Don't settle for second best when choosing a stud (you will NOT find a good stud dog on Yahoo Answers, good studs do not need to advertise as they have queues of people wanting them). To get the best possible litter, one to be proud of, then you need to do your research. If you bought your b1tch off of a reputable breeder then go back to them and ask for advice on what studs to use as they will know what lines complement theirs. A good breeder will also mentor you through the breeding and whelping process, as this is not for the faint-hearted and you will need experienced hands so ensure the safe arrival of the pups and the maintain the wellbeing of your b1tch (b1tch die during whelping regularly).

Good Luck. Breeding for the improvement of the breed if very fullfilling. Get your girl a good stud dog to cover her (preferably a Champion of exceptional quality, good breeding and temperament). A good stud generally costs the same as a bad one.

Since you are posting this here it's pretty obvious that you have no experience in breeding dogs, and it's quite a complicated science to get involved in, as well as very expensive. Do you know the complete genetic history of your dog (AND the stud you use)? If not you risk all sorts of genetic problems with the puppies, as well as birthing problems. This is your dog's life you are messing with as well, and many things can go wrong with pregnancy and birth, and you really shouldn't just go about breeding dogs until you've apprenticed under an accomplished breeder for quite some time. To do otherwise is extremely irresponsible, and your dog depends on you to take care of her health and wellbeing. She is not a money-maker.

Are you prepared to spend thousands of dollars on a possible emergency c-section, puppy shots, deworming, dew claw removal, etc. for a litter of puppies? Do you know what to do if a puppy is born breeched? Not breathing? etc. I would really consider these things before you consider breeding. I'm not trying to be mean, but these are lives you will have in your hands ;)

Answer 3

This is the worst possible way to find a suitable stud for your female. First of all, she must be over two years old, have a clear hip dysplacia score, and be certified free from OCD. She must have a sound temperament, preferably holding a breed or other organisation temperament certificate. She must also be vaccinated and wormed by the vet.
Secondly, the dog you pick must also be HD and OCD free, wormed and vaccinated and temperament tested. The owners must present the documents before you go ahead and oyu must check that they are genuine.
Thirdly, both animals must have ideal conformation. Most pet owners can't assess conformation or condition so the usual way is to enter in shows and let the judge assess the dog.
Finally you must be clear of your responsibilities as a puppy breeder. Reputable breeders no only do all this, they also have a waiting list of potential owners before they breed.
You need a breeders manual so that you know how to act as midwife, when you're out of your depth and when to call the vet.
You need to know how to check the new born pups for; missing anus, hare lip and cleft palette.
You need to have a den, nest box and playpen ready, and you need to be prepared to dispose properly of several pounds of faeces every day.
You also need to know how to handle a large and powerful dog who's milk has come down and whos hormones are all over the place. Many females become dangerous around the 4th day and won't tolerate anyone around the nest area.

Answer 4

Why bring more dogs into the world when there are so many being killed?? My rottie was full blooded and apparently dumped because she got pregnant by a black chow. She was one of the greatest dogs I had. She was huge and I named her Baby because I never met a sweeter dog. She had a horrible labor and didn't think much about being a mom either. It took alot of time and responsibility to care for her and find loving homes for her 6 puppies. She had 8, but had one before we discovered she was in labor and it died and she had one after we thought she had to be through and it died. All she wanted was all the love she could get and that's all she got for the next 11 years. A rescue animal is the way to go.

SPAY OR NEUTER!!!!!!!!

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 6

This isn't the forum for this. You should contact the Rottweiler breed club for America and talk with them about breeding and getting a referral for a reputable breeder.

I assume that you have followed all the AKC and breed guidelines regarding your female, right?

Like 3+ generations of genetic soundness for all relatives of her?

OFA certifications on her hips?

She's been cleared of any genetic problems by a vet who knows these dogs?

She's been evaluated by several breed experts and judges who verify that she's a dog that will increase the perfection of the breed?

You have no problem losing her in birth?

You have over $1000 ready in case of emergencies?

You already have most of the puppies sold, and sold to people that you have checked out and verified their intentions?

You are ready to urge owners that all pet quality dogs be altered?

You are ready to take any of her offspring back at any time in their lives? Even in 10 years?

You bought the dog from a reputable breeder, with whom you ahve a breeder contract that states that your dog is show quality?

You have worked with reputable breeders in breeding their dogs so you know what to expect at all stages of the pregnancy, and you are able to call them when you need help?

I'm going to link to a few sites that talk about what a reputable breeder is. If you don't meet these guidelines, please have your dog fixed right away. There are so many Rotties put down each year, that there's no reason to contribute to that by breeding a dog that doesn't need to be bred. You also put your dog at much greater risk of early death by keeping her unaltered and breeding her. Simply having apurebred AKC registered dog does not mean that she should be bred. Please consider the implications very seriously and ask yourself what kind of person you are. 2-5 million unwanted animals are killed in shelters each year, you have to be very careful about contributing the that unnecessarily. Breeding because you want a puppy, because your friend wants a dog, or to make money are not responsible reasons. Responsible breeding is ONLY done to improve the line.

Answer 7

Things to keep in mind before breeding. Have both dogs been tested for hip displaysia? You do not want the puppies to have problems. Are both healthy. How old are they. Why are you breeding. Are you breeding just to have puppies or to better the breed? Have you gotten in touch with your local rottie club and talked to some of them? That is what I did when I wanted to get into breeding shelties. I found a really good person who has taught me all the right ways to go about it. He is a wonderful mentor to me. This way I can breed good, healthy puppies and not back yard puppy mill puppies that are not healthy and have not had all the vet tests. If you love the breed and want to do this the right way, get in touch with your local club and find a mentor. Please!!!

Answer 8

Do you honestly think that there are not enough Rotts in the world that you have to go and create more? There are currenlty 3,480 Rotts up for adoption on Petfinder alone. http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=3&type=Dog
I own a rescue shelter in Texas and I have 13 Rotts in my care right this moment that need homes.

If you really want puppies, please adopt them!

Look at the following link from the American Humane Society on the effects of spaying vs. not spaying. It is so unhealthy to breed a female. It causes all sorts of health problems, and just contributes to an already uncontrolable problem of overpopulation.

Answer 9

my family breed boxers my Mum has lost a Very healthy ***** though labour and last year Molly had a stroke and blood poisoning She needed a blood transplant and was very poorly. My Mum is now never breeding again. so make sure you know all the facts before doing it. Best of luck xxx

Answer 10

There are so many dogs needing homes nowadays, I wouldn't breed, and I have a doberman. The more dogs are bread and bought, the less chance the dogs at shelters have of survival
