Answer 2

If you are on here asking this question, then you probably shouldn't be breeding your dog. Most people agree that breeding should only be done by people who are looking to better the breed standard (that means people with dogs that are champions of their lines).

If you are going to do it, please consider the following. Breeding a dog is EXPENSIVE! Especially since you have the female. You'd need to have both dogs health tested (and I don't mean just taking them to the vet and getting a "she's healthy" - there is a lengthy list of tests that you should have for these dogs to make sure they don't give puppies birth defects or disorders they may be carrying recessively), then there's all the prenatal visits, the time you have to take off from work when she is whelping...

What do you do if your dam decides not to feed the puppies? Are you ready to hand feed a litter of puppies ever couple hours? Most litters don't have 100% survival rate, so are you ready to handle the deaths of some of your pups?

Breeding dogs is a great experience, but it's a TON of work and A LOT of money. Why don't you find a breeder/dog show group in your area and instead offer to help them with their breeding program to learn about it instead? If your dog is of breeding quality, they'll help you out and may even have a sire.

First off I would have to say..... unless you are a registered breeder, Do you really want to add to the un needed population of pets??? There are so many animals in shelters across the states waiting to be adopted. For every dog bred, your puppies take away from a dog sitting in a cold cage waiting for a family to adopt them. There are millions of animals put to sleep every year due to not being enough homes. So think about your decision. Are you doing this because it would be cute to have a litter of pups? Are you doing it to make a little money? If your not doing it to better the breed, which if your asking our advise as to where to find a mate for your dog, I would suggest having your dog fixed. Please do not add to the problem of so many unwanted animals.

Proven fact~~~ Say our dog has 8 puppies, did you know that by the time they reach adult hood, at least 4 of those will end up in a shelter with the risk of being put down.

Please rethink about breeding your dog.

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 5

If you are actively showing your dog you will meet people at shows. Before thinking about breeding you need to research pedigrees and chose mates that will bring out the best in the puppies they produce,you will need to have both dogs health tested (not just simple vet exams), you will need to have your dog evaluated (if you aren't showing) to make sure your dog conforms to the breed standard. There is a lot involved in responsible breeding..it isn't as simple as mating two dogs and producing puppies.

Answer 6

I think I would put an ad in a lonely hearts club magazine. But for any applicants, you should have a guarantee that the mate would be compatible.
