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 2

Only your vet can tell you that. I also reccommend that both of your dogs be spayed/neutered. When breeding dogs RESPONSIBLY there are many considerations the first of which is to only breed quality papered dogs of the same breed! There are enough new dogs from other backyard breeders and puppy mills to add yours to the list. Out of the 25 milliion dogs brought into life this year 12 million of those are deemed 'surplus' and immediately euthanized. Yes you may find homes for all of the puppies your female has but, for every puppy you bring into this world another in a shelter has lost its chance at a home, and is killed. I know this is not what you want to hear, but be a responsible owner and only breed responsibly....for good information go to http://www.akc.org/. This website not only gives you contact information on responsible breeding but will also give you information on breeders in your area. Many reputable breeders are more than happy to help someone out IF they are willing to do a breeding program the right way. DO NOT BECOME LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON THAT THINKS EVERY DOG SHOULD BE BRED. You risk the health and happiness of so many others!

Why on earth have you ever waited this long. you have got taken her to the vet early on interior the being pregnant and had her spayed. The gestation era is sixty 3 days, early could be fifty 8 days so she is due any day now. surprisingly you look to appreciate which day your canines mated! i think of you would be up for some hefty expenses. I heavily doubt your min pin could have the potential to beginning super doggies. The sire is a huge canines. i might say you had extra helpful save some funds because of the fact she will probable want a caesarean section. the 1st domestic dog will probable get caught interior the beginning canal. touch your vet and have his telephone quantity on speed dial or take the min pin in and enable the vet safeguard the whelping of the doggies.
