Can a male dog hurt a female dogs hips, while mating?

Question

I have a male dog that weighs around 160 pounds, and we have a female dog that is 16 months old. If we allow them to mate is there a good posibillity that the male dog would hurt, injury the female dog's hips. Any information about hip injury with mating would be helpful. Thank you for looking at my question. :)

Answer 1

Vets in my area charge about $80-90 to artificially inseminate the female..You take both of them in, while she is in heat..and there are no risks of injury this way..English bulldog breeders do this for most breedings..as do many mastiff breeders..

Answer 2

Are these dogs the same breed? If so, the female is much too young to be bred at 16 months!!! Never mind the male hurting her, you are seriously risking permanent skeletal damage to the female if she has a litter at this young age - her body is not fully developed yet!

As with any breed, during mating, you should be there to help turn the male (if he can't do it himself) to prevent injury to the female, as well as to prevent her from pulling away and injuring him. You should know all of this long before you contemplate any breeding!!!

Answer 3

If the female has bad hips yes it is possible to cause further injuries to the hips. Before breeding any dog you should do Penn hip or OFA both the dog and the ***** prior to breeding, plus more health testing but that's another topic ;)
