Answer 1

1-no impossable
2-ranging 1,000-10,000 dollars
3-humans and dogs are different if u try to unfix ur dog there is a 95% chance it will die humans not so likely dont ask me y its that way

Answer 2

1. Unless you simply had his tubes stapled, he is physically incapable of reproducing. If his testicles were removed, as is the case in almost all 'fixing', the dog no longer can have pups, period, the end. No amount of money can unfix him.

2. A pure-bred Golden female can range from $500 - $1500, depending on the quality of the girl.

3. Human males don't have their testicles removed. Dogs do.

Instead of breeding, why don't you consider working with Golden Retriever Rescue as a foster home? Taking in needy dogs for a time, until the organization can find permanent homes. Much like having pups, they are only there for a few months and you will be providing a MUCH needed service. One of the hardest things in Rescue is finding good foster homes to take dogs in on a temporary basis.

Answer 3

Please go find a book on anatomy at your library.

Neutering is NOT a vasectomy. Neutering is the removal of the testes.

You did try to check and see if he has the male gonads didn't you???

What you want is not going to happen. Can NOT be done.. The testicles can NOT be put back on.

Launching into breediing without even a knowledge of reproduction and anatomy seems a bit odd.

First, (aside from needing to understand how the process works), you need dogs that superior examples of their breed. Just being "purebred" or having their AKC registraton DOES NOT MAKE them an automatic candidat for breeding. Just being registered is NOT enough. That only means that you can trace their family - not that they are good enough to breed,

(2) The dogs of a breed who qualify to be breed msut prove that they are superior - this means showing them and finishing them to their AKC championship.

(3) In addition to getting their championship,they have to pass all the health screening tests for hereditary problems.

GOLDENS AS A BREED ARE LOADED WITH THEM

Hip Dysplasia - over 40%
Elbow Dysplaisia - over23%
Patella - over 15% (kneecaps that popout of place)
Thyroid disease - over 16%
Extreme allergies

Cancer - among all breeds they are in the top 2 for getting cancer.

A dog can look like he moves okay but STILL have dysplasia and the symptoms show up as he ages - we are talking severe crippling pain. Thyroid disease happens in middle age.

If you breed dogs who don't past their health exams, you are condemning the puppies to being ill and possibly cripples.

These tests involve xrays, blood tests and many proceedures. They are expensive- figure $500 -750 for each dog.

The health problems in this breed are so severe from so many being bred to meet popular demand, that after 38 years in the breed, I gave up on them.

(4) You have to know the bloodlines - maybe that dog passed all the tests but every one of his brothers and sisters had dysplasia. That means he is carrying the gene for it too and can pass it on. DO NOT BREED HIM

(5) If you want a puppy that you know will grow up healthy and free of all these problems, you have to get it from a responsible, reliable breeder who who competed heir dogs to their titles and done all the tests. The downside is such a breeder will not sell you a puppy to breed to whoever jsut because you want to. The contract will require that any puppy sold as a pet be spayed or neutered OR the breeder will tke it back. If it is sold as a shw prospect, the contract will require that the breeder co-own the dog and it MUST be shown and finished and can NOT be breed without their agreement - do it and you lose the dog.

A well bred pet puppy from parents with all the health exams and with a guarantee against hereditary health defects will run $600-800. A show prospect will be $1000 -2000.

I had many Goldens I adored but I did not breed them becuase they were not suprior examples of their breed - maybe it was a phsyical thing about their build; a propensity to expensive allergies; or a aproblem with temperment (and yes, Goldens now have the dubious honor of being the No. 1 breed for biting the vet being wimps about pain.)

Be responsible. Learn about a breed, Go to shows, Find out what makes a dog a porr example, or okay, good , excellent or superior.. Study the bloodlines, And always remeber your first pet in that breed who got you interested.

Answer 4

You really need a lot of information. I do not believe that a neuter can be reversed, simply because male dogs testicles are removed. Human males simply have their tubes cut. Big difference in the two procedures.

Go to the site below. It has tons of info on breeding and even has some questionairres for people interested in breeding.

Best to you.

Answer 5

It is only possible to get a dog únfixed' if they saved his sperm and frozen it; which they didn't if you didn't tell them too, then you can impregate a female that way. If you ever had any thoughts of breeding him you should have thought about it before fixing him, and if it was nessicary to fix him to have saved his sperm to be able to impregnate a dog.

Surgery to impregnate a female with frozen sperm would have been very costly even so. And it depends on where youb are getting the retriever from, many people sell at different prices.

Answer 6

Please read up on what it takes to be an ethical breeder. If your male is fixed, do not get him 'unfixed', if this is even possible.

As far as purchasing a breeder, you will not be able to buy from a reputable breeder for this purpose. And, you don't want to buy from a non-reputable breeder. You don't create life simply because you can. You breed two champion show dogs to each other - dogs that have been proven to meet and exceed the breed standard and will help balance out any of other's weaknesses. You don't breed simply because you want puppies, you need money, or you want to experience 'life'. If you don't even know that they are just puppies, not 'baby puppies, I doubt that you are under the tutelage of a reputable, ethical breeder. In this case, you should not be breeding ANY dog. Please read the AKC standards as to what makes a reputable breeder, along with the Golden Retriever standards and code of ethics. If you don't meet their guidelines, then DO NOT BREED. So many of these dogs are poorly bred and are dumped, an inexperienced breeder should not be breeding them for fun.

This is directly from the Golden Retriever Club of America:

The breeder should:
1. Belong to the Golden Retriever Club of America, a local Golden Retriever club, or an all-breed club. Ideally he/she should belong to all three; however, sometimes this is impossible. The reason for this requirement is that this sort of participation indicates depth of involvement. This breeder is exposed to other points of view, learns more about the breed and modern breeding practices, and is kept up to date on AKC rules and regulations.
2. Be involved in showing his/her dogs in the breed ring, the obedience ring, in hunting tests/field trials, agility, tracking, or in a combination of any of these. The reason for this requirement is that it means that the breeder is not working in a vacuum. The breeder who does not participate has no idea how good his/her dogs really are, and is deprived of the opportunity to share information and ideas with others. Showing provides the competition which encourages breeders to produce better dogs. The breeder who competes wants to prove how good his/her dogs are and is putting his/her breeding program on the line. This breeder is not relying on just a pedigree to indicate quality. Even if you do not want a competition animal, you deserve a companion that is the end result of a carefully planned litter; a puppy which received the same care as a potential champion. The breeder who competes in organized activities is known by others and has a reputation to uphold. This breeder will be as careful and honest in selling you your pet puppy as in selling show stock.
3. Be able to show you a clean environment; healthy, well-socialized puppies; and a dam with a good temperament. You should avoid: a) shy, whimpering, fearful puppies; b) puppies with dull coats, crusty or running eyes, signs of diarrhea, rashes or sores on their abdomens; c) signs of neglect, such as lack of water, pans of uneaten food, and dirty conditions; d) a breeder who will sell a puppy under seven weeks of age, as early separation from the dam and littermates can be very detrimental both psychologically and physically.
4. Give you a period of time in which to allow you to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian to determine its state of health, so that both of you are assured as to the condition of the puppy at the time of sale. If a problem should arise, it can then be quickly resolved.
5. Provide you with a record of the dates and types of vaccinations and de-worming done, feeding instructions, a 3-to 5-generation pedigree, and an AKC registration application to apply for registration of the puppy in your own name with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Sometimes the registration application is not available at the time you take your puppy home. If this is the case, have the breeder state on a dated, signed receipt of payment that the application will be sent to you as soon as possible. The registered names and AKC numbers of both parents, date of birth of the litter, and puppy's color and sex should be indicated. You can then contact AKC with complete information should there later be a problem with the papers.
6. Give you written instructions on feeding, training and care. This booklet was designed in part for that purpose. There are other materials that are useful; some are listed in Appendix B.
7. Be able to show you proof that both the sire and dam of the litter have had their hips X-rayed, and evaluated as normal by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and/or PennHIP; have had their elbows X-rayed and evaluated as normal by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) or a board-certified veterinary radiologist: have had their hearts examined by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist; and have had their eyes examined by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist within the last 12-18 months. The breeder should also be willing to answer your questions about any other possible hereditary problems, including but not limited to seizures, hypothyroidism, and skin problems or allergies.
8. Ask you what kind of dogs you have had in the past, and what happened to them; whether or not you have a fenced yard; and whether or not the dog will be allowed to be a house dog and a member of the family. Sincere breeders will be a bit hesitant to sell you a puppy until they know more about you, what you are looking for in a dog, and what lifestyle you have in mind for your dog. Having the best interest of the puppy at heart, reputable breeders will take great pains to place puppies properly the first time around. A returned puppy is a traumatic experience for all concerned, so the breeder who is always willing to accept a puppy back will try to make certain that a Golden is the breed for you.
9. Be able to give you references: the names of people who have purchased puppies in the past, the names of other breeders, and the veterinarian who provides care for the breeder's dogs.
10. Provide some sort of written contract and/or conditions of sale. Any warranty of quality or health of the dog, and any warranty against development of hereditary problems or show-ring disqualifications in an animal intended for showing or breeding, should be in writing. The warranty should be absolutely explicit and a signed copy should be provided to each party.
Both pedigree and registration papers are provided by reputable breeders at NO extra charge. The practice of charging extra for papers is forbidden by the AKC, and should be reported. This should not be confused with withholding papers until the dog has been spayed or neutered, which is how puppies not purchased for showing/breeding are sold by many reputable breeders.
11. Make it clear that his/her responsibility continues long after you have taken your puppy home, in fact as long as the dog is alive. Many dedicated breeders will ask that the dog be returned to them, or placed with new owners who meet their approval, if ever for any reason you are unable to keep the dog. They'll cheerfully be available for advice whenever needed, and can ease your way over many rough spots.
***If your breeder meets all of these requirements you are in good hands. If you find yourself with a negative response to any of these requirements, think twice and discuss the situation with someone else. DON'T be impulsive and DO ask questions. ***


Edit: This has nothing to do with being rude. The Goldren Retriever club of America and the AKC say that you are not a reputable breeder if you don't follow those guidelines. If you do follow them, good for you. If you don't, then you shouldn't be breeding. It's not rude, it's reality. Go visit petfinder.com and see how many goldies are up for rescue. How many do you think don't make it onto that site and are killed in shelters? sigh. Why can't people see past their own arrogance and realize that backyard breeders are bad? That just because they own an AKC dog or a purebred dog, that doesn't mean she needs to be bred!?!

Answer 7

he will never be able to breed. it is not reversible. they remove the testicles. it isn't a vasectomy! please don't purchase another dog. you don't deserve to have a pet tarantula!
