Answer 1

My advice, don't cross breed. Why do you want to breed these two dogs when thousands of dogs die each year lack of homes. (Up to 25% of dogs in shelters are purebred, why create more cross breeds??)

If you don't understand HOW to get a dog to breed, you have a lot to learn.

Traits of a responsible breeder
1. A breeder who believes that no matter how great the pedigree, or how wonderful the parents, the environment during the females pregnancy and 7 weeks after birth has a lasting unalterable effect on how a puppy behaves.

2. A breeder that bottle feeds the pups even when the litter is small and mother has lots of milk. This bonds the puppy to human scent and associates them with human handling, cuddling, nursing and most importantly, security.

3. A breeder that does toe-nail clipping while the puppies nurse, to associate nail-clipping with a pleasant experience.

4. A breeder that starts housebreaking at three (3) weeks of age. What a breeder does from here on and for the next two weeks teaches a puppy to be clean in the house.

5. A breeder who, between 3 to 5 weeks, exposes the puppy to the noises of pots and pans dropping, vacuum cleaners, washer/dryers, televisions etc. This helps alleviate the fears of dogs that are easily spooked.

6. A breeder that constantly picks up, rocks, holds and tries to carry the puppy everywhere.

7. A breeder that starts "bye-bye" at 5 weeks. A breeder that slowly acclimates the puppy to car, van and/or trailering. During this time, they also include loving experiences with children, other dogs, sleeping and eating in strange surroundings, etc. This is a super-step toward prevention of motion sickness.

8. A breeder who, at five weeks, teaches puppies to be separated from mom and littler-mates and be self-confident enough in familiar surroundings not to cry when alone. This practice is repeated through the 7th or 8th week. New puppy owners then find the first night home, puppy doesn't cry and is not unhappy, as being alone has never been an unhappy experience.

9. A breeder that starts leash training by the 5th or 6th week. Who's pups already have a following instinct, because from early on they started by calling "Puppy Come" in a loud and happy voice every time they are fed. Calling your puppy to come and have it come, is difficult for many new owners but not from breeders who exercise the above philosophy.

10. A breeder, that by 7 weeks can hide in the yard or be way out of sight and when they yell "puppy come", all puppies come running.

11. A breeder that at 7 weeks, starts bathing, blow drying, continue toe-nail clipping, working on a table (playing Veterinarian and Judge). Puppies, such as these, are not normally afraid of your Veterinarian or a Judge.

12. A breeder that does intelligent testing, retrieving testing, testing puppies through obstacle courses, and identifies Alpha, Beta and Omega types.

13. A breeder that guarantees their litter, which means your deposit or purchase is returned if the puppy is defective, chronically ill, or does not meet normal standards.

14. A breeder that chronicles every litter with photographs, videos or both [from birth to leaving for your home]....so you have a history of your pup.

15. A breeder that provides a puppy packet. A great breeder will establish a puppy packet so complete that if you never read anything else, you will still have what you need to know to raise a healthy, well trained puppy.

16. A breeder that will also provide photographs or video, [or both] of your pup's parents.

17. A breeder, who above all, wants to keep in touch and hear all about the progress of your pup over the ensuing years.


Are you up for ALL of that? With a pure bred dog? If not, don't breed.

Answer 2

There are lots of products around which can help your problem, most good pet stores will sell a shampoo formula that will assist in the shedding problem and by using this it will be cheaper than sending your dog to the groomers. Once the dog is out the bath go through the coat with brushes especially for shedding you'll find these at your pet store too.. there are shedding rakes and combs especially for shedding. With regards to the weight problem it may be due to the food you are feeding her? it is amazing what changing a dogs diet can do for their coat and their health in general, changing the dogs food may assist in the shedding problem too.. id go to your pet store and discuss this with them but foods from pets at home such as wainwrights and james well beloved are great for keeping dogs in tip top condition. Good luck trying all the suggestions i hope the shedding calms down soon = )

Answer 3

First off stop trying so hard. If you want her to mate she must go where he lives(unless he lives with you). That way she maybe more inteerested and if she doesn't like him maybe try someone else. But you have to know when she is ready or she won't flagg for the dog. But you really shouldn't breed there are too many unwanted animals now.

Answer 4

A lot of females are not interested in being bred....consider it a dogs version of "Ive got a headache" LOL. My ex used to breed dogs, and it was really hard to get some of the females to "ok" what was going on. I think they know what comes next...as cute as we think they are...to them its like 10 kids....Good luck, you may need someone to help you hold the dogs so they dont fight during the process as well. Good luck! Poodlerainians....lol...(cant spell.)

Answer 5

I think it's up to you if you want to breed you dogs.
The female has to be in heat before she'd mate with any male.
Also I think it's a good idea to mix breeds because it decreases the chance of the pure breed's common health issues.

Answer 6

she will like males when she is ready.. she is just likely smarter about her own maturity than her owner..Poodles are very smart!
I used to breed poodles..
she should not be bred until after she is 2 years old..

Answer 7

there are 21 days in a heat cycle. 1st 7 she will be in heat, have the scent, but she wont take (mate) the 2nd 7 days she will be willing to let him mate with her. you need to mate them at least 2-3 times to make sure shes pregnant. the last 7 days she will still have the scent but wont let him breed anymore!!! hope this helps!! good luck!!!

Answer 8

First off, unless these are AKC bred and you are a reputable dealer, all you are doing is contributing to the overpopulation of pets in our country. But you didnt ask that.

The Poodle needs to be in heat. Then it wont matter if she normlaly likes male dogs.

Answer 9

A female will not accept the male unless the time is right.

Answer 10

She isn't ready to breed. Give it time and consult your vet as to the best time to breed the dog is.
