Answer 1

My choc. Lab Woodie and my neighbors rotti Star had unexpected pups. THey had about 7 but then only 5 made it. THey were so cute. The people who had Star the mom kept her and the pups in the old horse barn on there property which is just mean. So they gave me permission to go up there whenever i wanted to and when i did there food and water dish were always empty so i started going up there like 5 times a day with a bag of water and i just started leaving 2 liter bottles full of water on a shelf in there hoping theyw ould get the point but i still had to do it everytime. But they were great, but they were little ankle biters! I couldn't walk without having to drag one along beside me. But it wasn't hard taking care of them basically the mother will take care of everything (in this case the puppies depended 100 percent of Star which is sad). I kept one of the pups and hes great (except very clumsy). But i definately reccomend havign pups. Good luck with u and sasha and the soon to be pups!

Answer 2

Yes it is hard work, I am a vet tech/ex-breeder. It is far easier owning the stud dog than the female! Try not to breed her on her first heat, they tend to be too immature to handle motherhood then, once she is bred, feed her puppy food during pregnancy and until she is done nursing them, also give her calcium suppliments, so the puppies don't suck the calcium from the mother. Some rotties are just not good mom's don't be alarmed if she hurts or eats them, it happens, just don't breed her again, get her spayed if she does that. Keep in mind all the puppy costs are on you and not the stud family. The pups tails and dew claws must be removed at 2-3 days old by the vet and that is paid for by you, as well as wormings every 2 weeks and at least 1 set preferably 2 sets of shots. Cost add up quickly with puppies, people think oh there just having a bunch of cute pups and there really isn't any work or cost cause the mom takes care of them, but that is not the case. Don't breed her too many times, and try to do it every other heat if you can, don't breed her into the ground! They need a break too, think about having 6-10 babies at once and getting pregnant again while your still nursing them. Also prepare for the possibiliy of C-section and have at least $600.00 saved for that in case she has complications. Once you are done breeding her spay her as quickly as possible, because the longer she has a uterus, the more likely she is to get pyometra, cancer of the uterus, breast cancer, or mastitis, oh yeah lots of dogs get mastitis which is painful and expensive to deal with as well. If you have to find a stud dog, the stud fee is yours to pay as well, unless you have a friend who donates their dogs services for free. Stud fee is usually the cost of a puppy, or they can have pick of the litter instead of a fee if they want. If I haven't completely scared you off of the idea of breeding her then good luck and enjoy the puppies they are lots of fun, but you need to have money and dedication to pull off a succesful breed that is healthy and fare to your dog and your finances.

Answer 3

My question is, can you live with the fact that the people who buy your pups may not be nice to the pup? I think the hardest part is letting the pups go, that's why we don't breed dogs. My husband doesn't want 20 german shepards running around.

Watch an animal planet pet rescue show sometime and you'll see what I mean. You will have to screen prospective owners, make sure they'll be good for your pup, make sure they know its going to be a big dog... Even then, you can't be 100% positive that they'll treat the dog right.

Also puppies are expensive, you have to give them their shots and everything until you sell them to someone. What are you going to do if you can't sell all of them? Can you afford to have a few extra dogs running around? And in that there is a whole different problem, more dogs for the pet shelter.

Also breeding considerations: someone was ranting about backyard breeders not to long ago on Answers, are you going to check to make sure the sire is a good dog? Good bloodlines? Can you register the pups? Will breeding her have a positive effect on the breed?

Answer 4

Don't do it!! Has Sacha had all the health tests necessary? By which I mean hip and elbow scored & eye tested by a specialist, not just a check over by a vet. Do you know the dogs behind her in her pedigree? How will you know if the dog you have chosen is a suitable mate & doesn't carry the same faults as her? Are you prepared to risk losing her if something goes wrong during the mating? Can you afford to pay for a Caesarian section for her? Are you prepared to stay up night with her & the puppies? Have you any idea how much mess a litter of Rottweilers can make, how much noise they make (have you neighbours?) how much damage they can do, how much food they eat?
Finally - do you know that Rottweiler Rescue is bursting at the seems with unwanted Rotties? Please don't add to their problems.

Answer 5

make sure that the ***** is at least 18 months to 2 years before she has her first litter yes it is a lot of work to care for them as they should be cared for you will have so much extra washing to do given them a clean bed every day or some times twice a day but the first 2 weeks is the worse i sleep down stairs on a camp bed with the ***** and her pups to make sure all is ok but its all worth it in the end once the first two weeks is over its not so bad you see the pups change each and every day once they have there eyes open you have to think that if the ***** has a large litter then you will have to help her feed them because if you don't she could end up with eclampcia due to the pups draining all the calcium from her body and can make the ***** relay ill so you have to get puppy milk and feed some of the pups with a syringe every few hours but its all worth it in the end two of my litter have gone today and its upsetting when they leave my bichon had seven pups and they are ten weeks old on sat and i have put them up to be sold this week i take great care about who has my pups it is a lot of work but if that is what you want to do good luck to you go to the libary and get the book that is called (book on the *****) and read it is very good will tell you all you need to know about the ***** the pups and after care and the birth of the pups and what to do it is a very good book

Answer 6

Why do you want Sasha to have puppies?
Will you be able to afford veterinary bills if she has complications and needs a vet?
A C-section will cost you between $500 and $1200.
Do you understand that by breeding her you are putting her at risk to venereal diseases? This happened to my aunt's dog, when my aunt tried to breed her. The dog almost died from infection.

Are you sure you want to do this?
If you are, at least make sure you have found homes for the puppies BEFORE you try to breed Sasha. There are already way too many homeless animals.

Answer 7

If you have to ask how hard it is to raise a litter of pups on Yahoo answers then you need to research a bit more in depth before you even think of breeding dogs. It's a ton of work and very expensinve and you're taking a chance of losing your dog. Please ake your dog to a real breeder and have them evaluate her before you consider breeding her.

As for the potential stud being checked by the vet, a vet declaring a dog healthy does not mean that the dog is a good candidate for breeding. A parrot mouthed dog with a squishy topline and bad pasterns can be a healthy and wonderful pet but he should never be used for breeding. There is much much more you need to know about, like OFA status, inheritable conditions, breed standards, etc, before you begin to breed dogs.

Answer 8

Rottweilers are especially difficult to raise.
First of all, mom Rottweilers are VERY often terrible moms, and too often eat or bury their young..I used to have a business raising orphaned puppies, and many of those were Rott pups that the mom had rejected..
Secondly, Rottweilers have a very slow developing immune system, and are more prone to getting Parvo than any other breed except Dobermans...even with regular vaccination schedule..
Third..A Rottweiler should never be bred, whether male or female that hasn't been ex-rayed and certified free of hip dysplasia..as it is THE most likely breed to develop this malady...this procedure
is expensive.

Answer 9

breeding and raising healthy well socialized puppies is NOT!!! easy or cheap. most good breeders will tell you they put more money into the dogs/puppies then they make.. and im telling you this as i have been breeding shar-pei for many years now and it is not fun or easy. your supose to bred to better the gentetic lines for health ,comfirmation ect. not too make money! or have fun...lol there is alot of work involved! There could be complications with the delivery , there could be complications with puppies (ex. water puppy,under developed lungs ect ect) things that you would not belive can happen , puppies might not nurse properly, mother that rejects the puppiesand this is just when there newborn. then there is the pee and poo and feeding and cleaning and bathing and vet bills and other health issues, ex: one of my pups got a scratch from a litter mate and came down with a serious blood infection she survived but we were $ down 1000.00 after a stay at the vets and meds and work work work.. to bring her back to health ... just a tiny little scratch that happens with litters of puppies while they play.. just think really hard before gettiing into breeding it takes a real dedicated knolegeable person with alot of time and compassion.and lets not forget lots of MONEY!!

Answer 10

Its extermly hard work... Cause you asked and I have the time I will tlel you some of the hard work/ money you gotta do.

#1. You need to bring you pet to the vet and have it checked for alot of things. which can cost up to 80$ +

#2. Youhave to find a place where to pay a minum of 300$ for the stud fee, and thats really cheap, it would be hard to find that price for a stud.
(after you get a stud, your gonna have to set up a place/date (date: meaning when your female is in heat and over 2 years old)where to breed.

#4.
After breeded and pregant your gonnah ve to feed your dog alomost twice as much food wish cost wil lcost twice+ amount of the price you pay for food, which can be 25$ a bag? so about 50$ + how ever many times your dog eats.

#5 preparing for the birt of possibly 10 pups.

#6 there may be possibly complication that can lead to puppys dying.. and very sick.
Tons of blankets, might have to call yor vet if your dog dosnet take care of the pups or if your dogs are having a hard time labour.

#7 taking care of the pups is very hard workk, if one of the pups inst getting inough milk your will have to feed it by hand about ever hour. (which can be a pain in the neck)
Cleaning up dog poop ever day, taking them out and playing with them.

#8 finding homes for them, and getting them there papers.

This is only some of the stuff you gotta do, please dont take breeding pups lightly.
