I would like my dog to have babbies. What is the best way to time her encounter with a male?

Question

Are there physical signs that I should look for? Or count the days since her last period? Or something completely different?

Answer 1

I am assuming that you have the hips & elbows OFA'd and have put some amazing titles on your dog and she is in perfect breed conformation and has a pedigree to die for???

Of course, or you would not be considering breeding her.. correct???

Please don't have *babbies* until you can accomplish all of the above.

SEW SORRY NO ANSWER FOR YOU TODAY HON.

Answer 2

Wow, I cant believe how many rude people are on here.

I will answer you question as best I can. Your dog will not be able to get pregnant and have "babies" unless she is in heat. This is called an estrus cycle. The first few days to weeks your female will not be interested in any male dogs. Once she gets past this part she will become more interested in males and will allow them to mate with her. This is the time where she will be able to get pregnant.

However, You really should do your homework before getting involved with breeding your dog. There are lots of things to consider before you do it. Such as why you want your dog to have puppies. It will not necessarily calm her down if that is what you are hoping for. And you need to know IF there is a demand for your breed of puppies or will these pups end up in an animal shelter or as a stray. You will also want to consider the health of your female. Pregnancy is hard on a dog and there are always risks. You will also need to consider the ER visit and lack of sleep when something goes terribly wrong in the middle of the night when your dog is in labor and need emergency c-section and so on.
There is always the vet bills for after your dog has puppies to make sure that the mom and babies are doing fine and then the first shots and deworming that all responsible breeders give to the pups. Then do you have time to socialize them and will you be able to care of them?
You should find someone who knows about your breed of dog and ask them all of these questions and any others you have before you make the decision to have puppies. You really shouldnt have puppies if you dont know what your doing or dont care.

You know people always say there's no such thing as a stupid question...but, that was dumb...especially since you can't even spell what you are trying to do. Periods, just like people? Are you serious? Do you see a lot of dogs running around with strings hanging out of their crotches? This was a very irresponsible question. I love my dog and she's a gorgeous AKC registerable(but not doing it) Boxer that I got from someone for free, and she's never been bred, she's been fixed. Please don't breed your dog!! Go to the shelter, see the pitiful faces there and you'll see that the world doesn't need anymore cute little "babbies".

Answer 4

Unless your dog is an AKC registered dog of excellent breeding and greatly exemplifies the finest quality of it's breed (which you neglected to mention), and you have taken appropriate measures to learn how to responsibly, intelligently, and humanely breed dogs (which I sincerely doubt because then you'd know the answer to your own immaturely worded question), I would HIGHLY suggest you DO NOT ALLOW THE DOG TO BREED.

And unless you fit all of the above qualifications, you should be ashamed of yourself! This is part of the reason dogs are seriously over populated. Do you know how many dogs get put down each year because no one wants them and you want to create more! And what are you going to do with the puppies? What if she has 6 of them? Are you going to have 7 dogs? Or are you going to sell the puppies? What measures are you going to take to ensure these puppies go to a good home and are not left at humane societies to be euthanized?

Do you want to do with for you or for the benefit of the dog, because I assure you that your dog probably does not feel the same way you do.

Answer 5

Wait until she goes into heat and expose her to a male dog 7 to 10 days after the first signs of swelling. If she doesn't accept the male wait a day and try again.

Just a question - why do you want puppies when there are already too many unwanted dogs in shelters now? Why not get your dog spayed and then adopt a puppy from a shelter?

Answer 6

Right after she gets SPAYED.

Would you like your dog to die giving birth? Because some dogs do. And if you don't know what you're doing, a puppy can get stuck halfway out and die too. You don't just put two dogs together and make babies, breeding is a long, hard, difficult, DANGEROUS process. And if you had a dog that was worth breeding in the first place, you'd already be doing dog shows and meeting dog people and you wouldn't have to ask questions.

SPAY YOUR PET! STOP THIS RIDICULOUS BACKYARD BREEDING! ANIMALS ARE NOT BABY MAKING MACHINES!!

What is wrong with you people???

Answer 7

You should go to www.Petfinder.org and see how the pet population is out of control. Then maybe rethink your idea to have your dog contribute to the problem. If you think that your dog's pups won't end up in the shelter, consider this. Someone could get a dog (even a pure breed - my dog is a pure breed shih tzu and I rescued him from a shelter) from the local humane society instead of buying one of your pups.

I recommend that you get your young dog spayed.

Answer 8

Producing a litter of puppies is a big responsability - are you going to keep all the puppies? Is the mother physically healthy enough and a good representative of her breed? Is she registered and are you sure she has no genetic faults in her bloodline? Do you know how to whelp a litter? Speak to a breeder - get to know what is involved. Hundreds of "babies" are destroyed every year by shelters because there are not enough homes... do you want to add to that?

Answer 9

um...dogs have puppies, not babies. and if you need to come on yahoo answers to ask the most BASIC of breeding questions, you should not be doing it! you are going to end up with a dead dog. don't you know how risky pregnancy is for a dog? especially in the hands of someone who has NO clue what they are doing? don't be so selfish, get your dog fixed. if you want babies so bad, have your own.

Answer 10

Dogs in heat bleed from their vagina. 2nd day of bleeding
turn her loose with the male for a couple of hours. Repeat on day 3, just to be sure.
