do u think mating my dog is a good thing to do?

Answer 1

Need more info really. Is it a full blooded dog, does it have al the best traits of the breed? Does it do well in the show ring? How old is it? Have you ever had experience breeding a dog? Has she had a vet certificate of health for breeding? Will you be able to afford the expense if she should have complications and has to have a C-Section? are you able to deal with all of that? Are you ready to make sure that if the mom refuses the pups to bottle feed them every 2 hours all day and night with puppy formula? These are questions you need to answer before considering this and then make your own answer.

Answer 2

Depends

Are you the owner of the stud or the female?

If you're the owner of the female, have you done your research? Do you know all about canine pregnancy, what to expect and what to do with the pups? Are you going to find the puppies good homes - and do you know when to do this? Do you know about weaning, de-fleaing and worming and about puppy vaccinations?

If you answer 'no' to any of those questions, I would suggest you don't breed your dog.

Many people are against the breeding of pet dogs, as you can see. It's true that there are is a ridiculous over population of unwanted cats and dogs that no responsible owners should contribute to. Also bear in mind dogs only really reproduce out of instinct - I seriously believe if they are neutered, they do not miss it. And they certainly live longer and healthier lives.

I think the further reproduction of cats and dogs should be left to responsible breeders who know what they're doing, treat the animals correctly and do not do it for the money.

If you've got the money, the knowledge and the time maybe you are ready to enter the world of responsible breeding - but have a serious think first!

Answer 3

No I do not think mating your dog is a good thing to do. There are over 7 million unwanted dogs in the United States many will be put to death. You might mate your dog with good intenstions but whats to say the new owners wont give the dog up or it will have unwanted pups.

Answer 4

NO !!! Absolutely not, unless you are prepared to find homes for every single one of the pups before they are born. There are an estimated 10 million unwanted dogs that DIE in shelters each year, and no one knows how many more roam the streets in our biggest cities. These animals are feral, born wild, and even if they manage to live to adulthood, they face a terrible future. You are not depriving your pet of ANYTHING by not letting the animal have sex. Get your pet spayed if it is female, and neutered if it's a male. You will be doing yourself and other animals in your neighborhood a huge favor. Male dogs which aren't neutered are more likely to roam and get out, because they are trying to find a female to mate with. A female dog in season is a nuisance because of her smell, which will attract every male in the area- and the scent carries for MILES. Females who aren't spayed and who are not bred carry a much greater risk for reproductive cancers in later life- they can get cancer of the uterus, ovaries, and cervix, just like people can. If you can't support your female through her pregnancy and find homes for the pups, you shouldn't breed her. I have owned dogs of all kinds of breeds all of my life, and they are much happier and better off if they have been neutered or spayed. They live longer and are healthier. Think some more and do some research before you make your decision.

Answer 5

No!!!!
Please, don't even think about it - have your dog spayed or neutered.

Quick fact if you are an animal lover.....

For each one of us on the planet there are:
9 Dogs and
22 Cats

Could you take care of that many - for each person in your house? No, so they end up running wild, being abused or euthanized because there just aren't enough people to own them. And their only sin was to be born. Well, it wasn't their sin...it was the person who allowed them to breed so please don't add to the pet population no matter how cute you think your dog is.
Thank you.

Answer 6

So many different points of view with no information about the dog from you.
I`ll put it this way ....If you are capable of taking care of the pups, and afterwards be able to find them good reliable homes where they won`t end up in a shelter, I would say do what your heart tells you to do.
But again you have not given us much information to work with.

Answer 7

mating dogs often leads to lower life expectancy. unless you have the male. there is usually good money in it though. you just need to way your pros and cons

Answer 8

If you havent breed before and havent researched it, and spoken with your vet, then NO, there is soooo much involved, and your dog if a female may not make it through a birth if she has to under go a C-section.....research her breed and chat to your vet.

Answer 9

i really don't think so. it makes me so sad to think that people pay so much money for a dog when you can just get one that needs love and care, and will have less health problems, at the humane society or the pound. dogs are not something that are just for enjoyment. they are animals that feel lonliness and pain. please don't!!

Answer 10

only if you can answer yes to all of these questions is it pure bread do you want to take care of 2-9 puppys if the mother wont are you adding to the breed if you do breed it ( such as color trates meeting standerds)
I realy think not becouse you should ask a vet not youre computer.
