dog breeding?

Question

what do u have to do to breed a dog? any specific preperations?

shes a 1 yr old chihuahua im not planning to breed this second but in the future

Answer 1

Good gods.

Well. First thing's first-If you don't know the backround of these dogs, don't breed. You don't want genetic defects in the pups, right? Right.

Both dogs need to be purebreds with no common relatives in their near-pasts. If you've got an AKC dog, you can purchase their pedigrees from them for a minor amount. Go back 4 generations and be SURE.

Get your OFA certifications-Hips, eyes, elbows, thyroid, heart, etc. You want healthy, GOOD puppies. You don't wanna be a backyard breeder.

Take your doggies out and show them to the world. Seriously. Get them to a CH level before you breed.

Be ready for severe financial strain if something happens to your girl during labor or pregnancy. I'm learning great dane breeding-if a girl of mine had to be knocked out for a c-section? It'd cost me nearly $4000. Maybe more, depending on the severity.

Find homes for the puppies BEFORE you breed. Have them put 1/4-1/8th of the total payment down, too. Make sure you've got homes!

If you've got mixed breeds? Neuter. If you aren't willing to put that much time and effort into your dogs? Neuter. If you don't have that kind of cash? Delay the breeding or neuter.

There is a LOT to do with breeding and it changes for -every- breed. Research your breed thoroughly, take your time and you'll be a respectable decent breeder.

But please don't make any backyard pups. It's the last thing we need. They may be adorable, but they could be riddled with health issues or given a shot o' death if you can't afford to take care of them anymore and you have to take them to a shelter.

And if you do go the respectable breeder way? ALWAYS. ALWAYS. -ALWAYS-. have a contract that states the dog will be brought back to you if such a time comes that the new owners can NOT afford or for other reasons keep the animal. Good luck. =)

In my revel in, the puppy breeds which might be the least more likely to broaden human aggression disorders are the Pug, Beagle, English Bulldog, and Boston Terrier. I have not relatively obvious an instance of any of the ones breeds that I could say had a significant aggression limitation, even though I have met various anxious Beagles. Well-bred Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, and Greyhounds could be proper up there as good. On the opposite hand are the breeds which might be surely to be competitive. I have on no account had a excellent revel in with a Yorkie. In truth, of the 50 or so Yorkies that I have encountered, I could say all 50 had a few type of aggression limitation. Chow Chows, Akitas, and Chihuahuas are proper up there as good. But, I could say that probably the most competitive puppy breeds are the more than a few breeds of Terrier from Scotland, the Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and Skye Terrier. Scotties and Westies in targeted are very bitey puppies.

Answer 3

research the pedigree of both parents for quality and genetic issues

Test both parents eyes, hips, thyroid and heart for health

test both parents temperament

test both parents quality by showing them or competing with them against others of their breed in an impartial setting

Test both parents for infections like brucellosis or other infections that could damage them or the puppies

Have homes waiting before the breeding

Have a vet lined up with flexible hours to take care of any complications during breeding or birth (some breeding have gone badly enough to kill one of the breeders)

Have a clean safe area set up for the female to whelp in and a whelping box set up for them too

Have money, preferably over 1000 dollars put aside to address any vet issues since an emergency C-section and follow up can run more than 2,000 alone and dew claws, and well puppy check immediately after birth runs 200 and shots run about the same for an adverage litter. Altering pet puppies before placement will also run at least 50 each.

If all of these criteria are not met, do not breed

Answer 4

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE DECIDING TO BREED YOUR DOG:

Have they completed their AKC championships in the ring, thereby proving their quality as breeding stock?

Have you studied their pedigrees to determine possible genetic defects going back decades?

Have you evaluated male and female against the written breed standard to determine why their particular offspring would make a viable contribution to the breed?

Have you done the requisite health tests?

Are you willing to have their eyes patellas and hips certified?

Do you understand the risk to the female in breeding her?

Are you willing to pay for a Caesaran, (quite common in chihuahuas, about $1,000.00 + postnatal care)

Are you willing to supplement and tube feed puppies for 24 hours a day?

Are you willing to spend 12 weeks hand raising puppies in your home?

Are you willing to go to the expense of 12 weeks of shots and wormings for however many puppies you bring into the world?

Are you willing to interview dozens of potential pet buyers to determine exactly which ones will be the absolute Best homes for your puppies?

Will you have a spay/neuter clause in your pet buyer contract requiring proof of spaying/neutering before each pup is 6 months old?

Will you GUARANTEE that for if ANY reason during the life of the puppies you've bred, their owners can no longer keep them, they must be returned to you?

Guide to breeding your dog
Tips and advice in this guide for breeding purebred dogs as well as chances of profit and misfortune.


The first thing to consider when breeding your dog is to ask yourself why you are doing so. These are some of the common reasons heard in a veterinary clinic:


It is a purebred and I want to make some money - Don’t hold your breath on this one. So often the cost far our weighs the profit in dog breeding. A typical week at an emergency veterinary clinic will involve at least one C-section. These are not strictly for small breeds.



Another draw back to the moneymaking scheme is stud fees. A good quality, AKC registered sire can draw fees of $300 and up. This may not sound like a great deal of money when you are counting on ten or twelve puppies from a large dog. Consider for a moment if your dog only has one puppy or gives birth to twelve still-born puppies.


I want my children to learn the facts of life – Most dogs give birth during the calm periods in a house. This means middle of the night and nine times out of ten, owners never see the actual birth. Think past the cute stage of having newborn puppies, and on to where you are going to place them once they are weaned. Also think of how a child is going to react to losing a puppy they have learned to love. Children are much better off learning the facts of life from a parent or a book than watching a dog.


It is a purebred – There are millions of purebred dogs in the world. Thousands of them end up being put to death at animal shelters across the nation every week. Every purebred dog should not be bred. Breeding should occur between the best quality animals for the betterment of the breed.


If breeding is still a desire, there are simple things to remember. A female is referred to as a ***** and a male is a dog or a sire.


A typical female dog comes into heat once every six months. It is highly discouraged to breed a dog during its first heat cycle. This is because the dog has not completely matured itself. Breeding too early can cause developmental problems in the *****. Growth is stopped, needed calcium and nutrients is transferred to the puppies.


The actual heat cycle itself can be a frustrating thing for owners. It starts out with the female having a clear type of discharge. Then the vulva starts to swell and bleeding commences. Optimal breeding time is ten to fourteen days after the first sign of color (blood) although male dogs won’t care what day in the cycle it is. Make sure the dogs are kept separate during this time. Many injuries to dogs are seen because the male wouldn’t take no for an answer.


A female will show a willingness to be bred by “flagging” for an owner. This means she will raise her tail and move it to the side when the area right above her tail is scratched.


Once she has shown a willingness to be bred, it is time to place the two dogs together. When this is done, do not just throw them in the back yard together. It is preferable for someone to hold the head of the female while the actual breeding is taking place. Many males have been permanently scarred, by a female who took a sudden change of heart.


The actual act of breeding can take anywhere from ten to forty-five minutes. This is because a male dog’s physiology is not the same as that of a man. Dogs do not ejaculate; they seep through an engorged penis. The female’s vagina causes a tight ring around the penis and any attempt to stop the breeding at this point can damage both animals.


Once the male has entered, he will slowly move so that both front paws are on the same side of the female. One hind leg will come up and over the back of the female and they will be standing tail to tail. This is considered the tie.


Eventually, the penis will shrink back to its normal size, the tie is broken and both dogs will walk away. When this occurs, once again separate the two dogs. For optimal breeding results, repeat the process every other day until the female will no longer accept the male.


Write the first and last dates of breeding on a calendar. Normal gestation time for dogs is sixty-three days. This can be from either breeding. If a dog goes over sixty-five days, have her checked by your veterinarian.


There is one important thing to remember when breeding dogs. Keep the female up! A single female can be bred by a dozen males, have a dozen puppies with each having a different father. The best thing to do is keep the female crated, letting out only to walk on a leash or supervised in a fenced yard. She should never leave your site while outside though. Many neighborhood Romeos have no qualms about digging or climbing a fence.

Answer 6

Spay or neuter your dog
Do not breed or buy while shelter animals DIE
Rescue, foster, or vol. at a shelter
Encourage others to do the same

This would be the best advice i can give on this matter
and healthier on you pet

Answer 7

Um, well, You don't to breed to unexperenced dogs(nver been bred before) together. You want to breed an expericed dog with an unexperienced dog, or two experinced dogs.

Answer 8

1) QUALITY dogs to breed, please don't breed defective dogs to make a quick buck.

2) CLEAN facilities to prevent giardia, coccidia, parvo, distemper, and kennel cough. (bleach is your friend)

3) COORDINATE with your vet for deworming, vaccination, and proper care for your bitches during pregnancy and whelping.

Answer 9

Make sure the female is in heat. I think the male & female dog will know what to do.

Answer 10

Please don't. There are too many unwanted dogs in the world now, and many are purebreds. Contact your local shelter if you don't believe me. I've been doing pet rescues all my life.
