By the way you should not breed a dog until it is at least two years old. When you take her to the vet to have the necessary health and genetic testing done I am sure the vet can answer your questions.

Answer 2

In my journey, the canine breeds that are the least probable to strengthen human aggression matters are the Pug, Beagle, English Bulldog, and Boston Terrier. i haven't particularly seen an occasion of any of those breeds that i could say had a severe aggression subject, however I even have met a selection of worried Beagles. properly-bred Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, and Greyhounds could be top up there as properly. on the different hand are the breeds that are maximum probable to be aggressive. I even have in no way had a delightful journey with a Yorkie. relatively, of the 50 or so Yorkies that I even have encountered, i could say all 50 had some form of aggression subject. Chow Chows, Akitas, and Chihuahuas are top up there as properly. yet, i could say that the main aggressive canine breeds are the countless breeds of Terrier from Scotland, the Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and Skye Terrier. Scotties and Westies in specific are very bitey canine.

I'm sorry, but if you don't already know the answer to this question, you're obviously not a reputable breeder. There are three Cocker Spaniels in a shelter near me right now; the world doesn't need any more. Spay your dog.

Answer 4

You should have her spayed and NOT breed her. There are way too many people breeding their dogs and we have thousands of dogs in rescue all across the U.S. as a result.

If you have to ask this question, then you haven't studied and learned all that you need to know to be a responsible breeder. This is why I tell you to have her spayed.

Dogs are not mature enough to breed till they are about age 2 and there's health testing that needs to be done to verify that the dog won't pass on hereditary problems. If you don't have people already committed to buying and being responsible owners for about 7 to 11 puppies, then you'd just be adding to the problem by breeding her.

Answer 5

After your girl is 2 years old, and you've read this:

Get her health tested per the recomendations in the link above. It would appear that eye problems, as well as hip dysplasia and patellar luxation are problems in the breed -- you should have her eyes checked and cleared through CERF, and her hips cleared through OFA or PennHip.

You should require the same of whatever male you select for her.

Additionally, it would be nice if you had buyers pre-screened and lined up for her puppies, and that you'd somehow proven she is a good example of the breed. The American Spaniel Club is holding a Working Dog Test and Field Instinct Evaluation in conjunction with its summer National in Oklahoma:

Answer 6

You should wait until her 2nd heat. She still not old enough to breed though. And you only want to breed and dag 2 time. It put's too much stain on their body if u over do. So if you want continue to breed just keep a female from one of her litters.

Serious breeding requires a lot of research and commitment, and only the best examples of the breed (who have been screened for genetic health and temperament issues) who have come from reputable breeders (if they told you beforehand that they are breeding material and are on a breeding contract) should be bred.

Each year, millions of pets, purebred and mixed, young and old, are being put to sleep simply because there are not enough responsible homes for them. Be a part of the solution.

Answer 8

never ever ever.

Get her spayed.

Has she come from champion lines? Do you have vet certified blood work, genetic screening, hip, eye, conformation test results?

Stop contributing to the pet overpopulation in this country. Because of irresponsible breeding, millions of dogs end up in shelters and hundreds of thousands are killed every year.

SPAY your animal

Answer 9

Wait until she is at least 3. 1 or 2 is too young. A 3 year old dog in human years is 21. Imagine someone getting at you at 14...that's not right. 3 is good.

Answer 10

You can breed this dog about 3 weeks after it has been spayed.
