I think that our dog is ready for breeding, how do we do it?

Question

We don't want to get the shaft. . We have two rottweillers. The youngest one has fantastic bloodlines. The older one is pure bred but he does not have any "show" lines. The youngest one does. Now, I have had a few breeders to ask to breed him. Now what we want to know is how does the payment go. Okay, the oldest one, when we just bred him for pets for people, the owner with the ***** kept the puppies and sold them, then we split the profits. Now an associate of ours was going to breed, but the one that they were going to breed is pregnant right now. When I mentioned the price that one of the breeders told me that they would give us, they told us that it was way too low. They said that full bred show dogs fetch a much higher price, higher than dogs that are just pure bred. One wanted to keep our dog at their place while breeding took place. What exactly is the norm, and how do we make sure that we are getting the right payment?

Gosh, I forgot about the yahoo filter. The word that is blanked out is female dog. Sorry about that.

I AM SICK TO DEATH OF INSULTING PEOPLE ANSWERING QUESTIONS. FOR EACH ONE OF YOU THAT CHOSE TO INSULT AND DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION, CONSIDER YOURSELF BLOCKED AND REPORTED!

Answer 1

I assume you are asking how to be a responsible breeder. :-)

1. Contact a breed club for your breed. Ask for a mentor.
2. STUDY the breed standard. Learn about dog anatomy and ask your mentor to
clarify anything you don't understand.
3. Learn what genetic faults and diseases run in your breed and test for any
that can be tested for.
4. Show your dog in conformation events to see if it is of the proper
quality for breeding. Winning doesn't always mean a dog is breeding quality,
but being around so many others that know your breed and will talk to you
will do wonders for your self-education efforts!
5. Study the past history of great dogs in your breed. You will see how your
breed has improved and progressed since the beginning of the breed.
6. Study the breed standard some more! ;-)
7. Join any Yahoo groups about your breed.
8. Live, dream and study your breed.
9. Get a good book on canine reproduction, and educate yourself about the
pitfalls, problems, and proud moments of breeding. Learn about the
physiology of reproduction, such as heat cycles and venereal diseases in
dogs, potential for problems specific to your breed, and what you need to
expect at whelping.
10. Remember that whelping (giving birth) can kill your female. Being used
as a stud dog can encourage bad behaviors common in intact males such as
territorial marking, aggression, and desire to roam from home.
11. Prepare to be broke. Breeding properly is EXPENSIVE.
12. Line up potential homes for any puppies you produce and write up a
contract. Remember to include that you will be willing to take back your
puppies at any time in their lives that they might need you. If you bring
life into this world, it is your responsibility FOREVER.
13. Prepare to spend sleepless nights attending whelping females, caring for
fading puppies or puppies orphaned, and practice cleaning up after 24/7 poop
machines.

I'm sure there are many things I missed because being a responsible breeder
isn't just a job. It's a way of life. You will live dogs. 24/7/365. There
are lots of hard decisions. There is a lot of expense. There will be pain.
But, if you do your darndest to always keep the welfare of your dogs and the
future of any of their offspring, you can go to step 14.

14. Enjoy the love and success of a job well done.

Answer 2

I back Jennifer T!!!! Payment should be the least important part of breeding, the safety of the dogs comes first. Normally the owner of the stud dog gets the pick of the litter, or the price of one puppy. You need to either show the dogs and see if their conformation stacks up (no pun intended), or at least get them evaluated by someone whose been in the breed for a long time and knows it like the back of their hand. See what health tests are needed for your breed (it may cost some money, but it's worth it to produce healthy puppies . . . . you'll regret it if you produce pups with CHD). Show dog doesn't mean anything. Two show champions can produce hideous puppies. You need to find out YOUR dog's conformation, not that of its predecessors. Is your dog's temperament correct? You DON'T want to breed for looks alone, health and temperament are just as important (if not more). If you don't breed for health and temperament, you won't be any better than the people who breed only for money. I would recommend waiting to breed for at least another year, so you can be familiar with the breed's standard, health, temperament, etc. It's more rewarding to have people respect you because you produced a lovely, healthy, happy litter -- than it is to make a few bucks off of innocent dogs.

Answer 3

AH. No championships earned? No knowledge of how to breed your dog properly? Only marginally good stock (even with champions in the bloodline - your dog should earn his own championship)

You, my dear are what is commonly known as a Back Yard Breeder. That doesn't mean you're evil but you are indeed money driven. Shame shame shame.

All too many wonderful breeds - including the Rottweiler - have been mis-bred to near ruin because of people like you.

Show your dog. Get his championship. Learn all you can about your breed, its standards, the pitfalls of poor research etc., and then consider breeding.

By then, you'll hopefully have come to your senses and will have neutered both of your dogs.

Answer 4

You are misguided here. Yes show dogs cost a lot more to breed to but YOUR DOG IS NOT A SHOW DOG and you need to stop staking a claim to the CH dogs in his pedigree. You had nothing to do with that and FYI you can take a pedigree full of CHampions and great dogs that adhere to the standard and screw it all up in one breeding to the wrong bit.ch and produce dogs that look NOTHING like the Champions you stake your claim to when you talk about ... my pet dog has a nice pedigree..
Has he had all of his health testing? OFA hips, heart, thyroid? He is not showing, he is not health tested.. he should not be bred. Back yard breeders who want to produce dogs for profits approach you to use him because A. you will let them so you can fill your pockets too.
B. Because they can't find ANY reputable breeders who will allow them to use their CH dogs.
Do your research here and learn about what makes a dog breeding quality because it is not money, it is not a pedigree and it is not necessary.
In 2006 there were 14,709 Rottweilers regsitered with the AKC. This number is only a small fraction of the number actually produced. All those who did not send in the registration, all those back yard bred dogs, all the CKC registered all the ones with no registrations. There is an idiot on every corner who thinks he is a breeder.
DO pedigree research. If you don't then you could be responsible for dogs who end up costing people thousands of dollars and heartache from mixing 2 lines of dogs with serious or deadly disorders. Don't forget also that all the idiots who buy these puppies will think they should breed too. Don't be part of the problem. Be part of the solution. Your dog doesn't owe you anything and he doesn't have anything to improve the gene pool of breed. If he did, he would be proving it in the show ring and through health testing.. NOT in the stud shed.
You can charge whatever you want but that doesn't make him worth it.

The truth hurts? When you ask a question you need to be prepared to get answers of all kinds. What most of us are sick of is all the people who breed with out a clue. You should be asking about how to go about health testing. How can I find out if my dog conforms to the standard? But all you want to know is How much money can I make off the back of my dog? So go ahead and report people for not supporting your agenda. That's life. BooHoo! People won't support my lack of knowledge and back yard breeding practices.. I'm gonna tell.. LOL

Answer 5

how ancient are they, the male simply is probably not ancient adequate to mate. What did your breeding mentor say? Or the vet that focuses on breeding? It may also be as low as two mins for the puppies to tie efficiently it's ordinarily 15-20 mins, however a tender puppy would possibly not have mature adequate sperm to efficiently impregnate the *****. I am now not towards breeding I identical to to obvious it performed proper due to the fact such a lot of animals are ditched and loss of life or dumped in shelters. One clutter of doggies can upload one hundred's of puppies to the populace in an issue of a couple of generations.

Answer 6

Depending on the market you would be lucky to sell the pups for $200. Only top breeding dogs get the bucks and they have lots of health checks done and certified. You are just a BYB putting out poor quality dogs. Show lines do not mean breeding quality or that the dog is sound, free of hereditary problems. I only hope you get sued thru the Puppy Lemon Law and get taught a lesson as so many BYB have. Gsd Rescue put a BYB out of business and she lost her home because she bred unsound pups and the owners sued her for several thousand dollars a piece needed for vet work to improve the pups health. BYB keep rescues and shelters open..

Answer 7

Your sick to death??? Well maybe a lot of people are so sick of backyard breeders like yourself we could scream!!!!!!!!! Nothing sinks in your thick heads. Rotts are a dime a dozen in shelters. Rotts are being put down everyday because there are to many of them because of BYB's. Do the world a favor and get them all fixed for crying out loud.

Answer 8

Jennifer T and Freedom have it pegged. You do not need to breed anything. If you are in it for the money, which you have made quite clear here, you are a backyard breeder and should be ashamed of yourself. You can block the responses you don't like, but hiding from the truth won't help you or your animals.
I hope to see the puppies in rescue so we can help them.

Answer 9

My neigbour downstairs had her Keeshound bred. She went to a breeder and had it done. She got paid plus got to keep her choice of the litter. If you are worried about price then I would check with more than one breeder.

Answer 10

you show your dogs and make sure they conform to standard. then you have their hips and elbows ofa certified good or excellent. then you test them both for genetic problems that rottweilers are known to have. otherwise you are simply a backyard breeder with paperwork.
