Is it ok if my female labrador dog to cross breed with american bulldog?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

It was produced by the original Bulldog, not the short stubby Bulldog of today. American Bulldogs are a large breed dog that are one of the strongest, most fit dogs you could ever come across. They weren't just "Crossed" by two dogs to make one. It took years and years of responsible educated breeding. American Bulldogs now are a pure-bred dog breed. American Bulldogs: 19 - 29 inches and 70 - 140 pounds. Some can be larger but its very rare.

I am guessing that you are not very old ? I guess because you asked this question and you should already know the answer.

Educate yourself a responsible breeding and whelping site.

Do your parents and other family members know of your idea?

Do you have several hundred dollars saved in case your girl needs a c-section, gets an infection (pyometra), has mastitis, won't accept her pups, etc......?

If you have someone that says they want a pup from you, will they give you $100 and sign a contract saying you will hold a puppy for them ? Call them and ask if they will send you a check this upcoming weekend and see what they say. If they cannot afford $100, how will they afford shots, worming, rabies, and neutering the puppy they get ?

Are you aware that this cross could make pups that grow up to look like a Pit Bull mix ?

Will you be able to do home checks as to where the pups go to make sure that they are not used as bait training dogs for the fighting dogs ? A gentler breed is used because they won't win, but they will fight back - your Lab/Am. Bulldog sounds perfect to me.

Are you aware that in many cities and states, that laws are being passed against these breeds ? (Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, American Buldogs, Chow-Chows, and ANY MIX of those dogs)

Just recently in my area a law was passed that anyone owning a dog like this would have to have the dog registered . It also places this on dangerous dogs of any breed that have a recorded bite record (simple injury). This means the dog is photographed, a microchipped placed in the dog with the owners information, rabies certificate checked, and EACH year the owner pays a $100 license. If the dog has been neutered, ALL of the above applies, but the license is $25.

Pretend this happens: the new owners call you in a year or 2 and tell you the dog you bred and are responsible for is climbing the fence, bit someone, and they cannot keep the dog. They don't want their money back because it says so in your Puppy Contract. However, they need to bring the dog over this coming weekend and drop it off.
YOU are RESPONSIBLE for the dog, because YOU BRED the pup and if YOU don't take the dog, it will go to the pound -- Being a " Dangerous Dog" the pound will EUTHANIZE the PUP YOU BRED.

Can you take this dog back ? Don't say, "it's not my dog."
If you do, the " Dog and Cat People of the World " do not consider you a responsible breeder - that is, You should not be breeding.

Here's what I tell people that want to breed : : : : :

see if you qualify ......

Responsible breeders are individuals who have focused their efforts on one or a select few breeds and through breeding, historical research and ongoing study, mentoring relationships, club memberships, showing, raising and training of these breeds.

They have become experts in their health, heritable defects, temperament and behavior.

Responsible breeders are well suited to educate and screen potential buyers/adopters and provide follow-up support after purchase or adoption.

Responsible breeders take lifetime responsibility for the animals they have bred.


PRACTICES FOR THE RESPONSIBLE BREEDER.

- Screens breeding stock for heritable diseases; removes affected animals from breeding program. Affected animals are altered; may be placed as pets as long as health issues are disclosed to buyers/adopters.

- Has working knowledge of genetics and generally avoids inbreeding.

- Removes aggressive animals from breeding program; alters or euthanizes them.

- Keeps breeding stock healthy and well socialized.

- Never keeps more dogs or cats than they can provide with the highest level of care, including quality food, clean water, proper shelter from heat or cold, exercise and socialization and professional veterinary care.

- Bases breeding frequency on mother’s health, age, condition and recuperative abilities.

- Does not breed too young or old animals.

- Breeds and rears dogs or cats in their home as they are considered part of the family.

- Ensures neonates are kept clean, warm, fed, vetted and with the mother until weaned; begins socialization of neonates at three weeks of age.

- Screens and counsels potential guardians; discusses positive and negative aspects of animal/breed.

- Ensures animals are weaned before placement (eight to ten weeks of age for dogs and cats).

- Complies with all applicable laws regulating breeders in their jurisdiction.

- Never sells puppies to a dealer or pet shop.

- Offers guidance and support to new guardians.

- Provides an adoption/purchase contract in plain English that spells out breeder’s responsibilities, adopter’s responsibilities, health guarantees and return policy.

- Provides accurate and reliable health, vaccination and pedigree information.

- Makes sure pet quality animals are sold on a limited registration (dogs only), spay/neuter contract or are altered before placement.

- Will take back any animal of their breeding, at any time and for any reason.


Did you pass ? Breeding is hard work, dreams of top dogs, and improving over the dogs you have.


akc.org is a good place for additional information

Answer 4

Get your dogs fixed! Go look at the shelters in your area and ask yourself if you want to be responsible for contributing to that population?
There are enough mutts in the world who don't have a home. Thousands have died today and thousands more will die tomorrow because of great ideas like this.

Answer 5

Possibly. I'm pretty sure you have heard of labradoodles and such (labradors and poodles mating).. but I would be concerned of heath defects. Mating 2 dogs that don't normally breed together may cause some serious heath problems to the babies.

Answer 6

I can't think of any reason to do that.

What's wrong with finding another lab? Some cross breeding is great, but most of it just produces mutts who inherit the weaknesses of both breeds.

Answer 7

NO why do you want to do that? Get a another Labrador to breed with

Answer 8

Give me 1 goods reason to do this.

I think you have your answer.

Look thru Pink Polka Dot answer.

Answer 9

Why would you want to do that ?
Where will the puppies go ?

Answer 10

No way !
