Answer 1

This is unbelievable! Have you not read a single response?
You have admitted you don't know what you're doing....please read the excellent responses you have gotten.

If you haven't a clue as to how to breed and you only want to breed because you "want her to have puppies", that makes you a bonafide backyard breeder....there is a right way and a wrong way to do things...you are dealing with living breathing creatures....don't you think you owe it to your dog to be as educated as possible???
Get yourself a mentor, go to some dog shows, ......

Answer 2

and the question is??? You are breeding a dog and you know nothing about breeding...and you worry if the male is younger than the female???? It doesn't matter if the dog is younger that the female unless the male is younger than 2 years of age. This is the age where you can determine whether or not any genetic testing is positive or negative. But...I take it you didn't research this and the male dog is probably younger than this and you have no idea what I am talking about when I say "genetic testing". You have no business breeding any dog...you haven't done your research as you say...and you need to spay or neuter your dog(s) or you will be another back yard breeder who is adding to the overpopulation of dogs who have no homes and have to be euthanized every year. Do what is right...spay or neuter your dog and let the people who know how to breed to do the breeding. Grrrrrr

Answer 3

Seriously. You don't know what you are doing. So don't do it until you've learned how to breed responsibly. I see from another question you posted that you are only 13 - you have PLENTY of time to learn.

Remember that a lot of the people being harsh might not realise your age. However, they ARE right. You are not yet ready to be breeding dogs.

Why do you want her to have a litter? What is so much better about the puppies that you create, than the thousands of dogs destroyed in shelters? Great pet? She probably is - so are loads of the dogs that are waiting for homes in shelters.

I'm sure your dog makes a great pet, but there's loads of dogs with potential to be great pets already. There's such a huge surplus that they are having to kill them. Do you REALLY want to add to the number killed? If you breed your dog without knowing what you are doing, then you WILL be adding to the number of dogs on death row.

I don't mean to sound harsh, I'm just trying to get across to you that breeding your pet is not a good idea. (BTW - are you willing for her or some/all of the pups to die during whelp? You might be lucky, they MIGHT all survive - but it's a risk you should be aware of).

Get her spayed and enjoy her for the great pet she no doubt is.

Answer 4

Here is a web-site that will answer all your questions. Please don't rush into breeding until you know exactly what to do and have a full understanding of the breeding process and make sure you are doing it for a good reason. If you can not follow these steps exactly you will want to hold off on breeding. There are so many things to consider and you don't want to mess up and end up injuring the dog or pups or causing genetic health problems.

Answer 5

Here's the deal. I am not trying to be rude, but breeding is hard. There is a lot to know and there is A LOT that can go wrong. It just shouldn't be done by people that don't know what they are doing.
If you have researched this the apporopriate amount, you wouldn't be asking these questions. You aren't educated enough about the process to keep your dog from having serious injury or even dying. So please either keep researching or spay her.

Angel S. - please explain to me how dogs were doing just fine without us? Half of dogs in the wild die during whelping. That's just fine?

Answer 6

well you are not going to get just positive answers. YOU are the one being irisponsible. YOU are the one that is wanting to breed with little information. YOU are the one trying to be a back yard breeder. YOU are the one adding yet more more pups to a society that can not house the ones we already have. YOU are the one not proving a desire to better the breed you represent. YOU are one of many that are just adding to the heartache of those that run the shelters and have to destroy so many animals because they are surrendered for all those stupid reasons......

YOU!!!!!!!

Answer 7

If you researched this you don't need positive answers.. You should have all the information you need.. If your dad's friend is a breeder.. Why wouldn't you sit down with her and learn everything you need to know from her?? She should.. know when a female is ready to be bred... If your dad really does have a breeder friend..

Answer 8

Your best bet is to do more research and find a mentor who can help you if you're hell-bent on breeding. Get a mentor whose litters you can help out with before you deal with your own dogs.

Answer 9

Please read through the web sites suggested. This should answer all your questions plus some.

Some things to keep in mind... your girl should be no less than two years old for her first mating; your male should be no less than one year old or old enough to have passed all necessary health tests. Your girl should have passed all necessary health tests as well - while she is in season is not the time to have her tested.

If either one is not certifiably healthy, please do not use them in any breeding program - better to neuter.

Please, please, please - pick up the phone or write an email to your girl's breeder. They are much better placed to provide you with good advice than the whole of the Yahoo Answers folk.

Answer 10

You did not research any of it, or you wouldn't keep asking these common sense questions.

Wanted to point out, like 30 minutes ago you said this...
"i know nothing about breeding but we really want to have her have puppies."

I HIGHLY doubt you have researched anything at all. PATHETIC!
