to breed two dogs do you just put them in the same room for a few days or do you have to do more?

Answer 1

It depends. I had two Golden's once that wouldn't mate because they had been raised together from puppies and it had to be done by a vet artifically....you don't want to know...trust me.

Usually though if the female is in heat, the male will do what comes natural. I wouldn't do it in the house though, use outside, give them privacy (after all you wouldn't want folks to watch you would you) and be patient.

The females heat cycle is also more susceptible to breeding during certain times. You may want them to be together more than once, in fact if you want to be sure and don't want to run her to the vet every day to know when she is more likely to "take" I'd keep them together through her entire cycle.

Answer 2

Well, it certainly depends upon the dogs. Believe me, plenty of dogs are bred without any intervention; so putting them in the same room for a few days would certainly do the trick. However, if you are talking about breeding pedigree dogs, there are a few precautions that need to be taken, simply because of the value of the dogs and the fact you don't want them injured in any way. First, you need to have a breeding station where you can secure the female comfortably. This is so she will not bite or pull on the male while they are mating. Then, you need to be present. Don't leave the dogs alone. You need to be available to release and remove the female as soon as mating has completed. If this all sounds a little too involved, then you need to take your animals to a breeder to have them bred. Some vets will do this, too.

Answer 3

You have to be very carefull in breeding dogs bc a lot of things can go wrong. First I would consult your vet and get the information you need from him. Second find some one who has done this before bc once the dogs are mated they get stuck together and awefully the male dog dosent care if he hurts the female bc he will tug her around and maybe even turn on her. She could get hurt really badely and then she may not even be able to breed or even carry puppies. The best anwser for this is just to let professional breeders handle it.

Answer 4

NO NO!!!
I think you should skip this breeding and learn more.
You can't just leave them alone in a room together. They could both get injured or hurt without supervision.
Please do not breed your dogs until you have learned more about breeding.
There is health testing and other things that need to be done before these dogs are bred.. If you are doing this to make money you might as well forget it.
Breeding dogs for money is not ethical.

Answer 5

You need to have both animals health checked for ailments affecting their breeds. You need to take the bltch to the vets to see if she is in a good condition to breed, and make arrangements with your vets just in case there are problems during whelping. Also, you need to set aside some money because not having medical help when a ***** is having trouble whelping may kill her and the pups.
You need to find suitable homes for the pups, but bear in mind that *for every puppy you bring into the world, one in a rescue is KILLED*. & sinse your dogs are probably not breeding nor showing quality, it would be pointless.

Sorry to lecture, but it needed to be said if you are considering it.

There is more to breeding than shoving two dogs into the same room and peeking through the key hole. It works but it isn't always safe. Sometimes you will need to raise the stud, or keep trying untill the bltch allows the stud. With inexpeicned males they will try throughout the heat, and distress the female. This may harm to the pups.

Answer 6

thereis much more to dog breeding than just "throwing them in a room"
1. are they compatible in breed standard?
2. have they been tested for brucillosis?
3. is the female old enough to breed and the male also?
4. do you know the backgrounds of both dogs so that you know there will be no hereditary problems?
5. is your reason for breeding "just to have puppies?
if so why? there is a big expense these days to a female having pups. she could end up needing surgical removal of the pups. . she could develope endometriosis, mastitis, or any number of problems. be prepared if you do breed.
6. the female could hurt the male if she isn't ready to mate.
or vice versa.

my best advise would be get a book on breeding and read up before you get to serious about it.

Answer 7

Step one would be making sure you have a male and a female... Please do not attempt to breed animals if, as the previous respondent stated, you have no idea what you're doing. You need to know about genetics in order to anticipate what the results might be - some parental traits can result in unhealthy offspring.

My advice would be to spay/neuter these dogs ASAP, and get any puppy you might want from a shelter.

Answer 8

I would think it would take longer as they would need to get acquainted. I tried this before and the female never did get bred? They were just too rushed and never did warm up to each other? P.S. I also agree with the other answers,you really do have to know what you are doing and Why! Too many Dogs & Puppies are put to death everywhere! Just because they may be Purebred dosen't mean their babies will carry they special traits you are searching for. Good Luck!

Answer 9

There's a lot more involved, in terms of your educating yourself about what's really invovled in breeding, the costs involved, and the commitment reguired, if you're going to do it right. Getting two dogs to copulate is the easy part, knowing whether they should or not is what takes the time and effort.
Please don't, you're nowhere near ready to do this.

Answer 10

are you asking these questions to educate or infuriate? seems some people are getting angry at the questions. I think they are good.
It takes more than a "breeding" to make a good dog create a great dog.

Answer 11

No, you need candlelight, a bottle of wine, and a bowl of pasta...haven't you seen Lady and the Tramp?

You'll get just as much worthy breeding advice from that movie as you apparently already have...
