i have a 9 mth old cockapoo and am looking to breed her,do i us another cockapoo or poodle or cocker spaniel?

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

~First, 9 months old is TOO YOUNG to breed any female. She's just a puppy. Let her be one.
~Second, A cockapoo is a mutt. Why would you want to breed a mutt? Anybody can go to any dog shelter in America and find mutts any day of the week, they don't need you to bring more into the world.
~Third, I have no problems with mutts. I love them, and had one for 13 years. My problem is when people like you get a "cockapoo" and try to call it more than it is. It's just a cocker spaniel/poodle mix. That's it. It's not a purebred anything, which means that she shouldn't be bred. She should be spayed. Like I said before, there are plenty of mixes in the world already who need homes. Why bring more into it?

Answer 4

Please, none of the above. First, your dog is much too young to breed, she should be at least 2 years old. There are already too many poorly bred "designer" dogs, and if you breed to another cookapoo, you stand a good chance of having all sorts of problems. And there's no good reason to breed to either a cocker or a poodle. Cockapoos and all the other mixes of that sort are a long way from being a stable breed. There is much, much more to breeding good dogs that just putting a male and female together. Please don't even think about it until you learn what is invovled.

Answer 5

It makes nothing - your dog is a MUTT. There is no such thing as "Cockapoo" despite what the store told you. Your dog isn't a breed anymore than my Labrador/Landseer mix is a "Labraseer" or "Landsador". Though I got my dog from a shelter - you probably paid several hundred dollars at a pet store to someone that told you it was a breed.

Here's what you need to do - go to your local animal shelter. Walk around and look at all the dogs and puppies there. Read their stories. Read how long they've been there. Then think about breeding. And think about say, five dogs that you saw there at the shelter. If you allow that many puppies into the world those dogs will DIE because people will take your dogs instead. Could you live with that on your conscience? I sure couldn't.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Most of these mixes are pretty decent. Since you already have a dog, you really won't need anything different. Cocker x poodles do require regular grooming so a good slicker brush and wide tooth comb might be needed unless you already have those.

Answer 8

First, you're breeding a mutt. Second, can you answer all these questions with a firm and positive Yes?

~Is my female purebred?
~Is my female over two and under five?
~Is my female show quality?
~Is my female medically and genetically sound?
~Is the stud I will breed her to purebred?
~Is the stud show quality?
~Is the stud medically and genetically sound?
~Do I have homes for all the puppies my female will have, plus backups in case some of the homes don't work out?
~Am I financially able to provide the pups with their first shots and wormings, plus other medical expenses (if the mother has pregnancy problems, emergency C-section, etc)?

Since you obviously can't answer yes to the first question, you should not breed. Spay your dog, and save her from cancers and other medical problems female breeding stock get.

Answer 9

Go on www.petfinder.com and type in 'cocker spaniel mix' and then 'poodle mix'. When you see the tens of thousands of dogs that are dying in shelters because of people like YOU, maybe you'll realize how ridiculous you're being. If not, how sad for your dog that she has such an uncaring owner who doesn't care that she's killing dogs for her own selfish reasons.

Cockapoos are worthless mongrels- what do you expect to accomplish by breeding her? Putting her in danger of death during delivery? Giving her STDs? Increasing her risk of pyometra (uterus infection), mastitis (milk gland infection), and cancer? Do you WANT your dog to die? Because that's about the only reason I can think of for you wanting to breed her, is you want to kill both her and all those dogs in shelters.

SPAY YOUR DOG AND GET A LIFE!!

Answer 10

Why would you do this? First she is far too young to produce a well rounded litter.. she is too physically and mentally immature.. Plus you are purposely breeding mixed breed dogs.. We got shelters full of them with no homes. What makes you think your mixed breed dogs are going to be any different?? No one wants the ones that are alive now, why make more.

Obviously this is some sort of little business for you. If you think about it.. Let's say you compare it to a company that builds new cars.. When everyone has a car, and the car lot is full of unwanted cars, would you continue to make more cars? NO you wouldn't. So if we are full up of mixed breed dogs, why would you want to make anymore?? The lot's full !
