Answer 1

*Visit your local animal control on euthanization day (here it is Mondays) and you will see all of the beautiful puppies & dogs being killed because there aren't enough homes for them all! Then decide if you still want to bring more helpless puppies into this world* Please have your pet spayed* There are low cost clinics to help with this very issue*

Answer 2

The female is too young to have been bred at all. They need to be at least 2 years of age. Chances are she won;t raise the puppies even if they are born okay because she is just a baby herself. so be prepared to take a month or so off work so as you can feed them every 2 hours day and night for the first 2 weeks then every 3-4 hours day and night for weeks 3-4 until you can start weaning.

To me butchering is the thousands of puppies and dogs, cats and kittens that are put to sleep each and every week because of those who breed dogs that should not be bred.There is virtually no chance any of the puppies will be the way you want them to be. In fact a survey I read just last week was that it's the worst reason of all for dogs to be bred as the breeders are almost always disappointed. You may get the colour and that's about all.

Yes you have already bred her enough. Too much for one her age especially. You will no doubt get puppies.

I am begging you to have her spayed. Right now would be the best for her, but if you have this litter and she lives through the birth please do it after. For each pup you breed one in a shelter will die. Please help preserve a life already started rather than just creating more that in turn will lead to even more deaths.

I think you may have done this with the very best of intentions, but they are very misguided intentions. Please concider what I have said and have your female spayed and your male neutered. Even if it's only to take away the risks of many cancers later in life if they remain intact.

EDIT: She has bred enough. Don;t let them breed anymore.

By the way seeing as both are way too young to have had genetic testing however great their bloodlines are and however wonderful their show potential the pups still may have genetic problems. Show quality does not always mean breeding quality. Until they have both been tested at 2 years of age then neither should have been bred.

Edit 2: Testing of the hips, eyes etc can;t be done until the dogs are 2 years of age. DNA just identifies the dog. It does not say if it is predisposed to any genetic defects that can be passed on. These tests can't be done until they are 2 years of age and fully mature. No one will certify them before.

Answer 3

Breeding should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing and has done an extensive amount of research on it so I would suggest you get into contact with some reputable breeders and experts before you do anymore breeding. That being said to answer your question here are the basics. Idealy, a *female dog* should only be bred about once every two years, never under the age of two and usually should be retired by around 7 years old. So you are looking at about 3 litters of puppies. I don't know of any reason to limit the male dog.

Answer 4

Hi you have two dogs. I wonder what type they are? Are they the same breed or different?

This can make a difference in whether you would even attempt to breed them. Small female and larger male would not be good. The puppies may be too large to deliver.

I always wait for the 2nd heat for the female about 16 months , some prefer the 2 year mark. Their bodies are not really mature enough for breeding and you can seriously upset later breedings.

Then I would only breed once a year. think about humans would they like to be pregnant every time they could be. No.

It is very draining on the females energy and nutritional levels.
You will notice after a breeding how her coat will suffer.

Now to the male dog. You can breed the dog after six months but always supervise the mating as he will not be experienced in how to do this.

Breeds become locked for 10-15minutes while mating. After he has mounted and attached, he will need to turn around so the two of them are actually standing bottom to bottom. When he has finished he will slip out and that is that.

YOUR QUESTION REALLY IS WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR CONCEPTION

The heat period varies from 8 to 30 days with an average of about 20 days. Most female dogs will allow breeding around 10 to 16 days after start of the cycle.
You should consider your pet to be "in heat" for 21 days: 7 days coming into heat, 7 days in heat, 7 days going out. Though conception is most likely during the middle 7 days. If you want to ensure that your dog will not become pregnant, you should keep her confined for the entire 3 week period. Again, not all dogs follow with the norm. Watch your female and record her cycle. It will usually stay the same throughout her lifetime.
During this 7 days you can mate he once a day.

Just an added tip here. Make sure you up all the breeding mums vitamins especially calcium. I had one breeding because I did not know about this and my mum went into ceasar's called eclampsya and she was not allowed to breed anymore and we had to raise the puppies our selves.

Do do a lot of research as it is quite a big event to be covered to be done lovingly and correctly.

I have also given you a site about heats to help you further

All the best though with the breeding.

Answer 5

Unless these dogs are at least 2 years old and have had and passed genetic health testing(not just simple vet exams) you should not be breeding them at all regardless on if they have "proved" themselves or not.
Also there is no "puple ribbon" breeds in AKC or UKC...so unless these dogs have actually been shown themselves and have been pointed/championed then regardless of breed or pedigree it means nothing.

As for your question the amount they have already been bred should be enough.

The time to ask breeding/pregnancy/whelping questions is BEFORE breeding not during or after...a responsible breeder learns all they can before they try to establish a breeding program. Also your excuse for breeding is one of the oldest and flimsiest of all breeding excuses.

Answer 6

3 times is enough. In the UK the kennel club would only allow a bi tch 3 registered litters as they recognize that to have more is not only not fair to the bi tch but unhealthy.

The dog can be used more than 3 times and really good stud dogs who's genetic material is highly prized for either work or show often are, but I don't think that your dog comes into this category does he. He is just a nice pet dog like many other nice pet dogs.

I am not going to go into my feelings about breeding just for the sake of breeding but neutering your dogs not only prevents further pregnancies but also has health benefits. Among others your bit ch will never get pyometra and your dog will not get prostrate or testicular cancer.

If you really do care for your dogs it is now time to neuter them.

Answer 7

What a sad thing to ask. Those poor dogs, especially the female.

If you are asking this question, you should not be breeding in the first place. Show some love and get your poor girl spayed and your boy neutered to save them from cancer later on, and to keep them from bringing even more puppies into a world already filled with unwanted dogs. Don't become yet another BYB who breeds just because they can.

EDIT: Spaying and neutering are "butchering?" You make yourself come off as quite ignorant to the health risks of intact dogs, but I'm sure you couldn't be, since you've probably done years of research on those health risks, as well as the health risks of pregnancy and delivery, the genetics or your dogs, had genetic testing done and had them evaluated to make sure they fit the standard, as any good breeder would, right? I'm sure you've also had your female on a special diet to prepare her for the damaging process of carrying, bearing, and caring for puppies. Although, I suppose if you were a responsible breeder who had done all of these things, you wouldn't be breeding your female at such a dangerously young age and putting her at such a high risk for complications, or putting the pups at such a high risk of not receiving proper care from their too-young mother.

Altered animals live significantly longer on average than intact animals, and have a much, much, much lower risk of many cancers. Your poor female, since she hasn't been spayed before her first heat, already has a much higher risk of cancer than a female who was, but you can still reduce the risk if you act quickly. Neutering is beneficial to the health (and personality) of the male also.

Answer 8

its her business if she wants to breed...she asked for opinion on how many times to breed not if you thought she should breed so if you cant stay on topic keep your mouths shut...when i breed i only allow one litter a yr i always skip one heat and when she does breed i let the male tie with her every other day. he usually will breed with her 4 times...i breed standard poodles and i do so because i too have people i know that want this particular breed without the poodle snobs charging upwards of 1600 bucks for one and 1000 more to have papers...my dogs are healthy, vetted, and are treated like my children even though i am an advocate of spaying and neutering i only breed on occasion due to this breed being hard to find in my area.

Answer 9

I would say don't breed them too much (no more then 3 times) and just monitor the health of the female and make sure she has medical care through the whole process and afterwards. :-)

Answer 10

Any one who has to come to yahoo answers to ask a question about breeding there dog should NOT be breeding their dog. How hard is that concept

Answer 11

It is so sad that people think they will get puppies that are like the parents when they don't even know what they are doing. I really hope your female comes out of this okay.
Sad, just sad.
