Answer : That depends on many factors. Deciding whether or not to breed a dog is a big decision that should not be taken lightly. There are many factors that should be accounted for when determining if a dog is of breeding quality. First, the dog should be physically and genetically sound, free from any obvious defects, diseases, or disorders.
Some breeds are prone to hidden genetic diseases that can crop up later in the dogs life, resulting in a diminished quality of life and a bereaved dog owner. Research your breed and rule out any possible genetic defects or disorders through pedigree research and genetic screening. Every registry has a written standard for how the ideal specimen of a dog breed should look, and they are all fairly similar, with minor changes. To ensure that your dog is going to be making a contribution to his or her breed, it is recommended that you always train your dog in a discipline or earn a champion title in shows.
Retriever trials, flyball, agility, obedience, and weight pulling are just a few dog event types that you can check into! There really is a dog event for every dog. Another often overlooked, yet very important factor is ensuring that the dog you are breeding is temperamentally sound, meaning that he or she has a good temperament.
Dogs that are overly shy, aggressive, or exhibiting any mental unsoundness should not be bred, as these tendencies can be passed on to the puppies through genetics or environmental learning. Extreme shyness, phobias, and aggression cannot be trained out of a dog, and once a dog develops these issues, they will require life-long management to prevent reaction to triggers.
Prior to breeding any dog, you should always consult your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can help you to determine if your dog is at the right stage of life for handling the physical demands of breeding, whelping , and nursing puppies, or they may be able to spot potential problems that need to be addressed prior to breeding. They can also guide you through the steps of breeding, pregnancy, and whelping.
The last thing to consider is the commitment on your own part. If your dog is physically, mentally, and genetically sound, the veterinarian gives you the go-ahead, and you are willing and capable of committing to the requirements of raising a litter, then it sounds like you are ready to go. Question : How do I find responsible owners for my puppies?
Answer : Ideally, owners should be lined up prior to the breeding. One way of doing this is announcing the planned breeding and getting deposits on the puppies ahead of time. Selecting quality breeding stock with titles and champions in their disciplines will make this task much easier.
Another way to find responsible owners is to screen owners carefully. Ensure that their lifestyles match the lifestyle for the breed that you raise. A series of questions will help you to determine this. Also, be prepared to keep some puppies indefinitely until the right home can be found.
Creating a website for your puppies, advertising your puppies online , or in a newspaper will put you in touch with more prospective puppy owners, but they should all be carefully screened to ensure that it is a suitable match. Question : What type of contract should I provide to new owners? All of this should be specified, in writing, and signed and dated by both parties. Question : What can I provide to puppy buyers to better prepare for ownership? Answer : The best thing that you can provide to your new puppy owners is a properly socialized, well-trained puppy and a CKC registration application.
