Matters needing attention in breeding pet dogs

What should be paid attention to in breeding is to choose the most suitable mating age for dogs. Generally speaking, the mating time of male dogs should be after 1 year old, and the most suitable mating age for bitches should be paid attention to as follows:

① should take good care of estrus bitches to prevent them from being secretly mating by unselected males, thus affecting the quality of their offspring. Male dogs are also not allowed to go out to look for estrus bitches, otherwise they are likely to spread diseases or be bitten by other males for mating.

② breeding should be carried out in a quiet and clean place. Except for the dog owner, do not let other idle personnel watch and make noise.

Do not drink water or do strenuous exercise immediately after ③ breeding. You should allow both males and females to return to the kennel for a short rest.

④ male dogs should not mate frequently so as not to affect their health and shorten the breeding life. Adult male dogs should mate once a day, rest every 4 days, and occasionally mate twice in a day, with an interval of more than 6 hours, and must rest the next day. The mating frequency of young male dogs and old male dogs will be reduced. When the number of mating is increased as a last resort, nutrition should be strengthened to make up for it. When a male dog is over 12 years old, he is generally not allowed to breed.

Although ⑤ bitches can have two babies a year, they have too many babies, which has an impact on the physique of both bitches and puppies. According to the age and health of the bitch, it is always appropriate to breed three babies in two years or one child a year. Bitches over the age of 9 are generally not suitable for breeding.

⑥ should carefully record the date of the onset of estrus, the number of days of estrus and the date of mating for future reference.
