Learn which characteristics dominate and determine which ones you want to avoid.

]]> 91883 2 0 Step Expect little profit Expect little if any profit from breeding your dog. Typically, the owner of the male dog, or sire, incurs no cost and receives the pick of the litter as payment. The owner of the female dog, or dam, pockets income from sales of the remaining puppies, or whelps, but incurs all vet and boarding costs (including de-worming and shots).

]]> 91884 3 0 Step Locate a mate Find a suitable breeding mate for your dog. Exchange pedigrees with the other dog’s breeder.

]]> 91885 4 0 Tip Peak breeding ages are two years for males and three to four years for females. Avoid breeding immature pups.

]]> 91886 5 0 Step Prepare the female Wait for the female to go into heat. Symptoms include discharge from the vagina and swelling of the vulva. The most fertile time for the female is nine to 12 days following the onset of heat.

]]> 91887 6 0 Step Shave under tail Shave under the tail of the female to improve your chance for success, especially when breeding a long-haired dog.

]]> 91888 7 0 Step Introduce the animals Allow the two dogs to get comfortable with each other. Sequester them in the breeding enclosure for a day or two.

]]> 91889 8 0 Tip Conduct the breeding in the sire’s territory. This will help him to perform at his best.

]]> 91890 9 0 Step Impregnate the female Let nature take its course, or use an artificial insemination kit. With direct contact, the handler must hold the male and position the dog’s penis to ensure maximum penetration and prevent injury.

]]> 91891 10 0 Step Do it again After 48 hours, allow the dogs to repeat the mating process to increase the likelihood of success.

]]> 91892 11 0 Step Avoid false pregnancy Don’t be fooled by false pregnancy. Get a canine pregnancy test after four to five weeks.

]]> 91893 12 0 Step Learn about whelping Prepare to deliver the whelps – research the breed beforehand so you know what to expect.

]]> 91894 13 0 Fact The American Kennel Club sponsors a program to encourage the development of new and rare canine breeds.
