female pomeranian for mating

This isactually a visual example of why "hybrid vigor" doesn't hold. You want to do this as soon as possible, since many registries cantake up to 6 weeks to return the forms for individual registration toyou (which you will want to give to your puppy buyers later). * Retinal Dysplasia. Not all vets are knowledgeable aboutwhelping so be sure to ask around and especially look forrecommendations from local breeders that you may know. All breeds have a given degree of homozygosity themating of two dogs from the same breed would not produce arecognizable specimen of the breed! Irish Setters have a test available that can detect carriers andaffected dogs; other breeds do not have this recourse. Inbreeding and linebreeding really differ only in degree. They were dogs of Sometimes entire litters of puppies are dumped onthe stud dog owner when the bitch's owners can no longer cope withthem because they didn't realize what a responsibility caring for alitter involved. You need to do research in your breedto find out what the common problems are. * Allergies. Remember that joint problems, even if nothereditary, may make it problematic for a bitch to be bred. We'll return the the importance of scrutinizing a pedigree in thegenetics section below. An increase in harmful recessives is undesirable but it is not amajor drawback if they are identified early. Xray evaluations of these joints are also needed. raised and socialized before being adopted out. You must make sure the bitch and the stud both are free frombrucellosis before breeding them. You will need to get the pups rotating on shifts. The same with dogs, you have to introduce new genes. Your male should be in top condition. After so many copies, you have to renew theink. Ideally, a bitch should only be bred every other year and she shouldnot be bred much before two years of age. While the bitch is nursing the puppies, she will require about threetimes the amount of food she normally eats! What assurances do you have that the puppies will not windup filling animal shelters, facing death because their parents were thoughtlessly bred? Remember that it is difficult to spot unaffected carriers. On the other hand, "linecrossing" is aform of outcrossing where dogs from unrelated lines are bred to This condition primarily affects themedium-to-large breeds, but smaller breeds have been known to be affected, for example Cocker Spaniels and Shetland Sheepdogs canhave this problem. Inbreeding is where the sire and the dam are closely related:mother to son, father to daughter, sister to brother, half sister to half brother, cousin to cousin. * you have lesser likelihood of ever identifying or eliminating anyharmful genes your mixed breed may be carrying Many people have written several treatises on this subject including Ms Swedlow; this article compiles many similar points. After the puppies are born, if not before, you must consider placingyour puppies. Usually, you will only find: veryexperienced breeders, ignorant breeders, and puppy mills making useof this technique. Medical Checks before Breeding Between dogs, it is most commonlypassed in sexual intercourse, although an entire kennel can beinfected through contact with secretions. Ahealthy active litter of six will run you ragged at this age. Instead, it dries andshrivels up, and when born, looks like a mummified puppy, blackenedand ready to rot. Theinbreeding coefficient measures the resulting increase inhomozygosity. His eyes should be checked annually. For example, PRA is a common problem in many breeds. _________________________________________________________________ Remember that you are going to need a vet that is familiar withwhelping dogs. For dogs, they should definitely have all their certificationsnecessary. produce a new line. A bone spur or a flake wears away at the joint which becomes stiff andpainful. appearance, some looking like the sire's line and some looking like the dam's line and some looking like mixtures of both lines. Caring for the Puppies. Inbreeding does NOTcreate anomalies, it brings present anomalies to the surface. This disease eventually causestotal blindness. It isvery rare for outcrossed puppies to be uniform in appearance. * Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA). Most breeds require eye checks of some sort, for a variety ofproblems. Examining the pedigrees also lets you know what percent of ancestrythe dogs share (since the relationships are often much more complexthan simply cousins or aunt/uncle, the degree of common ancestry isoften given as a percentage instead) and decide whether or not it'sacceptable given your current goals. A registered dog, beit AKC, UKC, CKC, KCetc., simply means that it's parents (and theirparents) are also registered with the same registry. In others, the onset is much later, when the dog is four to eight years old (and may have already been bred). The actual rate varies by how strongly you linebreed. This is a long hard road to eventuallydeveloping a line. You need to be able to evaluate the bitch's pedigree for compatibilitywith your dog's. When anaffected dog shows up, its pedigree is often examined for likely Usually the puppies are rather close in general * Incorrect temperament for breed. So I should breed when? Use warm water and let the food stand in a bowlfor about 2 hours. But my dog is registered! This is a homozygous breeding. This tends to make the populationlook more uniform, however there is little increase in prepotencyfrom this technique. If crossed with another dog carrying the samedefect, the offspring of that breeding _will_ demonstrate thedefect. Evenat maximum, you want to allow at least one unbred season betweenbreedings. At six weeks is when even seasoned breeders wonder why they do this. Starting week three, the pups start toeliminate some on their own.. then you will need to clean much moreoften! * _Heart conditions_ in many breeds must be checked for. Tryto select strengths to offset weaknesses. isn't any bad genes, then the puppies will be of very closeuniformity and very able to reproduce themselves (theoretically). Inbreeding is the Other things to check for The Canine Eye Registry Foundation (CERF) in the USA registers dogs that are found to be clear of eye problems by a board certified (AVCO) veterinarian. If youranimal is untrustworthy around people, overly aggressive to people,excitable, or is a fear-biter, do not breed it. But this doesn'ttake into account the question of recessives. You should make sure the bitch is up-to-date on all her vaccinations,medications, and shots before she is bred. It takes longer this way but less showquality is lost in the process. About six inches longer thanshe is, fore and aft, when laying prone (as in suckling her puppies)and about a foot on either side length wise. The effect of inbreeding on major polygenic traits is greater. As thecondition progresses, arthritic changes begin to destroy the You must be prepared to get her to the vet quickly in anemergency. No matter how special your dog is toyou, a puppy out of it is not guaranteed to be just like or evensimilar to your dog -- half its genes will be from another dog! In some breeds, you may need to wait one more season beforebeginning. Youwill have to find another dog that also has the characteristics youwant in your puppy; that dog will have to be un neutered; and the ownerof that dog will have to be willing to breed her/his dog to yours. There are a variety of joint problems found in most breeds. This way the breeder can again try to"edit out" the bad genes. Some dogs are asymptomatic, but stillshould not be bred. The pedigrees of both dogs shouldbe examined carefully to try to identify the ways in which the dogs Are you ready to take care of and place your dog'soffspring if this should happen to you? Thenyou will need to fill out and send in your litter registration form. The true form of an AKC has a Canine Good Citizentest (open to all dogs) that gives some indication of the dog'stemperament (and, yes, training). In some breeds the onset is quick, before the dogis two or three. Look for happy, confident and obedientanimals, and consider carefully the particular temperamentrequirements for your dog's breed. That is, ifyou want to improve structure, look for a dog with correctstructure and not an overbuilt dog. If you havesuch a dog, you will need to get your dog well known. You will do a lot of laundering tokeep things clean no matter what you use. Large litters will require supplemental feedings if you want all thepuppies to survive. Some breeds require intervention (such as Basset Hounds). * In some breeds, deafness is a potential problem. Considerations for Stud Dogs Breeding, and doing it right, is an expensive undertaking. Thiscondition also causes eventual blindness and is inherited. Newborn puppies MUST be kept warm. _________________________________________________________________ Bitches are not improved by having puppies. A healthy, happy, litter will "purr" like aswarm of bees and when feeding their tails will be straight out fromtheir bodies. He should be clear ofany abnormalities common to his breed. You must carefully consider each dog's pedigree for compatibility. A breeder might therefore introduce that bloodlineinto theirs for the hips, and be willing to have the possibility of If a purebred dog of breed X mated with a purebred dog of breed Y,both meeting health standards for their breed, is there a betterchance the offspring would be healthier than a same breed matingbecause the gene pool is larger?_ For most breeders,like to like matings are between dogs which resemble each othergreatly and so similar type dogs are bred. The resulting pups should not be bredthough, since they'd have a good chance of having the recessivesfrom BOTH breeds, so the grandpups would be inclined to be worseoff than the purebred offspring of their grandparents. Pregnancyis hard on the joints and on the body in general and if she isn't inthe best of physical health, it is much kinder not to breed her. In terms of health alone the first answer would be that in breedingtwo healthy dogs it shouldn't matter if they're the same of different breeds, you're apt to get healthy pups. You should pick dogs that complement each other well and are similarin general appearance. Herphysical growth is complete and pregnancy at this point won't endangerher health, provided that she is healthy to begin with. Smallerdogs are more prone to this problem than larger ones are. This allows your bitch to rest and regain her strength. After the puppies are born, there are many strategies for lining thewhelping box. There are a variety of tests to indicate a dog's temperament. At week five you will probably want to introduce the pups to weaningfood. Usually there are a very large ranges of sizes, coats, colors,markings, and other distinctive characteristics. * Malabsorptive syndromes, digestive problems. Use a good prepared milk-supplement especially formulated forpuppies. Suppose a suspected carrier of PRA is known for producing It is much easier to improve a fewfaults than to try and get excellent pups with a mediocre dog. carriers) or by inbreeding to a related dog that also doesn't showthe signs of being affected (usually littermates are used) this Abitch that whelps too often will produce weaker puppies more likely todie, and the repeated pregnancies are pretty rough on her, too. problem, but no dog with patellar luxation should be bred as thisis also an hereditary condition. Puppies at thisstage can devastate a room or garage in hours. The sire and dam are usually very linebred fromtheir prospective lines and the resulting puppies are varied in Every breed has a different set of potential problems for it. We'd eliminate Hip Dysplasia, PRA, heartproblems, thyroid problems, seizures, etc. On the other hand, suppose the two dogs were of breeds that have norecessive health problems in common. Many ofthe working breeds have a temperament test (for example, theDoberman's WAC test) for their breed. The season closest to thesecond birthday is a good one to start with; certainly no earlier thanthis. You should have a sturdy, clean, proper sized whelping box for thelitter. You can't place puppies earlier than 7.5 weeks orso (no matter how much you may want to). * Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). What happens if your bitch gets an infection ormastitis? _________________________________________________________________ supplementary food during the last three weeks or so of pregnancy. Suppose some of your puppies are returned? What if she dies? This is probably the most common strategy in breeding purebred dogs(and in developing new breeds, for that matter). This is referred to as reaching homozygous litters (more genes of the same kind apparent in the puppies). It's important, however, to keep the frequency of breeding low. By the timeyou've picked out a good bitch, waited for her to grow old enough(minimum age:18 monthsbefore breeding), picked out the best dog tomate her with, gone through all the health checks she needs, ensuredthat the dog you want to use also passes the same health checks,you've invested a lot of time and effort. She will require Simply because two dogs "look good" or even *are*good does not mean that they necessarily complement each other:suppose they are both carriers for the same disease? This will be your best resource, as well as any long-time breeders that you know. Generally, traitsthat are highly inherited (ie largely additively controlled) arenot adversely affected by inbreeding but, traits under non-additivecontrol, especially those tied to dominance and thus not of highheritability, are often markedly harmed by inbreeding. grandparents and will be close genetically to each other. Heating lamps are ok but puppies can become dehydrated. Prewhelping preparations Such a dog must have some evidence of external evaluation.That is, others besides the breeder or the owner must also think thatthe dog is a good representative of its breed. Besides the possibility of bad recessives,inbreeding exclusively will eventually lead to infertility. Finally, remember that not only the potential dam _but also the sire_must be checked for all the things appropriate for their breed andparticular bloodlines. They may undergo _temporary_ temperament changes, but once the puppiesare gone, she'll be back to her old self. This confers nomerit in of itself, it simply means that the dog's parentage is known. Dogscan have miscarriages. Diagnosis is fairly straightforward and surgery can correct the Much better alternatives include videotapes that are available. The reason for this is the recessive genes hiddenin the first cross that came out in the second generation. It is quite likely that the dam will come down with aninfected uterus after such a puppy. For good results it must be well-plannedand breeders must be ready for whatever problems it presents. However, they aregenerally all a small sized, buff colored shaggy dog. To find this out, test mating is doneto a dog that is affected with the genetic problem (resultingusually in puppies that are both affected and non-affected You will also need toresearch the particular bloodlines you are using to see if they areprone to any additional problems you want to know about and screen foras well. Inbreeding is not for novices. Soit can duplicate both desirable and harmful alleles, both of whichcan be unsuspected in the line, and may appear. _________________________________________________________________ Purebred dogs have all these diseases, though! You will have to keep the whelping box clean. The summary is that if you want to do it right, andget healthy and happy puppies, it is very expensive and a lot of work. Best yet, go back to the same breeder of your dog,if possible, and pick another puppy out of similar lines. There is absolutely nothing wrong with spaying a bitchwithout her having a litter. I havelisted common ones below, but this is not to say that all dogs must bechecked for everything listed. At week six you should vaccination and worm the pups, and have themchecked for heart murmurs, hernias, males for testicles (yes you shouldbe able to feel them at 6 weeks! Such a dog must represent the best efforts of its breeder at that point. I want to make some money! The best method of warming a puppy is touse a special whelping box heating pad with a towel over it to preventsoiling the pad. This phase alone requiresconsiderable research to find a suitable candidate, and you shoulddefinitely work closely with a knowledgeable person, ideally thebreeder of your dog. You have to remember that dogs that appear totally healthy may becarriers of genetic problems. If some of the puppies die, or you have asmaller than usual litter, you may not get as much money from the saleof the puppies as you had though. How aboutpictures of the pups for your clients? Itis much easier, often less expensive, and certainly less timeconsuming to pick out an existing dog that you like from the shelteror another breeder. The _only_ reason you should be breeding is that you honestly feelthat you are improving your breed by doing so. Thegeneral strategy is that there is a common ancestor that is being Ingeneral, puppy food is formulated both for puppies and pregnant ornursing bitches. Do not allow your bitch tobe bred to an unsuitable dog, and conversely, be picky about thebitches you allow your dog to breed. Pfaffenberger's book has some interesting data on this. Frequency isnot generally a problem although some dogs have problems with spermproduction if they breed once a day for several days. Placing the puppies This is flat out wrong. You are better off consultingwith a financial wizard about investing the money you would otherwisespend and lose on breeding! If you want to breed your dog so as to get another dog like yours,think about this for a moment. This is amalformation or deterioration of the hip joint, so that the socket It only shifts them around like arubix cube. They areso curious, they want to explore everywhere, and they are at the primeage for socialization and exposure to many things that you, as aresponsible breeder, want to give them a head start on. For the first two weeksthe bitch will keep the pups pretty clean, but the bedding should bechanged twice a day at minimum. It's not that owners of mixedbreeds are bad, by any means, but they are not looking for possibleinheritable problems, either. And then becausesome breeders are more interested in winning, they do not place theaffected puppies on spay/neuter contracts. "Water puppies" are another typeof problem in which the dead puppy appears to have never properlydeveloped a skeleton and appears to be full of gelatin. Checkthe breed standard for your dog and ask a knowledgeable person fortheir evaluation of your dog. _________________________________________________________________ This process results in dogs that will often reproduce their same level of quality. You do have a place tokeep them that they are safe in and can't destroy? * Cataracts. It appearsto be a simple autosomal recessive, but the late onsetcomplicates breeding programs. These dogs may or may When you breed two different breeds together, what kind of variation can you expect? Breeders frequently count themselves _lucky_ if they break even. Canyou keep the extra puppies? come along for the ride! Frequency of Breeding Your bitch may not be able to care for a very They needtop-quality feeding and care if they are going to be bred often. Such a dog must be tested asit matures for any problems that tend to appear in its breed, whetherthat is hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, von Willebrand's, cataracts,PRA, fanconi syndrome, subaortic stenosis, etc.. _________________________________________________________________ You may be wondering whether or not you should breed your dog. Toy breedscan have joint problems too; just because your breed is smallerdoesn't mean you can figure you are free of hip dysplasia and be donewith it. Make sure the temperature does not go too high. Well, yes, but that doesn't _mean_ a whole lot. This generallyinvolves showing your dog (in show, field, or obedience) and doingother work with him. just considered old age, although it could well be hip dysplasia. What happens if oneof the pups is affected with "swimmer-puppy" syndrome? If we knew everything about genetics, we wouldn't _have_ problemswith our dogs any more. It seems that you never hear about mixed breed dogs with problems._ the problem gene (this is not as accurate as breeding to anaffected dog, but you are less likely to have to put all thepuppies down). Usually you will have to mush up the dry puppy food for the pupsto be able to eat it. carriers. * Epilepsy. dog. Copyright of pommania poms this article my not be reproduced anywhere. There are many forms and causes for cataracts, but someforms, such as juvenile cataracts, are inherited and such dogs should not be bred. Other people use pineshavings (about six inches deep). Genetics At four weeks, the pups usually become very active and it this timemay require a larger area then the whelping boxyou will need a largeex-pen or some way of confining them safely. Other people havehad success with synthetic materials on top of absorbent materials:the synthetic material provides secure footing, but the urine andother liquids pass through it to leave it dry. What are like-to-like matings and compensatory matings?_ Are you prepared to deal with cases where you are certain your dog isnot the sire of the puppies but the bitch's owner insists that he is? If a dog is affected, then bothparents are either carriers or also affected. A correct dog andnot one who errs in the opposite direction is required. After all, they will look The resulting puppies will have alot of genetic material that is the same as their parents and If the breeder is very careful, affectedpups can be used wisely to prevent loss of quality, but stillremove the affected genes by only breeding the affected pups toknown non-carrier relatives. In the US, you would mail the xrays to the OrthopedicFoundation of Animals and wait several weeks for their evaluation. Though this method, new genes are slowly introduced and unwanted genes areslowly replaced. This seems to be linked to a viral exposure. That ancestor may then be considered a possible carrierand line breeding on him is avoided. You should be socializing now too And are you going to do any puppytesting for temperaments? It shows you what recessivesyou have lurking in the dogs' backgrounds -- _both_ good and bad. Most registries do not make any assertions of quality in the dogs theyregister (except for some limited breed-only registrations, but theseare uncommon). If a general blood test is ever developed that shows the presenceof the recessive in an unaffected dog, then much more accuratebreedings may be done; currently this is only possible for IrishSetters. My kids should see the wonders of birth and life! Should I Breed My Dog? Inbreeding increases homozygosity and decrease heterozygosity. There are dogs that come down with PRA that have a certain ancestorin common. But this does not apply to a stud dog, so he should definitely haveall of his checks and certifications before being bred. The results he saw in the first and in subsequentmixed generations are pretty interesting. Care of the Pregnant or Nursing Bitch Forthe first two weeks you may have to supplement as much as every fourhours. You must be prepared to board the bitch. Thus, inbreedingtends to make animals homozygous rather than heterozygous. The pups would have the same odds ofhaving that health problem as purebred pups of either breed. An unproven dog (that has no previous puppies oronly puppies too young to evaluate) will command a much lower stud dogfee than a proven dog (with a record of puppies to examine). There are manydysplastic dogs out there that had vets look at their xrays andpronounce them "wonderful." You may have possible vet bills if the puppiesrequire extra attention. Suppose they bothhave a tendency to overbites or other disqualifying faults? It can be disastrous if two dogs are left aloneto mate. outcrossed litters are generally heterozygous, and do not reliably reproducethemselves, so even the nicest puppy in the litter may not laterproduce the best puppies. In fact, you will put her at risk of mammary cancerand pyometra. For many breeds this means that they should be over two I want another dog just like mine! The dam _must_ be ingood health, to withstand the stresses and rigors of a pregnancy. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. protective cartilage and the dog may experience severe pain if thecondition is bad enough. This would reduce or eliminatethe odds of the puppies of having the health problems of eitherbreed. Overbreeding and inadequate care are usually thecauses. The sire should be in excellent general health. If you breedtwo cockapoos together (not generally done), you get an even widervariation of dogs -- some look like Miniature Poodles, others like Cocker Spaniels. Responsible breeders try to identify genetic diseases their dogsmight be carrying and to eliminate them by careful breeding. Suppose you wind up keeping more of the litterthan you intended to? If your dog is not a good representation ofits breed, do not let it reproduce. These facilities should be adequate for up to aweek of boarding and to prevent any mismating. When they get older and start to go blind, it could be PRA, but the First, remember that it is extremely difficult to come up with a topquality stud dog that people want to use. The pups resemble their parents because of the genes in common withthem. It is also common for nursing mothers to go out of coat at this time. * Hemophilia type of problems, e.g., von Willebrand's disease andothers. owners are unlikely to test for this. Another _very_important point to keep in mind is that when a purebred carrying agenetic defect is crossed with another breed or mixed breed, the "bad" genes do NOT "go away" even though they may not be expressedin the offspring. They do not restrict the breeding of their dogs andhence there is no guarantee that a registered dog is a good specimenof its breed. What if the whelping goes wrong and dead puppies are born? Suppose you breed twodogs of different breeds that both have the same incidence of a recessive health problem. ), deafness, and eye problems. Noreputable breeder will use inbreeding exclusively, and manybreeders simply never use it. These conditions require corrective surgery orthe puppy will die. Are you prepared to do some legwork to find GOOD homes for them, notjust hand them off to the first person who comes by? He should be certified clear ofjoint problems (and in many cases that means he has to be at least twoyears old). Difficulties during whelping are entirely possible, and the rule forsome breeds.
