dog breeding

Hiya I’m a bit confused as to how much puppy food I need to be feeding my bitch daily she has 4 cans of puppy food and 3 scoops of dry adult daily

Reaching out to y’all to see if anyone has ever used an in-house snap test kit to test entire pack/kennel for Brucellosis? I had my male tested over 3 years ago and he was negative but time has gone by and I really want to test my entire breeding dogs to know their status. I know it’s an...

My mother-dog has just weaned her litter of six pups. The weaning was initiated by her (the dam) and was instantaneous. Once they started on solids, she stopped nursing. The issue now, is that the mother seems to be agitated, and wants to spend time with the pups, but when she is brought back...

Anyone familiar with this mix?

Hi, this is my first post in this community but I’d just like some opinions on whether the stud fee I am asking for is appropriate given the circumstances. So for some details, I and a friend met whilst walking our dogs a couple of years ago and we both have huskies. I have a male who is...

Are there any more active dog breeding subreddits?

I fell in love with the dachshund breed in 2007 when I got my first doxie, Lucy. I wasn’t very knowledgeable about the avenues to get puppies, at the time, and I purchased her from a pet store for $550. After that I learned how pet stores tend to get their puppies and I began working with...

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question! In the future, like 5-7 years, I would love to get into breeding. I have become a huge dog nerd since getting a puppy for the first time this year and love learning all about the science of puppy raising and positive reinforcement...

Hello! Not a question about breeding but I feel like this sub may be able to help me anyway. If it is not allowed delete it. I want to eventually show and breed dogs. I found a breed I absolutely fell in love with called the Finnish Lapphund. This isn't a very popular breed. I didn't know this...

So I own this puppy (bitch, 9 months) but unfortunately my ex is also listed as an owner from when we bought her. My ex did a Akc registration and since breaking up tells me she owns the breeding rights + can take the dog to breed her whenever. I don’t want her bred, at least right now. But my...

Hi, I have 2 dogs that happen to get stuck together when she was in heat time passes and she’s pregnant and just gave birth. I have friends and family who wants the puppies but i just want them to be able to go to a good home where they’ll be fed, bathed and not used as breeding dogs. I’m...

Hello! I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me and my dog :) My dog's birthday is sometime in April 2020. I was hoping I could get a better idea of when his birthday might be because I'd like to be able to properly celebrate his birthday with him! I know it's a little silly but it's...

Yellow lab abdominal palpation Our yellow lab is pregnant and the estimated due date is March 26th. We brought her into her Vets and he tested her by abdominal palpation. He’s estimating 4-5 pups in there. So here’s my question…is that method usually accurate or could she have more/less than...

Found out Monday my bitch (today is day 60) has 12!! puppies in the hopper. She’s a first-time mom. This is not a mistake, multiple images from the X-ray all agree. Typical for our breed is 5-8. My most recent litter (which was also my first) had 5. This is not a breed that typically has...

If a merle parent and a non merle parent produces non merle puppies (i.e. black, black & tan, chocolate etc) are those puppies considered merles? I've been doing a lot of research and read contradictory articles stating there are merle carriers that do not display the merle gene but had a merle...

I have a pure bred Australian Shepherd that I bought from a breeder. We have registered her online, and are eventually going to want to breed her. I am so confused on the logistics behind breeding and don’t understand “breeding rights”. How do I know if the previous breeder has “declined” or...

If I mix a white standard poodle that has black points who’s sire is silver and it’s dame is white and 3 grandparents are silver and 1 grandparent is white, breed it with another standard poodle that is white/cream with black points who’s sire is cream and it’s dame is cream. Unsure of...

So we got our puppy from a breeder on April 14th (7.5 weeks old) she was born in a liter of 11. At the vet on the 14th she weighed 20.1 lbs. All of the pupdate pictures we received prior to April 9th showed a small puppy (like one would expect a puppy to generally look) the picture we received...

I sought out a reputable German shepherd breeder back in October and signed a contract for a pup before a planned breeding. The breeder I am working with is supplying the stud dog and the female is from another acquaintance of hers. The breeding was successful and a healthy litter of 8 pups was...

Before I start I’d like to acknowledge that this happened due to irresponsibility and stupidity on my part, my dog is getting spayed in a month so this won’t happen again! My parents are starting to breed miniature German spitz as my dad fell in love with the breed; they are the perfect active...
