dog breeding

I currently co-own my girl with her breeder. The agreement was if the breeder deemed her worthy of breeding, she would go on to produce 1 litter of dogs. After, full ownership would return to me. My breeder is pretty hands off and hasn’t pressured me to show/title. We entered a few...

I have a question about my 6-month-old puppy. Unfortunately because of covid, she is missing out on in-person training and the socialization of being around a variety of different dogs. She is not spayed and because of covid, her operation has been put off for another month. I would love to take...

Well, in a way. Long story short. I took in a GSD pure breed to see if she would fit our family and she didn’t but previous owner didn’t want her back but told me to keep in touch and to let them know who she is going to next. I was in the process of have her adopted or taken by the local rescue...

Heyo, is there anyway to guarantee puppies I breed don’t end up in a pound? I was thinking about a contract for anyone that would buy one but if they can’t handle the breed then give then back to me, don’t take them to the pound. I just want to know if there’s a way I can guarantee this, I’m not...

Hi everyone, I need some advice about a breeder, and not sure where to turn. Not sure if the breeder is having a streak of bad luck or if this is just a series of red flags and I should run for the hills. If this is not the appropriate sub please let me know and I will post elsewhere. In...

My family and I are getting a standard poodle. My spouse is of the thought that a dog shouldn’t cost much, couple hundred bucks maybe. He thought paying even 1000 was way overkill, that paying much for something that could get hit by a car isn’t worth it. Figures it’s crazy to spend so much on...

Hi Breeders! I figured it would be best to go to the experts. Our family of 4 l would like to get a puppy in the new year, and would love guidance towards what breeds best suit our family or tips from people who have a similar home to ours. We have done all the quizzes and have looked...

Hello! I just joined because I have a husky who recently gave birth to six beautiful shepskies. It was an accident. My girl became receptive in heat when a huge wildfire was burning our city and I was so stressed I mismanaged my two dogs. My GSD mated with her. I was going to do a spay abort but...

Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life growing up and about a year ago I got my first dog that I’ve raised on my own. Friends have always asked if I would ever breed dog since I love them so much and I’ve always said no because I would have a hard time feeling comfortable trusting someone else to raise...

My cavoodle (m) got my great dane x bull mastiff (f) pregnant! Wtf!!!! What are the puppies going to look like??? The cavoodle is 6kg and the great dane is around 30-35kg

So I have some questions about breeding small dogs, my maltipoo is currently in her second heat cycle and I'm considering mating her with my neighbors maltipoo stud that is just now around six months old, I have questions about his maturity and how do I know if he is old enough to mount her...

Good grief my f dane 3 years old is a first time mom and 2 days after delivery. I can’t get her to leave her puppies to go pee, eat, or drink. I have made her get up and go outside while I replace the linens and clean up but otherwise she won’t leave them. I have had to hand feed her “treats”...

Hey, I’m pretty sure of the type of dog I’d like but I’m currently looking for a reputable dog breeder to start a conversation and get started to some degree. Is anyone out there willing to talk more or possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks so much in advance. 🙏🏾

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this, but what can I do if I think someone is planning to breed a litter unethically`? In this case, UK legislation would apply, but any advice is appreciated. I'm not a breeder myself, just a concerned citizen. The suspect in question hasn't yet...

My doberman bitch is on her first breeding time, and I'm wondering whether I should just let the male mount or do assisted breeding. The male is experienced and is from my mentor breeder. They said they usually just let the male mount naturally, but I'm looking for a second opinion. The female...

Hello, I have a male Anatolian (200lbs) and a female Doberman (76lbs). I was wanting to breed the two together to get the ideal traits that both have to look after and protect my farm (Anatolian livestock guardian and the Doberman's "eyes in the sky" for birds of prey). My question is, is the...

Hi all. I have a Smithfield / red cattle dog. She’s recently got out while having yard repairs & shes come home pregnant …. I’m just wondering what I should be feeding her? She was just on lucky dog biscuits with wet foods. But I feel like she needs more to supply for the pups as well? For...

Lancaster Puppies IS a puppy mill advertiser! Fellow mod @oldwoodsman brought this site to my attention and I feel the need to be absolutely clear with the sub since some people were apparently defending this abhorrent puppy mill advertiser. A cursory search on Google brought up their website...

So my chihuahua gave birth to a different type of dog that doesn't at all look like a chihuahua. She looks much bulkier and strong, snubbier nose how is this possible? I found this chihuaha on the streets no chip no owner to be found and she came loaded and with just 1 pup at that with no...

Hi! We will be breeding our bitch preferably with her next heat (she's 5). But, we are in no way experienced and thus, don't really know how to pick a good stud. All the info on how to pick we basically have from people who want to use our bitch for breeding, so I don't trust them to be 100...
