3 Things To Consider When Breeding Dogs

[@clintrench6850]

We got surprised by our blue healer having pups . She did so good so I want to make sure she gets the treatment she needs and her pups too. First thing I did was came here for advice. I came across this channel years ago and liked the training videos and I followed all their puppies progress. So when our dog had puppies first thing I did was came here for good advice and never lets us down. Great information

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching.

I was staying with a friend where her dog (Belgian malinois) became pregnant and gave birth the week before covid lockdowns. Let me tell you, it was such a blessing that I was able to be home everyday all day because those puppies needed care ever hour or so, and it was about 20 mins of work. They’d wake up, pee and poop and you gotta clean it up before they get it everywhere. And then the mom got an infection in her nipple, poor thing. But they all came out big and healthy. The hardest part was getting them new homes, it’s so sad letting them go after you spend 2-3 months caring for them.

Thanks, Kat. You are the best doggie doula, ever!

[@denissefaylo9593]

I like how you emphasize that if you are not doing this full time, the quality of your litter suffers and the life quality of the momma suffers drastically, which is less than ideal! This is super important for a any breeder to consider. Quality care produces quality dogs. ❤️ I also like that you prep the food by the dogs so they experience the home noise. I am glad you made this video to show how breeding is not just about creating cute puppies 🥰

[@maryroman1121]

Don't breed . adopt a homeless street dog or a dog from a shelter. This is not cute it's a insult to animal control that has to kill pets bc of overpopulation. Get your pets spay n neutered. There are not enough pet homes n animals are being killed because there is no more space. We cannot adopt our way out of the dog cat overpopulation. Do the animals n world a favor don't breed to kill.

Everybody does things differently. I saw a thumbs down, and I hate that when someone is trying to help others, and isn't bat face crazy. I wean my puppies with warm puppy can food and Tomlyn's high calorie puppy paste and move them to dry via soaked kibble - all based on what the individual puppy is ready for. I've added some esbilac in as well too, but the current litter didn't need it. I do I have to say the puppy paste is,,essential to have on hand, those puppies struggling with weight can use that extra boost and it's good from birth through their transition. Especially good for the transition, I've seen 'em drop weight switching, and the paste helps. I'll never have a litter without esbilac POWDER (not the canned, the calories in the premixed can suck), or puppy paste and a number of other goodies.

Cabbage works great for mastitis frozen in the freezer you take off a leaf and apply it to the breasts! And do it several times a day!! And antibiotics!! Use Nutra Cal for gaining weight! Use the Royal Canin with goat milk Mush at three weeks! Along with mommies breastmilk and they’ll be nice healthy puppies!!!

I love the idea of using different colored markers for weight gain or weight loss (simple but genius!). We will be having our first litter in 2-3 weeks and I’ve been binging your videos! So helpful! We’re having a small litter (2-3 pups pomskies). Thanks for the info!

[@adamr8628]

I have nine newborn German Shepherd puppies that are now four days old. Some gained a few ounces above the 15 ounce average birth weight and then rebounded back down to birth weight. Some stayed at the same weight as birth weight over those 4 days. They are eating about every 2 hours. They are strong and vigorous. They only cry when hungry and can easily crawl over to feed themselves. In between feeding if they don't cry, they sleep and don't act hungry. We have a light bulb that keeps a small area at 85 degrees thats available when they aren't next to mom. We've checked rectal temps on a couple and the were 97-99 degrees. We have started a small amount of formula, about a tablespoon at a time in between feedings. The small amount is to prevent aspiration. The vet recommended a tiny bit of Karo syrup rubbed onto the tongue occasionally to keep blood sugar ok. We didn't get much information from the vet so far to tell us when we should be worried. How many days can they remain near their birth weight and still be ok? We want them to gain an ounce or two a day but we aren't sure what we need to do differently? I know it's possible they could have worms or something? Mom seems to be making milk. The puppies seem satisfied. We give the mom canned puppy food mixed with a regular dry dog food, a hard-boiled egg every day and some peanut butter for fat. We aren't sure what would require taking them to the vet? We have good vets and they didn't ask to see them yet. I know it's possible that the first few days they might not gain much? But I want to stay on top of everything. Most information I read is that they should gain 1-2 ounces a day after the first 24 hours.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with that. We aren't vets, so we can't give medical advice, but when a puppy is really small or is losing weight, we supplement with liquid Esbilac formula in a human baby bottle with a more rounded nipple with a newborn milk flow.

I don’t think they do I’ve heard it can mess up the genes of the mother and she wouldn’t be able to breed full blood puppies again . True or not idk but most people don’t cross breed if they are trying to keep a blood line going.

[@buffyjosmom]

@@clintrench6850 Nope that is not true. You are correct though, most reputable, responsible, ethical breeders frown upon mixed breeding as their main goal is to improve their breed with each litter, and to produce their next show/working prospect.

Unfortunately there are backyard breedere that are shitty and don't do any of the things that you or any other reputable breeder does, no vet checks, no health testing, no temp checks, no socialization/enrichment/desensitization activities, mamas getting infections/mastitis and passing, them not wanting to buy puppy food or proper food for the mom, barely feeding mama or the puppies, the puppies being sent to irresponsible homes thatll drop them at a shelter as soon as it starts getting harder than they thought it would be, breeding 2 different breeds on purpose, them breeding 2 same breed dogs but with no health testing/no ofa, no temperment testing, so these breeders arent even doing a fraction of the work or spending a fraction of half the money/time a reputable breeder will on their dogs/puppies, and just wanting to breed to make money, not even really caring how healthy or sound they are when they become adults & its sad.

Reality is that millions of people don't care about these things because all they think is: "I want a dog." And as soon as they see the cost for a good reputable breeder, they will rush to the next cheapest option. When it comes to getting a dog, the vast majority of people impulse buy puppies.

Sort of ironic, a video about breeding healthly dogs, yet this person is breeding a dog that sounds like its on the verge of experiencing a life thretening condition, so much so that its temperature needs to be taken twice a day., how absurb. You got to ask yourself, is this dog really fit to be bred given the precautions that need to be taken to prevent its demise? Like many things these days, the problems are being caused by those very people purporting to be all about health and safety, you can always spot them by their level of arrogance and pathological air of self righteousness. I have been breeding dogs for 20 years and never had to take mamas temp twice a day, but then again I only breed healthy animals so I dont need to, and all the fools writing comments about the great advice make me want to vomit.
