puppy ready???

i have this female that i will be breeding. this will be my first breeding. now i have done some research and putting a whelping box. ( ill post pics soon as i can. my question is for those of you that have been breeding what are some supplies that i may need or that are must for you to have once the pups are born. she does go into heat for around another 4 months just trying to plan ahead. thanks for all your help.

 

Wow....you haven't got flamed yet,usually when someone mentions "breeding"they let em have it....anyways good luck

 

Now that all depends on the quality of stock and reasons behind the breeding.

 

been into these hounds for awhile wouldnt be planning a breeding if it wasnt deserved. she is a good female. 3 yrs old. already talked to serval kennels that ill be farming out to what doesnt farm out will stay on the yard. unless i dont feel i have the info needed to breed her and in that case ill be waiting til the next heat. not in any kind of hurry.

 

just curious but why breed ? whats your goal in doing it ? you seem to be thinking it out pretty good but breeding dogs is expensive time-consuming and at times perilous with very few short-term rewards .

 

^^^Wayne,... is that you?^^^:p

 

When a person puts this kind of thought into a breeding, I doubt they're looking for short term rewards, and I'm pretty sure they're aware of the complications of whelping a litter. Just a thought , but that may be why they are planning this far ahead.

 

just make sure your ready to syringe feed pups in case she wants nothing to do with the pups. alot of people breed without being ready for the worse so if you prepare from now you should be fine.
one more thing make sure you have an emergency 24 hour vet # in case of any complications, it is best to make friends with a vet willing to come to your home.
if your not prepared you dont just lose pups you can lose the mother as well.

 

alright i have to look up some syringes, thanks. my vet is a great lady works with me on the weekends and all so im good on the vet deal. im waiting til first of the year to take her to the vet for shots and check up before she is in heat. what about feed or vitamin? any good suggestions

 

If you wat some SOLID avice on dog breeding hit me up in M.
10 yrs breeding SUCSSFUL litters of APBT pups. We give top ofthe line care and attention. Dont listen to the others or websies AND PLEASE wait until the dog is of AGE. Dont breed her before she's ready or you'll be sorry

ask chaser71 he is my da he will now!!

 

ill do that but what do you mean by my da?

 

i think d.a means vet

 

None of my business if you breed your dogs. But you do have to be totally committed and prepared. Sounds like you are on the right track at least with your plans. I've owned this breed probably for as many yrs as some have been alive and I have never had a bad mother. I do maybe 2 breedings a yr. I place them and keep some off each litter. I think I have only ever sold 2 puppies. Period.
I would be happy to assist you on hints and tips. Anything for the welfare of the dogs.

 

thanks for all the help i just got cali jacks dvd on breeding in today. on the 3rd dvd now and taking notes. so far the dvd has been a great help.

 

Don't make it more complicated than it should be. Also don't handle the pups too much in the first two weeks. Some females freak out when you are touching the pups and they won't take care of them. Good luck with your litter man. You can PM if you need any help. I've got a litter that was just born close to a week ago. My female is a good mom too, so this is an easy litter. Lol

 

hoping that she does well with pups as she has never raised a litter i have no clue how this will go. just to update i finished all of the cali jack dvd on breeding. starting to build an above ground kennel at the end of next week. also getting vet checks set up for the first or second week of jan. If everything checks out ill be gathering and collecting info along with needed supplies from now til after the birth im sure. ill do my best to keep all updated.

 

Make sure you put her in that keep pen around 2 weeks before her due date. She may hold the pups if she doesn't trust her new environment.
