Breeding Too Young

what????????????

 

Nevermind all that 'worthy' crap at the moment. We are talking health wise in this thread.

 

i wasnt responding to you minor, it was for someone else

 

there is no health risk at all as has been stated already as long as no complications were had during or after the birth of the pups plain and simple nothing really to argue about here guys and gals no reason to continue it sure we all don't like to see them bred this early for the simple fact they aren't proven but that has been said as well

 

That is absolutely, positively, 100% false. Instead of being a parrot repeating shit you've read posted by people on forums, try doing a little research.

 

Boogie- I get your point, but it's not COMPLETELY false. I mean, breeding bitches over and over is one of the knocks against puppy mills. It probably won't kill them, but some bitches that I've had go into heat close to every 4 months. That's roughly 16 weeks, meaning that they probably only weaned the pups 10 weeks or so ago. That's just not enough time to recover IMO. Again, I'm not saying that it will kill them but it can't really be good for them. I think if it is done a couple of times- ok. But over and over and over again will eventually catch up with the gyp in some form.

To the OP- I wouldn't have bred her that young, but it wouldn't factor into my decision whether I purchased her or not.

 

Health wise there should not be a problem.The dog coming into heat means her body is ready to handle it.The next concern is, if she is mentally mature enough.

disclaimer......I DO NOT CONDONE BREEDING A YOUNG DOG JUST BECAUSE IT CAME INTO HEAT.

 

I agree with you if you do it multiple times. Back to back is 2, which is what I am replying about. A bitch who has whelped a litter will NEVER come into heat again in 4 months from the day of birthing. At least not that I have seen. If taken care of during the pregnancy, whelping, and given good aftercare, it is actually healthier for the bitch to have the litters back to back. There is a study done by one of the top reproduction specialists on the matter. A friend sent it to me on another forum, I will see if I can dig up a link for you.

OP I do not think it will physically hurt the bitch in any way. I wouldn't have bred a bitch that young either but she should be fine.

 

Where do you come up with this crap? Would you care to post your source for this? I don't condone breeding a bitch on it's first heat and am in full agreement with anybody thinking like that, but that's no reason to spout off false statements and made up dribble.

 

Khanfueshus says if she old enough to bleed she old enough to breed, if not punch em in the nose lol.

 

lol now that's the best post yet lol

 

The bitch will be fine. It sounds like you have the right idea as far as letting her mature before another breeding is thought about. The youngest I've ever bred a dog was not much older than this and if she's made it through the process as a good mom she's got a good start if she proves worthy of being bred again.

 

Please stop the anthropomorphic silly-shit and use the logic you're ever-so-snidely shaking in folks' faces.

Here's the thing. Before it became politically incorrect, a whole lot of folks, including many of "the greats" bred gyps on first heats.

The biggest reason why we don't do it now has shit little to do with "stress on the body" or any other such "logic"-it mostly has to do with responsibility, giving oneself time to see what a dog is made of before pumping pups out of it, and doing your part to control animal population.

That last reason, the animal population thing, is why many registries put in the age limits....it had to do with looking responsible while advocating what many see as the problem...breeding animals....get it? Jack squat to do with stress. People know and a lot of old timers will tell you that a lot of the best litters came of of youg-assed dogs. I'm not saying go and breed your puppy. However, it just gets triring watching folks mangle the truth to fit their politically correct agendas. Don't breed young dogs because doing so in this day and age with the problems we all have with dogs in general and pit bulls in particular is damned irresponsible. Period. However, as far as a bitch bred young is concerned, she'll most likely get her adult shape a lot earlier than one bred later, she'll probably be a better mother long term, and if she was bred right and wasbred to the right stud, probably threw her best pups in that early litter.

As far as damage and long term negative effects, there probably will not be any-provided she was treated right before, during and after whelp. Do what's right for the times we live in....know your dog before breeding and that generally means waiting until the dog is at least nearing three. But don't be bullshitted and fooled about why you're doing what you're doing because some folks want to compare dogs to kids. Know the facts, but still do the right thing because in the long term waiting those years will serve you, your dog and the breed better.

 

Mentally mature enough? Seriously? What does she have to do? Raise, school and feed them for eighteen years?

The opposite is usually the problem.

 

You didn't know?

 

Blow it out of context if you want to.Obviously your to dense to understand what i meant.

 

Good feed and proper care and a gyp can be bred back to back with no issues (given first litter is healthy).

Al comes down to what condition you keep your dog in and how good she bounces back weight wise. And if shes in good condition weight wise there should be no drain on her system.

 

Welping pups can put a strain on an inadiquitly fed animal. And thats why puppymills fail. Poor feed and condition of the animals. Or they would have better results like livestock raised and fed top notch feed.

It takes an animal longer to regain minerals and vitamines lost due to welping.

Gyp would bounce back faster off raw feed and prper excesis to make body store new nourishmen. JMO...

 

LOL i love it how you speak in the 3rd person. Im pretty much off topic but i just had to add that.

 

second that
