What should be paid attention to when breeding is to choose the most suitable mating age of the dog. Generally, the best breeding time for male dogs is after 1 year old. The most suitable mating age for female dogs should pay attention to the following factors:
1. Female dogs in estrus should be well taken care of to prevent them from being secretly bred with unselected male dogs, which will affect the quality of the offspring; male dogs are not allowed to go out to look for female dogs in estrus, otherwise they will easily be infected with diseases or compete for mates. And was bitten by other male dogs.
3. Breeding should be carried out in a quiet and clean place. Except for the dog owner, other people should not be allowed to watch or make noise.
3. Do not drink water or engage in strenuous exercise immediately after breeding. The male and female dogs should be allowed to return to the kennel for a brief rest.
4. Male dogs should not mate frequently to avoid affecting their health and shortening their breeding life. Adult male dogs mate once a day and should take a day off every 3-4 days. Occasionally, they mate twice in one day, with an interval of more than 6 hours, and must rest the next day. The frequency of breeding between young male dogs and older male dogs should be reduced. When the number of breedings is increased as a last resort, nutrition should be strengthened to compensate. Male dogs over 12 years old should generally not be bred.
5. Although female dogs can reproduce twice a year, too many births will have an impact on the physical constitution of both the female dog and the puppies. Depending on the age and health of the female dog, it can be determined whether it is more appropriate to breed three litters in two years or one litter in one year. Female dogs over 9 years old are generally not suitable for breeding.
6. Carefully record the date when the female dog starts estrus, the duration of each estrus stage, and the date of mating for future reference.
