Breeding healthy dogs
Innumerous people across the world love to keep dogs as
their pets. They will do everything to keep their dogs in
the best of health. These people also like to breed their
dogs, either to increase their numbers or to make money out
of them. However, most of them do not have a fair idea of
how to breed healthy dogs and land themselves into
problems. Therefore, if you are one of them, and if you
need to know about the ways to breeding healthy dogs, you
must follow some good advice.

One of the foremost things is choosing the right mate for
your dog. While choosing the right mate, you must see
whether it is compatible and possesses good temperament.
Both the male and the female should be healthy and must
have no genetic faults, which may potentially jeopardize
the health of their puppies. Moreover, you must be sure
whether the female dog is healthy, as it will determine her
pregnancy and the process of birth. In this case, you must
support the female dog with healthy supplements and
nutritious food to ensure healthy birth. Better health will
enable them to stay healthy during pregnancy as well.

You must determine the breeding history of both the female
and male dogs. A good breeding record is very essential for
successful breeding. Prepare the record of the medical
history for your female dog, when it is going into heat,
changing its behavior or different medical issues. There
are various kinds of dogs, and so it is essential to have
the knowledge of the kind of spices that you have. If you
find that your dog is the rarest of its type, you may find
difficult in getting a compatible dog for matting. However,
in this regard, if you want to mate with different species,
be assured about the history of the dog, and about its
health and temperament. You must as well know your dog's
family of breeds.

If you can get the information about your dog's family of
breeds, you can easily know the stature of your own dog. In
the case of female dog, there are more complications in
respect to the male dogs, as it is little bit hard task to
find the history of the female dog. However, in this case
you can consult your nearby vet. It has been seen that
failure in conception is mainly due to the female dogs. It
can be due the hormone problem or wrong timing, or some
thing like that. It takes nearly 2 years for the female
dogs to be fully-grown as well as developed. Therefore, do
not consider her for mating before her age. If she is mated
before her full development, she may face problems in
conceiving and it may put your dog into danger.

Before breeding, you must get your bitch or stud checked to
make sure whether s/he is free from brucellosis. This
disease can cause sterility in both the sexes and it can
further cause the puppies to be aborted just after birth.
Moreover, this germ is occasionally passed through sexual
intercourse among the dogs, and it can infect the whole
kennel.
