On which day should you knit a dog? Rules of dog breeding

Many owners of thoroughbred dogs sometimes think of doing their breeding. We must understand that this is a very difficult task. If you are seriously interested in breeding dogs, then in this article we will consider all the features of preparation, knitting.

Preparing the bitch for binding

Sexually mature dogs become in eight to ten months. Usually in this period the bitches have the first heat. From now on, you need to prepare the dog for mating. Write down in the period of estrus every day, what allocation the dog has, what appetite, the condition of the "loop", the state of health, and also changes in behavior. Also worth noting in the notebook is how the bitch behaved a few days before the appearance of excretions. This is necessary in order to make it easier for you to determine the beginning of the second heat. Early binding is not recommended. They can undermine the health of young, still fragile organisms, as well as the psyche of animals. Therefore, it is better to conduct knitting after two years of age. To find the right partner, you can contact the Kennel Club. There they will help to find a suitable dog for all the necessary criteria, even they will directly contact the owner of the candidate.

In some clubs, a mandatory condition is the binding of dogs, only registered there. When your dog is three or four years old, you can call and say that, according to the rules of their establishment, you have to reduce your pet. The Kennel Club will also help you in finding the right male.

If you have a record of the past two streams, then you can start preparing for binding. To do this, you need to do several activities:

• For 1.5 months before the event, a comprehensive biological analysis is provided to identify anaerobic infections. It can be done in any vet clinic. A certificate of results must be presented to the viscous owner of the dog. If suddenly any disease is revealed, then it is necessary to conduct a course of treatment.
• A month before mating, it is necessary to carry out preventive treatment against skin parasites. It is best to use sprays that do not contain toxic substances.
• After 5 days, conduct a course of deworming.
• A week later, you need to vaccinate against common infections.

Signs of the willingness of the dog to knit

On which day should you knit a dog? In this issue you need to understand in detail. To understand when the next heat will be, you need to keep a special diary. It should be written when the previous one was. Then you can predict with a slight error when the next one will be. But on what day does the estrus need to knit a dog? Approximately 12-15 from the beginning. But there are still some signs that you need to pay attention to before going to the "groom":

• The bitch is very active in flirting with the males;
• "Loop" soft to the touch, maximally increased;
• There are yellowish-pink discharge ;
• The dog becomes in a pose, while during courtship the males take the tail to the side (the same is done when stroking it on the croup or touching the "loop").

If there are these signs, then the bitch has begun the period of ovulation. It lasts about 5 days. This is the ideal time for dogs to mate. But it is best to hold this event on the second day, so that there is no risk of getting less puppies in the litter.

Note that not all dogs have a discharge during the entire heat, or they are not bright. There are times when the "loop" does not become soft, and the bitch is constantly aggressive towards males. Everything happens individually, like the estrus in dogs. The mating will be successful, if you calculate the days correctly, then fertilization will occur. To do this, you must keep a diary, otherwise no expert will help you in determining the day of ovulation.

Before knitting, do not feed the dog. It is better to spend the mating in the morning, on this day it is not necessary to give the food to the pet, it's better to walk for a short time.

Place for mating: how to choose?

If you are determined on which day you need to knit a dog, you need to designate the venue for the event. It must be prepared in advance. Note that it is the "lady" who is being taken to the "knight". This is necessary for the dog to feel confident. It is necessary to select a place taking into account the size of the dogs. For large ones, the medium sized area, fenced with a fence, is suitable, and for small ones there is a small room. First, the "bride" is released into the mating room. After 10 minutes, the "groom" is launched.

Acquaintance of two dogs

Now we have found out on which day the estrus needs to knit a dog, where it is better to hold such an event. Now consider how to introduce a bitch and a male. In the period of acquaintance, one must monitor their behavior, react to "signals". Young males may incorrectly make cages due to overexcitation, then the help of an experienced specialist will be required. This "groom" needs to be taken out of the room for a couple of minutes, then you should try again.

Experienced dogs behave differently - someone shows their superiority, and some flirt. Even if the dog is not the first mating, you still need to monitor his behavior. Usually bitches react calmly to males. They take courtship, play and stand in the rack, pulling the tail aside. Some young "ladies" may get scared. If your dog has taken the courtship of a cavalier, plays with him without manifestation of aggression, then you need to make sure that the "partners" do not "burn out".

Rules of dog mating: stages and technique

When the dog has risen in the rack, she needs to lubricate the "loop" with a baby cream or petroleum jelly. At this time, the owner takes her by the collar, and another person sits down from the side, holds her stomach, directs very gently "loop" to the genitals of the dog. The latter starts making cages. When a suitable position is found, the dog begins to make jerks. At this time, you need to monitor the dog, because in the period of ejaculation, which lasts no more than two minutes, he is not very confident on the ground.

There are cases when the genitals do not fit in the structure or size. Then you need to help pets. An experienced breeder presses the dog more tightly, or raises a hog bitch, or puts a dog on a stand. It is important at this moment not to touch the genital organs of animals, so as not to harm their psyche. After the end of ejaculation, the male falls on the "bride", which at this moment can show his discontent (this is the norm).

During the jerks of the "pair" there is a scraping ("lock"). This happens because of the peculiarities of the structure of the genital organs. This is some kind of "natural insurance", so that the mating does not end before the ejaculation occurs.

What to do after ejaculation?

If during the mating of the dog in the "lock" got, then approximately 3 minutes after the end of the ejaculation the owner of the dog carries the paws of the pet and puts it in a pose "tail to tail". Do not disconnect the cross by yourself. This can cause serious damage to dogs. At this moment it's better to calm the pets, talk to them. The duration of the "castle" stage is from 15 minutes to an hour. At the end of this time, the sexual organs of dogs become the same as they were before knitting, after which the animals separate. Then the pets are taken to their homes and waiting for confirmation of fertilization.

Breeding of dogs: price

Typically, the cost is determined by the average price for one representative of this breed. The more titles the dog has, the more expensive it will be with him. Usually, the owners say about the same value as their dog cost. For example, if the average German shepherd costs 10 thousand rubles, then the mating will be estimated as much. Sometimes people agree otherwise: the owner is given one puppy (or money for his sale). In general, everything in this matter is individual.

A small conclusion

Now you know on what day the estrus needs to knit a dog, and also how properly the mating should pass. We hope that our advice will help in carrying it out. Remember that knitting is only half the job. Breeding of dogs includes not only the process of mating, but many more important points, in particular training, delivery and cultivation of puppies.
