Dog Breeding and Mating

Answer If the mother dog won't feed her puppies and you want the job it's not that hard. Get an eye dropper, pour warm milk into it and feed it to the puppies. They will try to reject it so you have to be a bit forceful, but don't squeeze too much milk into their mouths they might choke. Your local Vet can supply or help with a supplement for mother's milk - probably feeding every two hours with a soft nipple on the bottle or if the puppies are really small - an eye dropper! Make sure you cuddle them and keep them warm, when they sleep, wrap a ticking clock near or underneath them and a hot water bottle would be great too. All the best!!

It depends. You can get them really cheap at a kennel, pound, and a Cavachon rescue. You can get them really expensive at a pet shop and a breeder. I'd go with the kennel, pound, or rescue. It saves money and a life!

Ask around. Sometimes county animal departments and a few vets do them for free.

Chaos got bully style and game style and about 5 different kennels. The kennel in Illions dogs, came from the watchdog line. Anyways, to be sure, look for some other real pitbull line.

Due to the high incidence of parasitism in puppies and the risks posed to humans by hookworms and roundworms, the Center for Disease Control recommends that puppies be started on a preventative deworming schedule at 2 weeks of age and continued every 2 weeks until they are at least 8 weeks of age. Some veterinarians recommend continuing this deworming program until a pup is 12 weeks of age or is started on a monthly heartworm preventative that also treats hookworms and roundworms. For puppies who have not been dewormed regularly starting from 2 weeks of age, fecal examination to determine their infection status and then appropriate deworming treatments should be performed. Your veterinarian is he best source of information on deworming your puppies and should always be involved in setting up a deworming program.

Dogs have glands at the base of their tails that give off pheremones the tell other dogs their age, sex, and if they are feeling like making friends or not. That is why dogs sniff each other's butts when they meet

For all dogs it's approximately 3 weeks long.

well a puppy is born in a sack which then the mother will chew through it to release her puppy and also the fluid that surrounds it.

Technically, yes, though in an incestuous relationship the dog's grandfather becomes father at conception and is no longer referred to as "grandfather". yes . its is called inbreeding. the dog can father pups and then be mated with one of its pups. wen the female dog gives birth to a litter of pups the stud dog ( the dog the female has breeded with ) is the father of the pups and also the grandfather

It really depends on the dog but I would a lighted mach ! That is what I gave my dog. You can buy them at Pets plus!

Depemds - could start from 7 months and could be 1.5 yrs.

The mother will choose the best place she thinks is the best place. Usually if you make a bed for her in a quiet area where no other animals really come in contact with her she will normally choose where you lead her if it is safe. Just make sure she has enough space to stretch out in every direction and she can jump or walk out of her bed any time she wants. Make sure she has access to food and fresh water at all times.

Pets have been proven to lower blood pressure so yes.

Because most "puppy mills" are illegal it would be difficult to hazard a guess but because there is a demand for certain breeds of dogs and the market for these pups is lucrative there are far too many.

Puppies need to be vaccinated against parvovirus and distemper; in the United States these two diseases are often combined with adenovirus, parainfluenza virus and hepatitis into one 5-way combo vaccine. Puppies also need to be vaccinated against rabies.

I don't know for sure. But when I was young my Dad said NEVER feed chicken bones to a Chichihuahua. These bones splinter easily and can damage his throat. That may be also true for TURKEY bones. If you plan to feed your left-over Turkey to a small dog---or any dog---you better wait for an Expert to advise you on that.

Most puppies/dogs have wet noses and sometimes they get dry but not for long wet noses are a good sign

Puppies that are removed from their mother and littermates too early tend to be nervous, more prone to barking and biting, and less responsive to discipline. Often they are aggressive with other dogs. Generally speaking, a puppy taken away from it's mother and litter mates before seven weeks of age, may not realize its full potential as a dog and companion. To maximize the mental and psychological development of puppies, they must remain in the nest with their mother and litter mates until they are a minimum of seven weeks of age, it's even better if the puppy can be re-homed at eight weeks.

Believe it or not, you can milk the teets like a cow. I had to do this for my cat. I only did when I could tell they were causing discomfort. Eventually, it'll just leak out and dry up on its own.

We have a miniature dachshund and sometimes she shivers when she is cold. She loves to burrow under blankets and be kept really warm. She also likes to lay in front of a heat vent in the winter and finds sun to lay in during spring/summer.

These animals tend to like warmer temperatures than humans and the smaller they are the more this is so. Blankets and hugs work wonders. A puppy also may not have grown into it's dachshund-super-courage yet and my shiver when scared as dogs of other breeds tend to do.

I have seen stud fees from 100 dollars to 10,000 dollars. Most fees are usually around 350 dollars.

The length of a female dog's heat varies, but is generally around three weeks. She is not receptive to mating during the first week or so, which is usually when the most spotting of blood occurs. Males will show interest in her throughout her heat, both when she is receptive and not.
