Dog Breeding and Mating

Yes. Dogs are a domestic animal so they primarily exist in 'captivity'.

Nope. Just like the babies of all mammals, puppies come from a mating between a dog and a bitch, or put another way, the father dog and the mother dog.

No, I have heard of 5 pound dogs breeding with labs before. It will be fine.

Well, there are many different dogs out there. There are maybe somewhere around 5000+ different dog breeds dog breeds will never stop as long as different dogs breed to make different and amazing breeds!

Correction on the person who answered (which had a very good answer) depends on the animal. Dogs are very social and active animals that eat a lot, so give them a lot of daily attention and remember positive reinforcement is a better outcome than punishment. Always take your dog for walks / send them outside to run out all their pent up energy and they will be just fine. And if dealing with a very emotionally dependent dog like attachment issues don't get annoyed give them love and let them calm down (i deal with this daily with my Husky he was neglected and gets very scared or upset when people leave the house at any moment.) Soon or later they notice you're coming back to feed them, love, and walk them when they need it. (if you're doing so)

This is a theoretical question, right? Use bullets. But if that isn't an option, lay the dog on a cement floor. put a piece of heavy plywood (non-bending) over the dog. You now need to put sufficient pressure on the plywood that the dog's chest cavity cannot expand. Keep it that way for a couple minutes. The dog will be dispatched. BUT this is not humane; I put this answer down for informational purposes only, do not do this. See a vet.

It means that whomever you got your puppy from guarantees the health of the puppy for whatever time is stated on the guarantee. If the puppy becomes ill before the guarantee is expired, you can get whatever relief is offered by the guarantee. A health guarantee means just that. The seller of a puppy is guaranteeing that the puppy is in good health and if it isn't, depending on what the specifics are in the guarantee, the puppy can be returned for a full refund or be replaced with another puppy. There are different agreements in each guarantee. It depends on the seller.

Sometimes the mother dog may not have enough teets to feed her large brood of pups, or, if she refuses to feed the pups she may not be well and a vet should have a look at her. She may have an infection or another problem. There are some female dogs who do not make good mothers and simply refuse to feed their pups. Either the owner has to bottle feed the pups or, if a breeder get another female to feed the pups. The worst breed I've seen recently is some Doberman females who will, for unknown reasons eat her healthy pups. Sometimes females will eat a pup when it is first born if there is something wrong with it, but the Doberman females are different.

To put it bluntly it would effect the health of the dog in exactly the same way it would effect the health of a human women who gave birth to 5 babies every 3 months. Think about it humanely. It isn't fair on the dog.

The largest litter of Corgi puppies was recorded in the UK in 2007, where a Pembroke Welsh Corgi gave birth to a whopping 15 puppies. This was an exceptionally large litter for the breed, as Corgis typically have litters ranging from 4 to 8 puppies on average.

Dogs have strange behavior and some of the traits vary from breed to breed. I own a labrador retriever and I know they are prone to chewing on rocks, love to tear apart aluminum cans and can't resist chewing on a good stick until it's nothing but a pile of toothpicks.

It's probably not good for a puppy to actually eat rocks, but if he's just chewing on them and spitting them out, he'll probably end up breaking off a tooth or two.

Since it's a natural instinct for dogs to chew, try substituting something to chew on as a replacement.

One of the things I do is go to the local butcher shop and buy a few pounds of beef bones (not pork because just like chicken bones, they too can splinter and get lodged in their throats) and boil them up with some salt, pepper and garlic. You can make a batch and freeze 'em for several months, handing them out as needed.

A good 8" long leg bone will keep 'em busy for days as they work the marrow out of the bone. After that, I use it as a throw toy, and leave it laying around for them to chew on, or substitute it with a fresh replacement.

Dogs chew because if they didn't, they could develop soft gums and their teeth could loosen over time. Today's dog food (even the dry) sometimes isn't hard enough to keep their teeth and gums in shape.

Puppy structure? Like a puppy's daily routine? Okay- well a dog can spend up to approximately 10 hours a day in a crate (including it's sleeping time). So that means you can get the puppy up in the morning, take it to the bathroom, feed it breakfast, do some training, take him potty, and then take it wherever you go all day long. I was told to put my dog on a leash, and everywhere I went, he went; but bring toys. Take him potty again, feed him a snack, play with him, take him potty, put in him his crate for a little while so he can sleep and you don't have to watch him. Take him potty, feed him dinner, do some more training and play with him, take him potty again, and then put him in his crate to go to bed; and then get up the next day and start the routine again. You can also get a dog run in your backyard that limits it's freedom so he can entertain himself for a while; but make sure he's got shade, and lots of water.

dogs likes to taste their owners smell so that they feel more secure

and they remember how their moms licked the when they were puppies

It's to get your scent and is a submissive behavior,

There are many reasons for puppies not surviving birth. Mother's don't "let" the puppies die, there isn't anything the mother dog can do about it. Some pups are born with internal problems that aren't apparent. Healthy pups should survive, unhealthy pups shouldn't.

Yes, pomeranian puppies shed hair. Shedding usually occurs during the changing of the seasons.

Yes, Pekingese brother and sister can mate, but the resulting puppies will be inbred and may or may not be healthy.
