The shoveling officer has the idea of letting his own dog have a litter in the face of someone else's newborn baby dog, hasn't he? However, dog breeding is not a simple matter, and the pet knowledge we need to learn about the shoveling officer's work!
The necessary conditions for dogs to be suitable for breeding
Establish the correct concept of breeding, dogs with hereditary diseases can not mate and breed the next generation. Specifically, there are the following four points that need to be paid attention to by shoveling officials:
1 dogs without breed-specific genetic diseases
Dogs with genetic diseases carry abnormal genes in their bodies, and their puppies are more likely to be sick.
VIPs are susceptible to patellar valgus; large dogs are susceptible to hip dysplasia.
2 dogs without other obvious diseases
Dogs with other obvious diseases also affect the health of their next generation. For example:
(1) Dogs who have been severely infected with Demodex Dermatosis have defective immunity, and the resistance of their puppies will be very low, and they will even carry Demodex at birth.
(2) The conception rate of dogs suffering from reproductive tract diseases will be affected. Only healthy dogs are suitable for breeding.
3 dogs to complete deworming and immunization
Pregnant dogs can no longer be immunized or deworming, because deworming and immunization are a stimulus to pregnant dogs, which may cause miscarriage and stillbirth. Therefore, for dogs with breeding plans, their immunization and deworming work should be completed before mating!
4 dogs are normal.
Obesity will affect the fertility of dogs, obese female dogs are easy to conceive, and obese male dogs have poor sperm motility. Thin dogs will affect pregnancy due to insufficient nutrition, so dogs with standard weight are more suitable for reproduction.
Select the right mating object
Dogs have to wait until they are adults to mate. When choosing "love" for dogs, they should also choose objects of the same breed, non-close relatives and body size.
1 Prohibit underage dogs from mating
Dogs under the age of 1 are not suitable for mating because their bodies are not fully developed.
2 Banning the mating of different breeds of dogs
In order to maintain the inherent good quality and stable genetic characteristics of breed dogs, shoveling excrement officials need to choose dogs of the same breed for mating. Blindly matching breeds will lead to genetic confusion in dogs, resulting in many hidden health problems in newborn dogs, and may also lead to abandonment of newborn dogs because of impure breeds!
3 Banned inbreeding
The so-called close relatives, refers to the dog within four generations have blood relations. Inbreeding can cause many serious adverse consequences, such as the female dog empty pregnancy rate is high, the puppy survival rate is low, the survival ability is reduced, the development is blocked, the body size is small, the disease or the emergence of teratogenesis and stillbirth phenomenon.
4 Prohibit dogs with too much difference in size to mate
If the male dog is much larger than the female dog, their puppy skeleton may also be very large, which will easily lead to the female dog in childbirth, such as dystocia. Therefore, the male and female dogs should not be too different in size.
Pre-pregnancy Notice
Dogs are ready to mate and upgrade to be "parents. As a shoveling officer, we should not only calculate the best date for mating and do a good job of health examination before mating, but also pay extra attention to cultivating the feelings of the two dogs and keeping in mind the matters needing attention in mating.
1 dog estrus cycle and the best mating time
(1) The following table is the dog's estrus cycle table
(2) The best time to breed a dog
The best breeding time for dogs is the 9th to 13th day when the female dog's estrus and bleeding begin, because the female dog is only willing to mate at this time. To ensure conception rate, another copulation may be carried out 48 hours after copulation.
2 Health check before mating
Before mating, the dog should go to the pet hospital for physical examination to check whether the body parts and indicators are normal.
3 Prohibit random mating during estrus
If your female dog is in estrus, the shoveling officer should try to choose a place where there are few or no dogs for walking, and tie the dog to a leash. Because estrus means a dangerous period, if you are not careful, dogs can easily be mismatched by other male dogs.
4 Emotional Cultivation of Dogs
Dogs can allow both parties to meet early before mating and get to know each other first, so that mating will be smoother.
For example, let two dogs play together before and during the female dog's estrus, which cultivates feelings. When the female dog can mate, it will not resist the male dog so much.
5 Mating considerations
(1) The dog should not eat too much before mating to avoid reflex vomiting.
