gem0840 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have a two yr old lab bitch who is in season, and iam hoping to breed from. My question is when the dog mounts does he have to turn. I have a dog that has mounted my bitch twice but both times did'nt turn. Will this be a sucssesful mating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavman Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Gem I have a 2 year old, and both think, and have been advised this is too young to mate, its like a 14 year old girl getting preggers, prob not the best thing for her, may I ask have you consulted your vet? worth a phone call just to be sure good luck Pavman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new to the flock Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 To answer your question it is possible to get a successful breeding without a tye, but only about 1% of the time. Do you know if the male penetrated her? What are your reasons for breeding? Have you bred before? These questions are not meant to offend, I am just wondering if you have bred before?

NTTF Yes he did penetrate the bitch but only for a short time, i have never bred before but have worked dogs and now want to breed. That is a valid reason. However as it is your first time breeding you need to do alot of research before you go ahead. I usually put around 2 years of searching into the male that I want to breed from checking line traits, hereditary defects, temperment, test scores etc. You also need to have a burcellosis test done on your bitch aswell as eye, hip, elbow, (one other one for labs escapes me at the moment) scores to be sure that she is a desireable brood bitch and not a, carrier of herpies. Brucellosis...k9 herpies will kill the puppies and can cause the stud dog to go impotant. Dont settle for a dog that shows these traits as there are clear ones out there. My Coal dog is 100% clear on every test given. However he will continue to be tested yearly if used for breeding to stay 100% sure .

v-max Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hello breeding is a bit work.I breed lab's now & again & if you can a FTCH is a good way forward as these dog's are tryed & tested & info on each is quite easy.Hip score is important & single figuer's best & eye test would be good as people ask now & they are paying quite alot for a pup.I would say 3yrs near or over is ideal age for a litter & fit i aim for i think it give's you time to fill the head with brain's & then suit her to a stud to compliment.
