Now more and more people are raising dogs. Are you raising male dogs or bitches? Will you sterilize your dog? How much do you know about dog breeding and mating? Let’s learn about it together below!
dogs' first estrus
dogs usually have their first estrus at 8 months old. According to the breed, they will generally be advanced or delayed. Generally speaking, small dogs have earlier estrus than large dogs.
The best mating time for dogs should be after the first estrus, that is, after the dog is one year old, and the body is considered to be completed. It is not recommended to breed the dog for the first time in estrus.
domain time for dogs to mate
domain time between dogs will last about 5-30 minutes, which is considered a relatively long time in the animal world. This is because dogs mating are relatively small, so in order to improve the conception rate, they can only prolong the mating time, which is also the "reproductive strategy" of dogs. During this period, never interrupt the dog casually and let them separate, as this will cause great harm to the dog.
Things to pay attention to before breeding dogs
1. Before mating two dogs, the pet owner should take them for a physical examination to ensure their health before mating. Because dogs are actually a "high-risk behavior", one of which brings viruses or parasites, which will be transmitted to the other dog when mating.
2. If you want the bitch to conceive and give birth smoothly, it is best to choose a male dog smaller than the bitch. Because for example, the Husky male dog and the Chihuahua bitch, even if the Chihuahua is pregnant, it is likely to be difficult to give birth because the fetus is too big, which will endanger the life of the bitch.
3. It is best for pet owners to put two dogs that are only bred in a quiet and comfortable environment. Try not to show up during this period and do not disturb the dog's "work".
dogs' mating methods
1) Free mating: It means that two dogs are naturally connected together during the estrus period, and they are affected by hormones in their bodies, and they are naturally connected and mating freely.
2) artificial insemination : It requires professional equipment and professional technology to complete it. It is generally used to cultivate purebred dogs and new breeds of dogs.
3) Assisted mating: Some dogs have no experience in mating for the first time, or the size of the two dogs is too different, so they need human help to find a location and other assistance.
4) Forced mating: used for male or female dogs who are in the estrus but are unwilling to mating.
