Just breed my white shepherd, new to this

cowgirlc · 03-16-2011, 10:03 AM

Hello everyone, I have a six year old white shepherd and I just had her breed with a a black and tan male. This will be a first for me so I want to make sure I am doing everything right for her during the pregnancy and after. I understand that she will deliver the pups in about 65 days. She was breed on the 14th of march, should I wait about 5 days before taking her to the vet for a blood test to confirm the pregnancy? By the way I am not trying to become a breeder, my hubby and I inherited this white shepherd from a friend who could no longer take care of her time wise. As for the pups, they are all spoken for depending on how many are in the litter, hubby and I will keep a male and then the rest are going to loving homes of people we know are dog lovers. We have no desire to make money from the litter. So any advise from you guys would be great. I just want to make sure that Black (sorry, that is the name of my white shepherd) is well taken care of and comfortable and make sure I have everything I need to care for the pups as well.

Thank you all very much.

Cynthia

This is her first litter and she is 6 years old? Correct?

Ugh! More purely bred puppies

Why breed her? 1.) She is white 2.) She has an iffy temperament and I bet no titles 3.) She most likely does not have her hips/elbows certified 4.) I bet that the male is the same 5.) No need!

Just because you have an intact female and a connection to a knucklehead intact male doesn't mean you should produce puppies. Great that they all have homes now but where will they be in 6 months or a year?

Oh dear.

Out of curiosity why would you breed a submissive dog? Nerve issues are most often genetic not to mention with no health testing or hip certs. you have no clue whether or not you just helped create future sick unhealthy animals, or animals with weak nerves and fear issues. I'm sure your intentions were good but did you bother to research breeding before allowing some random male access to your bitch? Has he had any health testing done?

I hope the pregnancy did not take and you take the time to understand people who do what you have done are the reason we have so many health and temperament issues in shepherds today. This used to be a breed with solid nerves and unwaivering bravery with few health problems- now what?

If you are serious about being a breeder and you want to be a reputable one that people respect, then I am all for it and I will wish you luck and applaud you for it.

But if you just want puppies because your dog looks good, or you think your dog has a good temperment or because you want to make money off of them or if you are producing puppies because your friends and family want a puppy then I have no respect for you or what you are doing.

So did you OFA your pregnant bitch? Does she have any titles? What's her pedigree? What will she bring to the GSD breed?

I hope your female doesn't die due to complications, because that does happen sometimes.
