Which dog breeds are not suitable for home breeding

Livestock Farming 0 views
Among the many pet dogs, some breeds are very prone to dystocia (difficult birth) when breeding. The more purebred the dog, the greater the chance of dystocia; small breeds such as the Poodle, Dachshund, Shih Tzu, Spanish Spaniel, and Chihuahua are especially prone to dystocia. Because these dogs have been artificially modified, their bones have become smaller and their pelvic cavity narrower, so dystocia is relatively easy to occur. In addition, some dogs such as the English Bulldog and the Italian Mastiff (Neapolitan Mastiff) also frequently experience dystocia because their heads are relatively large.

In addition, some dogs such as the English Bulldog and the Italian Mastiff (Neapolitan Mastiff) also frequently experience dystocia because their heads are relatively large. For home-kept dogs prone to dystocia, it is best to avoid breeding them yourself, because if a dog experiences dystocia and it is not handled properly, it can very easily endanger the lives of both the mother dog and the fetuses. Therefore, it is suggested that everyone, even if you want to breed your own dog, must consult experienced professionals; before the mother dog gives birth, you must do sufficient preparation work and contact a veterinarian just in case.
