Thinking of Breeding Your Pomeranian?
Do you want to breed your Pomeranian? Even though a Pomeranian is a small and fragile dog, it is perfectly fine to breed her if she is healthy and meets the quidelines of being ready. It is natural for Pomeranians to breed, how else could we have these wonderful dogs.
You will want to know how to know it is the right time, how to actually make two dogs breed if they the female does not seem interested and how to find another Pomeranian to be your Pom's mate.
Is It Time? What do you do when your female Pomeranian just does not seem interested in the male? You can help your dog breed. This type of issue can most definitely be resolved. As we are sure you know, male dogs and female dogs are as different as day and night when it comes to breeding. There are a few things to keep in mind regarding your Pomeranian. Male dogs will breed absolutely at any time. A female, of course will only breed when in heat. A female dog will go into heat twice a year. However, there is a big misconception regarding this: Once showing the signs of heat, the dog will most likely not immediately breed the first day. For some dogs it is over 2 weeks after the signs! The average time to allow for breeding is anywhere between 1 and 17 days. Every dog is different. The good news is that every dog has a pattern.
Finding a good good match for your Pomeranian is important when you want to breed your Pomeranian. Also, make sure your Pomeranian is ready and able to breed:
Weight: It is okay if the female weighs more than the male; however the male Pomeranian should never weight more than 3 pounds (1.36 kilograms) over the weight of the female Pomeranian. Please note: Taking two very small "runt" Pomeranians and breeding them together to produce unnaturally small Pomeranians is unethical at best and evil at worst. Any puppies born will have huge risks of major health problems.
More about health issues
Age: How old should your Pomeranian be when you breed him or her? A female Pomeranian should stop breeding when she is 7 years old. She can continue to enter heat until she is 12 years old or so, but the breeding should stop when she is 7. As soon as you know that you will not breed your Pomeranian anymore, you should have her spayed. This is very important to her health.
Health: It should go without saying that you should make sure your Pomeranian is healthy before attempting to breed her. She should have a complete check up at the veterinarian and get the "okay" to have Pomeranian puppies.
How often? How often can you allow your female Pomeranian to breed? Your Pomeranian can have pups several times; however you should allow your female Pomeranian to rest and heal between having puppies. To be a good Pomeranian owner, allow her 2 to 3 years in between having puppies. She should not have more than a total of 2 litters of puppies. It is best for your female Pomeranian if she only has 1 litter.
Problems
Once you figure out what your Pomeranian's pattern is, you will know exactly which days she is ready. In addition, a female dog does not always want to mate. It is normal. This dog breeding tip may help: When she is in full heat, put the male in the room with her. Stay by her side and rub her stomach and back. When she seems completely relaxed, then allow the male to make his attempt. Keeping the above information in mind, just be patient with your Pomeranian. Once you realize the exact real days of her full heat, she is alike to a human when it comes to the rest. She is choosy about who she wishes to mate with! Keep in mind a female Pomeranian should not be made to breed after the age of 7 years. Once you know you do not wish to breed your Pomeranian any more, you should have her spayed. A Pomeranian that is not spayed in her later years of life may have severe complications of the uterus, it may even turn fatal.
Finding A Dog to Breed With Your Pomeranian
If you have a friend or relative who has a full bred Pomeranian, this is certainly your easiest choice. However, just as they say that you should not lend money to a friend because it can cause problems down the line, think carefully about breeding your dog with your friend's dog. A written agreement must be signed notarized stating how you will share the litter (the litter will be 1-3 dogs), what you will do if only 1 Pomeranian puppy is born, who will be in charge of keeping the puppy or puppies until they are old enough to leave the litter and who will careful guide the Pomeranian pups through the weaning process.
