about raising a litter

Question
I have raised a Boston Terrier female to little over a year,.
I would like to breed her, when is this a good time and what is involved and finding a good stud.

Answer
Your bitch has a good pedigree with many champions who are also sound of mind, body, health and longevity. She has tested clear of all indigenous inherited problems and is herself sound of mind, body and health. She has correct conformation with no major or disqualifying faults and is outstanding in at least a couple of conformation traits.
You wish to improve the breed and select a stud that is her equal or better in all of the above listed traits and who does not share any common faults with your bitch.
You have a better than good chance to place each pup in the home that is right for it.
You have the funds to properly care for and raise the litter and to handle any unforeseen emergencies that may arise.
You have the facilities and finances to properly house and care for a bitch and a large litter even if the puppies are still residents at 6 months of age.
You have the knowledge and integrity to properly evaluate your litter and will stand behind every sale with some type of health and temperament guarantee.
You are not only willing, but insist in writing in the contract, that if, for any reason the pup cannot be kept (at whatever age) you will take it back or assist in finding the right home.
If you can honestly say that all the above is true, then read on. We need breeders like you.





BREEDING A MALE


It takes two to tango and males are as responsible for litters as are the bitches. Pet male Danes should be neutered. Period! This is an issue that more commonly is a problem for a male human owner than us ladies! Many men have this thing which causes them to think that their dog will be somehow less macho if he's been neutered. For some reason that I do not understand (probably because I'm a woman) this is a real problem for them. I'm here to tell you, gentlemen, that truly this IS YOUR PROBLEM, not your dog's!

First, as for a pet bitch, a pet male should not be bred and for all the same reasons. If he is not to be bred, he should be altered. He should be altered to reduce the chance for testicular or prostrate cancer. He should be altered to prevent him from being upset and stressed if a neighborhood bitch is in season. A male will smell this from far away! He should be altered so that he will never be responsible for a litter when someone is careless, leaves the door open and he's off to mate with that in season bitch! HE won't care that he's been altered, he'll be much happier and more content without the stress of overactive hormones that should never be satisfied.
