I am interested in breeding Pomeranians, can I get help?

Start with your local or national breed club or shows and find someone who is already breeding to serve as a mentor.

No offense, but if you don't know what luxating (not fluxating) patella is, you are no whPetrilliere near researched enough. Aside from the fact that it is extremely rare (think odds of winning the lottery) that the two dogs you already have are both breedworthy and suitable mate for each other esp. Considering they were purchased before you decided to breed and were not specifically selected as possible breeding quality.

There is so much you left out about why they are suitable to breed. Being the right age and size is only a small portion of it.

What health testing have you done?

What is their temperament?

How is their conformation?

What titles do they have?

What do you hope to achieve from this breeding?

How do you plan to screen homes?

How do you plan to avoid contributing to the pet overpopulation?

The best breeders not only see what the positive attributes in their dogs are, but what their weaknesses are as well. They choose suitable mates to strengthen those. Can you objectively evaluate your dogs?

As someone else said, if you want to breed, go ahead, but do it right.

So what has changed in the last two years from the last time you asked and were not happy with the reception your question got?

As two others have said do you know what they ODDS are of two dogs from not so great breeders not only being breeding material BUT also a good match in that they balance each other's faults?

Have you bothered to get EITHER dog evaluated by an experienced breeder or show judge for poms? You say your male is 3lbs over your female in weight. That means she's either REALLY small(any dog under 4 lbs shouldn't be bred) and he's at the top of the breed standard; she's in the middle and he's at the top of the standard OR one or both are over the standard of 7lbs.

Good bloodlines? Yeah right. You got your male at 7 weeks. Good breeders of small breeds NEVER let a pup go that early. Hell most don't rehome before 8-10 weeks of age.

Reading only gets you so far. Do you have ANY experience with mating, pregnancy and whelping? Have you drafted your health guarantee and contract? And considering two years ago you planned on these pups going to friends and family you will STILL need these.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you DID get the health clearances done. Good for you.

Ask yourself this - why do you want to breed? What makes these two such a good pairing? What do you plan to accomplish from this? If its just so you can have pups and provide your friends and fam with pets then find a new hobby.

I hate to put people off doing this because everybody who wants to get into breeding, has to start somewhere. BUT, the likelihood that your two pets are going to be right for each other is extremely remote. In other words, most people who want to go breeding, will find the best quality b itch they can persuade a good breeder to part with, show her, get some good wins under her belt (to prove she is as good as hoped), and then go back to that breeder for advice about which stud dog would be best for her, one that's not going to be doubling up on the same faults - and they all have faults!!

So even if you don't go showing, get these two evaluated by somebody who knows the breed before you mate them together. It could be that they will be okay together, but it's far more likely that another outside stud would be better for your b itch, assuming she is of sufficient quality to begin with.

Poms are a dime a dozen right now with far too many people just putting Dog A to B itch B, and coming up with some horrendous results.

And at the end of the day, every time a b itch is put in whelp, she risks her life. And once your male has been used at stud, he'll be looking for the next one, including your b itch, so she'll have to be spayed after this litter (if not before!!!) or you'll have a nightmare on your hands with him kicking off, not eating, losing condition etc.etc.

By all means get into breeding if that's what you want - but DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.

ps It's luxating patella btw.

Are you sure you want to go into breeding?

Breeding is a process which requires a lot of time and patience, including pain and suffering.

Are you prepared to take your pregnant female and puppies to the vet at unearthly hours in case anything happens? Are you willing to nurse sickly babies round the clock? Are you ready to give up your once happy female or her spunky puppies if something happens to them?

You should also take a look at the animal shelter and rescue group in your area. There are so many dogs and puppies there who are homeless and need loving families to take care of them. Are you willing to take the responsibility that perhaps one of your puppies will end up in these places?

However, if you are still eager to go into breeding, you should look for a mentor to help you. Research online for an experienced breeder who has a good reputation and ask him or her to advise you. Your dogs should be elbow, hip, and eye tested before you should ever consider breeding them.

Please do not consider breeding if you aren't prepared for a lot of heart aches. Pregnant females sometimes die when giving birth, and there are many litters of puppies which I know that couldn't make it through their first few days.

Good luck!

give him cross with other breed. or give him sex with some of ur friends poms dogs or neighbour poms dogs.
