Introduction to the relevant knowledge about dog breeding and reproduction (dog breeding methods)
The entire process of dog breeding is divided into: dog breeding in estrus, bitch becomes pregnant, and bitch gives birth. Dogs like multiple births, and the number of puppies that bitches will be around 3-5. Each breeding can add more members to the entire dog family. The following is a related knowledge about dog breeding and reproduction.
1. Breeding in estrus
1. When the dog is in estrus, parents know that the dog needs to be bred. Bitches usually start to estrus from 6 months to 1 year old. At this time, the owner needs to select the mating male dog in advance and raise the male dog together during the estrus so that they can get familiar with each other and successfully complete the entire breeding process.

2. During the breeding process of dogs, pay attention to the quietness of the surrounding environment to avoid artificial interference that hinders the breeding of the dog. While ensuring the surrounding environment is quiet, the owner also needs to stay quietly aside. When dogs have difficulty bride or the bitch is emotionally excited, they can provide timely help and soothe their emotions.
2. Pregnancy period
1. About one week after the dog successfully mating, the dog begins to have pregnancy reactions. If you observe carefully, you will find that the dog’s vagina will contract, lose appetite, and vomiting. After one month of pregnancy, the dog's breasts protrude, the breasts begin to grow bigger, and the nipples are also pink. At this time, it can be determined that the dog is indeed pregnant. If the owner is worried, he can take the dog to have a detailed physical examination. The time for a bitch to get pregnant is calculated based on the time of mating, usually around 63 days.
2. The dog's appetite will increase after pregnancy, usually about 1-3 times the usual diet. When the bitch is about one and a half months pregnant, the dog's appetite should increase by 30%-50%. Eat dogs every day according to the principle of eating less and eating more meals. Each time the food is mainly rich in protein, vitamins, high in calcium and minerals. You must also prepare enough fresh water for your dog to drink every day.
3. Dogs during pregnancy will become lazy, especially not active, and like to hide in their own doghouse. At this time, the owner needs to take the dog to do some simple exercises, and can go out to bask in the sun and take a walk in the park. Remember not to let the dog roll and jump violently to avoid harm to the fetus.
3. Delivery period
Dogs can generally complete the entire production process alone. During delivery, they need to prepare a clean and comfortable place for the dogs, so as not to disturb the dogs who are giving birth. When the dog gives birth, the owner should stay aside and prepare scissors, towels, warm water and other products for the dog. When the dog has difficulty giving birth, he can help the dog with midnight in time.
If the dog is helped to complete the delivery process, you should contact the veterinarian in time or send the dog to a pet hospital to ensure the safety of the bitch and puppy.
