Ie no patella or other orthopedic conditions ( xrays needed), no tracheal problems, no congenital eye problems, cardiologist cleanance, etc. Both would need to have clean bills of health prior to breeding with normal blood work in addition to Brucella testing. Also the stud should not be breeding females back to back exposing him and then your female to diseases. You will need a stud contract between you and the studs owner.
You said she was in good shape when you go her. Do you know anything about her background ie where she came from originally.
I breed my Cozy- She is an over standard female (10 pounds) to a 3 pound male for her 2nd litter. She had 5 pups- 4 females and 1 male. She almost needed to have c- section and the vet told me to not breed her again because of this. The females were completely healthy but the male had a cleft palate. He unfortunately died after 3 weeks with 24/7 care and vet bills. There was no cleft puppies previously on mom or dad's side. Dad was also neutered due to this. |
