Breeding a toy breed dog is much more risky then breeding the larger sizes although there is always a danger in any whelp. Toy dogs have very small reproductive organs and tend to need very expensive C-sections more often. Since your dog is ckc it is a pet quality dog that could also be carrying genes that could pass on genetic defects. Pet quality dogs are wonderful pets but they should not be used for breeding. I hope you will reconsider you decision to breed her and get her spayed instead. Any male you find to breed her with would also be pet quality.....just increasing the poor gene pool. I'm sure your dog is adorable so let her be an adorable pet and don't put her though something that would be risky to her and the babies. |
