Breeder Breeding
What It Takes to Breed Hunting Dogs
Purely for the love of the breed! This is the primary reason that people become breeders. Though most purebred dogs do fetch a good price, the breeders aren’t in it for the money. For any breed of dog, breeding requires years of commitment, a wealth of resources, and a great deal of research. Hunting dogs have specific needs that other breeds may not have.
While a show quality dog should have certain physical characteristics like a head that is in proportion to their body or a straight tail, a good hunting dog also has characteristics that are important – they have a certain temperament that allows them to be trained, are suited for hunting and they are not jumpy or nervous around gunshots. Everyone understands that a dog that is bred as a ‘pet’ really needs only one quality – the willingness to play well with others. Hunting dogs do not always make good pets, though certainly most hunting dogs are good pets as they love being around people.
Show-quality dogs are hard to come by. In a litter of pups where both parents are of show-quality, you may get one or two that are also show-quality. In a litter where the parents are not quite show-quality, only one of the pups may be show-quality if you’re very lucky. The only certainty is that all of the pups will make great pets, and some of them will be excellent hunters too.
{Because show-quality dogs are so rare, it is important that their pedigree be kept in order. If your dogs do not have papers, you’re not going to get the same price for them as you would if they were. If you are a good trainer as well as a breeder, you may be able to get a high price either way. Fine-tuned instincts, fearlessness, a sense of adventure, and a desire to please are all traits of a prized hunter.}
A clear pedigree is not the only requirement. Both parents must have all the qualities you want in your pups. If you own a bitch, be sure the father has everything you’re looking for. If he is difficult to find, artificial insemination and many breeding services can offer alternatives. But however it happens, the big day will arrive when the puppies are born.
While it is unlikely that you will have any problems, it is always a good idea to have a vet on call or even another dog handler who has had experience in the birthing process. Typically, the mom is likely to take care of herself – you on the other hand may need some reassurance or even some assistance. If the bitch does not begin caring for her pups immediately, you may have to take action and it is helpful to have someone who is knowledgeable on hand.
All puppies should be fully weaned before they are sold. Most feel that the ideal time is about eight weeks, and of course at that time they should also have begun having their shots. Since the ideal time for training a hunting dog is about four months old, you want to make sure that they have found their human companion by this time. Almost all hunting dogs are fully trained by the time they are a year old.
It is easy to become attached to the dogs you have bred, but it’s not always easy to sell them. Who you sell them to is your business. You have every right to deny a sale for whatever the reason. Every dog deserves a good home, even if it’s not show-quality or won’t make a good hunter. The love you have for the breed is the reason you decided to become a breeder in the first place.
Hunting dogs are a lot of fun and great pets, but you have to make sure you have all the proper training supplies. some great products out there, include Garmin Astro 220 tracking collars and Innotek 1000 Dog Training Collars.
