Breeding and pregnancy advice please x

Hi please would u mind taking a minute and answer if u can. my bitch rottie is in season and we tried to breed her. went to the vet because could smell a funny smell coming from her and also asked about my dogs vulva as it doesn't come out and found out she is misformed. before this we had tried breeding her but couldn't because her vulva which is how I niticed it wasn't right. we did a dog insemination with the other dog. had any one had an a.i work for them and when did they start to notice if there dog was pregnant? Thanx for raking time to read. sorry its so long x

How old is your bitch?

Has she been hip and elbow scored and tested for dermoid sinus?

Also has she been jabbed against Canine Herpes?

the latter needs to be done twice, failure to do so can cause fading puppy syndrome.

Different bitches show at different times, even when scanned things can change, pups can be reabsorbed.

No I haven't had her checked. My vet didn't ask anything like that when I told her she had been a.i. x

I am assuming that you have had your bitch artificially inseminated, is there a reason for this rather than using a current stud dog?

The vet is not interested in hip/elbow scores or other health tests but normally breeders are and customers.

Yea her vulva is misformed so the dog can't get in as it don't come out. It's tucked under x

Oh, hopefully this is not hereditary.........

Hopefully. Vet just said she is misformed. It doesnt effect her in any way. Do u no much about a.I? How succesful they are?

now a days most people want dogs that are healthy. you could end up producing unhealthy puppies because you havent had your dog tested for heriditary diseases that could be passed on to puppies.

how do you know the misformed vulva is not heriditary?

i dont mean to be critical but if i had a dog with a fault, i wouldnt breed from them, you arent bettering the breed by doing so.

I didnt no it was misformed thing till i took her to the vet. By that point wad too late. If she isnt pregnant this time were gonna get her spayed. The vet didn't say anything about it bein hereditary. Thanks tho for replying x

How far gone would she be? If a dog can not be mated because of issues, have you thought she may have problems with the birthing part to?
