Hi,

Both dogs are health checked? You have homes already set up for the forthcoming pups? Why do you need a second vet? Are you not happy with the advice given by your first vet? When did your bitch come into season? Did you obtain any info about mating before you allowed your dogs to mate? Have you done your research on whelping bitches? Are you aware of the risks and things that can go wrong?
How old are your dogs? Is your dog a proven stud dog?

I take it you're not a recognised breder, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this. So what are your reasons for having a litter at this particular time? (Particularly as so many dogs in rescue are waiting for new homes)

People will be able to help you better the more info you can give about your dogs.

yes both dogs have been checked and ive got homes for pups if she is pregnant.. ive had my male since puppy and i got female wen she was bout year old.. but im new to breeding.. i only will breed her once then get her done ,.. she been in season bout 2 weeks now .. and she has been mated quite few times and tied,... but she still bleeding. and the vet didnt seem to help full. he just said wait and see .. ... and i see alot on here bout breeding so i thought this would be good place to ask ... is the bleeding normal or if she has fallen pregnant would bleeding stop? and she ? still wanting the male so does that mean she still fertile ? thanks mandy...

Personally, I wouldn't allow more than a couple of ties to take place. It's not necessary and one of them could end up getting hurt. As for the bleeding, I don't think this is an indication that she is not pregnant at all. Some bitches bleed longer than others. I think that was what you were asking but not sure........

I don't mean to be rude at all but, from your post, it appears you have a lot to learn. That's fine but please make sure you read everything you possibly can beforehand and it is always a very good idea to have a Mentor available 24/7 for help/advice. Delivering pups can be very scary if it is your first time

Hi,

Are you breeding your bitch purely because your family are wanting pups?
Yuo say you are new to breeding but it seems you haven't read up much on the info that is available an deasily accessible. You also say uyou nly wish to breed her once then have her done (spayed ??) - so what are your reasons for breeding her at all?
Are you going to use your male as a stud dog after this litter?

I'm curious as there are thousands of staffies, young pups as well as older dogs who need homes. Why can't your family approach the relevant rescues to find suitable dogs instead of producing more?

To be that defensive then clearly you're not convinced that you're doing the right thing.

It was a simple enoug question. Funny how you're so defensive!

If you wish to become a responsible and reputable breeder then why are you only breeding your bitch once? Are you going to buy any more dogs for breeding? Or is this a one off, get rich quick scheme?

Maybe you should've done your research BEFORE trying to mate your dogs. There are peope who are experienced in mating dogs and you wouldn't have to put them together every day (or as often as you're allowing them to mate).

By breeding a litter of pups (particularly when you DON'T know what youre doing) means that whatever hmes those pups go to, are not going to take in SBT puppies frmo rescues. meaning that yes, you are helping to make dogs homeless.

I work for a small local dog rescue and we've recently rehomed a 3 month old SBT pup. Just goes to show doesn't it?!

I'm sorry you feel that way but, to be honest, your posts do come across as if you are not taking this mating seriously (as any mating should be - there is an awful lot of responsibility that goes along with breeding any dog).

You may not like my advice (or want it) but from what you've said, you are breeding this litter purely for your family. In that case, you could have done yourself a favour (and your girl) and found a good breeder that could provide your family with pups.

Breeding can be a wonderful experience. However, it can also break your heart and make you a nervous wreck! If you are only intending on breeding the one litter for family, it really isn't worth it - honestly! Without a Mentor (with years of experience in your breed) to call on 24/7 for help/advice, it's crazy to consider breeding. That's the truth!

From what you've said, your girl is highly likely to be pregnant. If I were you, I'd go about getting a Mentor asap!!! Good luck. I hope everything turns out okay for your girl and any pups she may have.
