The mating of the toy terrier: what should the owner know?

Knitting a toy terrier - a responsible event andreally very serious, in which every little thing matters. Experienced dog breeders know that giving birth to small breeds is more difficult than to dogs of larger ones (according to statistics, they are often protracted, with complications, with a caesarean section, with the death of a puppy or several puppies, etc.).

About caesarean section, I would like to say separately.When giving birth to dogs of breeds such as bulldogs (English, French) and toy terriers, caesarean section is often required, which, in turn, sometimes leads to mutually flowing problems, in particular, pyometra (inflammation, which can even end with the removal of the uterus) . The need for caesarean section is explained by relatively large fruits, and in the above breeds, puppies have large heads, and this is another additional complicating factor.

Therefore, mating a toy terrier should carefullythink through and plan ahead. And it is necessary to take into account not only the expert assessments of future parents, but also the quality of the litters received from their relatives (or this pair), and individual characteristics. And sometimes it is better to always bind. For example, a girl who weighs less than 1900 g almost always gives birth very hard, therefore the risk of losing a dog due to childbirth is extremely high. If you are the owner of a toy mini, think before viscous - is the risk justified? After all, the percentage of successful, happy outcomes, alas, is very small.

So, a toy terrier girl for mating should weigh more than 1900 g and have a good rating from an expert. The exterior of a dog can only be characterized perfectly (with a lower score you cannot knit).

Knitting toy terrier dogs should always begin with the preparation of:

1. Search for a pair. Of course, in advance.You should consider several candidates and find the most suitable one. The owner of the bitch is obliged to think about a double dog, not inferior in characteristics to the applicant number 1. In the event that a mating toy terrier fell, you will have a fallback. The nominations will be reviewed by the head of your dog unit, and only then will you receive permission (referral) for mating.

2. Agree with the owner of the stud to pay for mating. Do it in advance. The result of your agreement be sure to record on paper, securing it with signatures.

3. Enlist the support of a professional who really knows what a toy terrier is (usually the instructor is provided by the owner of a dog, therefore discuss this issue in advance).

The dog does not always cover the bitch immediately, thereforeafter 5 (maximum - 10) minutes the dog is taken away for a breather. Then fail again. The excitement of the dog can be increased joyful tone, stroking, light approving clapping. Knit better on the table, ideally - on the territory of a dog.

If the dog is not very experienced or even fitFor the first time, in no case should you show disappointment. The dog feels discontent. It should, on the contrary, praise the dog, and praise actively, for each attempt. A skillful instructor can in time put the bitch so that the dog quickly fell into the loop.

It is necessary to ensure that dogs standing inthe castle, did not try to break it, otherwise the genitals (both male and bitch) could be injured. The behavior of dogs when mating is quite diverse: some gnash their teeth, others tremble, others growl or whine. The position of the dogs during the castle is unimportant. Ideally, it is better to throw only one paw of a dog, without unfolding it (some bitches respond to the spread rather painfully), and both dogs will be able to stand on all legs.

A successful mating toy terrier ends with the birth of charming puppies toychikov. Litters are almost always small: a bitch leads from one to three babies.
