Dog Breeding - Understanding The Pros And Cons
The excerpt below is from an article series on how to breed your dog:
Most of the cons or negatives to breeding your dog have to do with health concerns and issues with both the female and the puppies. Remember that there is no guarantee, no matter how healthy the female and male are, that there will not be issues during pregnancy, whelping, or even with the puppies themselves.
Female dogs that have had a litter of pups are more likely to develop breast and ovarian cancers, as well as bladder control problems and even reproductive system infections that can be fatal. Some breeds are also prone to difficulties in whelping, giving birth to puppies, and may need veterinary assistance to have the litter. Without constant supervision these females can actually have huge complications during delivery that can result in death.
