Choosing dogs to breed

by Yemi B. Programmer When it comes to dog breeding choosing the right dogs to breed to one another involves a lot of research and gathering a great deal of information. The breeder should consider both the male’s and the female’s history, conformation, temperament, breed type, health and possible medical concerns. Additional considerations include behavioral traits, physical soundness and an evaluation of reproductive organs and systems.

Dogs that display any type of behavioral abnormalities, such as excessive shyness, aggression towards dogs or people, tendency to bite, separation anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorders, probably should not be bred. These behavioral traits may have a genetic component and may be passed on to subsequent generations.

Anyone interested in breeding purebred dogs should familiarize themselves with the specific standards for the breed that they are considering breeding (through the American Kennel Club, the Canadian Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club, etc.) to make sure that the male and female conform to the breed standards as recognized and approved by those organizations. Registered purebred dogs must meet physical and temperament standards, and dogs that do not meet these standards should not be bred.
