A lot of dog owners these days started breeding without definite plans in the future for the puppies. Some of them bred dogs because their relatives and friends wanted to take one of the pups; but what if no one took the pups? What will you do?

Dog placing is vital because you can’t possibly take care of all the puppies once they grow up right? Well, if you’re that rich, you may be able to give the puppies a decent home. What if you can’t?

On the pups’ sixth week, dog breeders are already preparing for the placing of their pups. Six puppies are too much to handle and it can ruin your home if you leave them unattended. At this age, the puppies are curious and they prefer to wander around and explore their surroundings. This is the best time for socialization. As a dog breeder, it is your responsibility to provide them enough space for exploration and socialization but at the same time, you need to ensure their safety.

On the seventh to eight week of the puppies, you can already start looking for potential buyers or new owners. At this age, pups are more comfortable in dealing with other people. However, in the case of insecure pups, you need to give them more time. Did you take your pups for temperament tests? So what’s the result?

Placing pups in their new homes entails a lot of legwork. You need to ensure that their new owners are responsible enough to care for your pups. It’s also not a good idea to sell the puppies at the very first customers that pass by. There are even times when you need to consider selling the pups somewhere else and not just in your area. You need to ensure that the pups won’t end up in animal shelters. What if a buyer returned the pup? What will you do? Can you afford to keep the extra pups as additional pets? All these questions should be answered before you started dog breeding.

When a potential buyer approaches you, you should conduct a bit of background check. Try to check what kind of work they do, how many kids they have, where they live, if they pets at home, and other related things. If you want, you can create a questionnaire for them to answer or you can interview them personally. It’s very important that you get a glimpse of the life of the buyer so that you can at least tell if the new owner can handle the responsibility of taking care of the pup.

Once you checked the background of the buyer, you can now decide to sell the pup. The papers should be prepared especially the license of the pups. Make sure that you submitted the registrations of the pups early on so that by the time you sell the puppies, the registration papers are ready to go.

If the rest of the pups are not sold, you can give it as a gift to love one. You can also ask your relatives if they are willing to care for a new dog. If you still end up with the rest of the pups, you will need to care for them until they grow up. Who knows? The dogs might be good for breeding more puppies.

After your bitch gives birth to puppies, it is now time to care for them. Puppy care is not as easy as it looks. It entails a lot of responsibilities that you need to attend to as a breeder. Dog breeding does not end when your female dog gets pregnant; it is only the beginning.

For the pre whelping preparation, you should have a proper-sized box that is clean and sturdy. Try to incorporate some sort of ‘pig rail’ so that the mother dog won’t smash or lay on the puppies. The female should be able to move freely from one position to another inside the box but it should not be too big because the puppies might get lost in the box’s unused portions. Use a box that is more or less 6 inches longer and a foot wider from the sides of the bitch.

After you’ve chosen a whelping box, get clean plastic and newspapers. Arrange them in layers. First, put a sheet of plastic and on top, place several sheets of newspaper; place another plastic and several newspapers. Make 4-5 layers of plastic and newspaper. When you’re dog is placed inside the whelping box together with her puppies, you will simply roll-off the messy layer of newspaper and plastic. Dispose of it properly and you will instantly have another clean layer of paper and plastic.

Breeders have their own preference when it comes to preparing the whelping box. Some don’t like using newspapers and plastic because the puppies get dirty due to the feces and prints. There are those who use synthetic materials and they place it on top of the absorbent materials. Other breeders prefer to use about 6 inches deep of pine shavings. Well, no matter what you put inside the whelping box, you will still need to ensure that everything is clean from time to time. Get rid of any feces you see inside the box.

Newborn pups should always be kept comfortable and warm. You need to ensure that the temperature inside the whelping box is around 90 degrees Fahrenheit; then you need to decrease it about 2 degrees in the succeeding days. If the puppy chilled, don’t attempt to feed it. If you see any chilled puppy, keep it warm by tucking it under your shirt or even your armpit; you can also put it in a separate whelping box with a heating pad. Put a towel over the chilled puppy but you need to ensure that the temperature is not too high. Observe at the actions of the pups. When they are cold, they cry and clump together. When it’s too hot, the pups separate and try to finds a shade.

If the female gives birth to a lot of puppies, you should prepare supplemental feeding to ensure that all pups survive. You can also arrange shifts for the feeding time of the pups. Purchase a milk supplement for puppies. You can also consult milk recipes and don’t forget to get feeding bottles. However, if the pups won’t suckle, you need to tube-feed them.

Caring for pups requires time and effort especially of you have a large litter of them. Make sure that you know a lot of information about puppy care so that they can survive the most critical times of their life. Help your bitch in caring for her pups.
