How to Breed Toy Poodles
If you want to start breeding toy poodles, you should learn about the toy poodle first. They are small and cute but are very high-strung dogs that tend to bark quite a bit. They are also intelligent dogs and make great pets. Breeding toy poodles will be a lot of hard work, but you can learn how in a few short steps.
Things you'll need:
- Papers for female toy poodle and the stud
- Shelter for the dogs
- Veterinarian
- Blankets and toys
- Dog food and water
- Get your home ready first. Make sure you have a good veterinarian that will be able to look at the puppies when it is time. Have the female dog checked out to make sure she is healthy. Plan on where you will keep the puppies when they are born. Make sure you have plenty of room. Purchase soft blankets and toys for the puppies. Purchase several dog bowls for food and water, when it is time for them to eat on their own.
- Make sure the female toy poodle is ready. Watch her and wait until you see a clear discharge followed by some bleeding. Wait 10 days after this and then bring her the stud. Your female dog will go into heat two times a year, and it is best to wait until the second heat.
- Stay close to the dogs once you bring in the stud, and make sure the female doesn’t get too aggressive. You may have to hold her head if she does. Allow the dogs to mate, and when they are finished they will separate on their own.
- Look at the puppies when they are born. Make sure a veterinarian is aware of your dog’s pregnancy in case she will need a cesarean section. Your dog can have anywhere from one to eight toy poodle puppies.
- Advertise for buyers when the puppies reach at least nine weeks old. Do not sell them before this, as they need milk from their mother up until this age.
