Does anyone know much about breeding dogs? Back in May i took my dog to a breeder who apparently had lots of exp as did her friend. Anyway come to find out my dog could careless about the female...my dog stayed there for one week and yes the female was more then ready as she kept backing herself onto my dogs face.
My dog was just like whatever. She told me that it's normal to get involved so they practically tryed to make them do it. Two strangers touching my dog.
After i got him back about a month later he starts being aggresive twds other dogs?
He's being neutered next mon and i have found a behaviouist that i think ill hire. But she had told me that whatever happened at the breeder is why he's being aggresive twds other dogs now.
Im so mad! My dog LOVES dogs and loves to run and play and now certain ones he's getting snarley with.
My trainer reasures me that we can correct this behaviour though.
But does this sounds right why he'd all of a sudden tun like that.
Answers:
Yes, it is VERY common for males that have been bred to become more aggressive with other dogs, especially other males. Usually only the top dog in a wild pack would get to breed, so since he has been bred he figures he's better than the others.
if someone was trying to FORCE your dog onto another dog it easily could have scared him. dogs like to do things on their own time and for whatever reason he was not interested in the female. you shouldn't have allowed the breeders to do that. god only knows what they did. they could have hit him or hurt him in some way. this is not common. my grandmother bred dogs my entire life and we never had them be aggressive after wards. the breeders themselves must have harmed the dog.
I usually go to sleep.
Sounds like maybe he got hurt while trying to breed the female... OR in playing with her, she nailed him or something.. Being handled during breeding isn't going to make a dog aggressive.. But the fact that he had been bred, would make him more aggressive to other males.. Breeding tends to give them a big head so to speak.. Since alpha male is the one that breeds, he might be going around telling the other guys just what he has been up to lately.. This is why if you have a pet male, you should neuter him rather than allowing him to learn male behaviours.
I'm not sure they caused it, but bad handling during a prospective breeding certainly didn't help the situation. You didn't say the age of your dog, but aggressive behavior has a tendency to start cropping up around age 1 and continues to worsen as the dog matures. Neutering him ASAP should help. If, it's possible, get it done before next month. Getting the behaviorist/trainer to work with him should help - just make sure he uses firm but non- violent methods. Good luck.
he just didn't have a good experience i guess and remembers all of those dogs. being seperated from you, and strange people poking him around.. Why are you trying to breed a dog- don't you know how many dogs there are that need homes without six more puppies being added to the mix?
I don't think the people made your dog aggressive, it was just time for him to mature and he probably would have soon been aggressive with or without the breeding...
But, if you would have neutered him when he was younger you may have been able to avoid all this. Thank God, you are getting him neutered now and working with a trainer.
Its good that yu dog is being neutered. I don't mean to be offensive but although he has balls and testosterome some dogs are just not that driven to mate. Your dog sound like it may hve been physically hurt by the breeders. I would suggest going to a vet to make sure there is no bruising and prehaps se a behavourist or slowly start intorducing your dog to other dogs as if it was a puppy all over again. start from scratch
More and likely it was the breeders that mistreated her. Breeders don't really care about the animal, all they wont is the puppies so they can make money. And they will tell another person anything if it will gain more money. Sorry for the situation. It sounds like you learned, so try and spread your bad experience with others and maybe they will learn.
First off, the female needs to go to the male's house for breeding. The dog may take a few heats before it understands the process on his own. To force him will frustrate him, he is already in a bind because he is not on his own turf, and he has strangers handling him. This is all bad news. Normally, the new male will greet his ladies at his own house and if they are receptive, they will stand and help him figure out the right end, be patient and he will wear himself out learning, but enjoy himself and want to keep trying. That he wasn't interested is a mirror on how he viewed the whole procedure at that time and his opinion should have mattered and been the bottom line. Dogs are very sensitive and can be trained real quick to not breed, be afraid to breed, or be very hostile and agressive, such as yours. I'm glad to hear you have a trainer to help him, neutering is the best for him at this point as it would be really tough to change his mind on the breeding subject now. He's hating other dogs because he associates them with his frustratingly bad time. Good luck and hopefully, he will have a nice , happy life ahead of him with your care and attention!
This breeder sounds *extremely* shady. Good breeders do not take someone's pet, in this case your dog, and breed their animal to it. It seems like their could be more to this...why did you get involved in this breeding if you know nothing about breeding dogs? Potentially there is now going to be another litter of dogs who will need homes, and another group of sweet dogs will be put to death because someone chose a puppy from the internet or the newspaper or some backyard breeder (sound familiar?) instead of the animal shelter. If you haven't shown your dog in a competition or had extensive genetic tests done, which would ensure that the litter could be excellent, healthy representatives of the breed, then this woman is a backyard breeder and you should have NOTHING to do with her. So now there's more dogs coming into a world with too few homes, and your companion has suffered somehow. Whatever led you to engage in this irresponsible act?! I imagine she paid you for this studding affair...well, I hope pimping out your dog at least got you the money to pay this behaviourist.
Thank you for loving your dog and working with him, and THANK YOU for getting him neutered. I hope that he returns to the companion you knew prior to that woman's assault, and I hope that you will not again contribute to the numbers of animals dying in pounds and shelters.
