You put them in a heart-shaped kennel, put on some Manilow...
simple.
I don’t know anything about dog breeding but it seems to me that Teddy will figure it but I think the bitch must be in heat.
Looks like a typical Young Golden to me. I’d say find him a suitable female who is ready, put them in the yard together and let nature takes it course. I don’t think dogs need sex education, just a time, a place and a suitable partner.
He’ll figure it out even if you can’t. ;<)
He is hyperactive, because he is still a puppy.
He might be close to his full height, but he still has a lot of filling out to do. Most dog breeds are considered a puppy until a year old. However, there is some variation in time for different breeds. Some breeds don’t fully mature until 18 months.
Most males can be bred as soon as 6 months. Although, it won’t calm him down.
Just put him in a kennel with a female in heat, then get out of the way...
He won’t need any advice or help...He can figure it out on his own...
When my dad would breed huskies they started males about 1 year old, but it really depends. In his case he had to make sure they were good working dogs. Shepard’s need to be old enough to know their hips were OK.
The biggest problem with a young dog is that they are stupid like a young boy. They don’t always “get” what they are supposed to do. And the bitch might not want that puppy all over them.
I would ask your vet. They know.
Don’t mate it with a chihuahua.
Advice: Do not breed your dog. Millions of dogs await death or adoption at shelters across America. Breeding up more will reduce the chance of existing dogs being saved. Why add to the problem? Having the dog neutered will calm him down; breeding him will not.
Judging from the video and your comments, Teddy is a Golden who needs constant attention & interaction, and not just as puppies. Common for the breed. Our former neighbor had a Golden with the same disposition and once they got an invisible fence they ignored the dog. ‘Bella’ was at once the neighborhood nuisance dog with constant barking from the edge of her perimeter. It cost us an offer on our house. So ... if you do breed Teddy, make sure whoever buys the pups knows all there is to know about Goldens.
Have you talked to Teddy’s vet? That should be your first step. Don’t know if you are new to breeding but I think making sure Teddy does not have a family history of any genetic problems common to the Goldens should be a priority. Same goes for any bitch you plan on breeding him to. The vet will probably want to do a full blood work up which will get pricey but if you plan on selling the pups it is a wise investment JMHO.
Also take into account your dog’s personality and make sure the bitch’s personality compliments it. For example if Teddy is sort of hyper at times find a bitch that has a calmer nature.
Then there is the whole matter of fees. Money? Choice of pups? Other arrangement. Maybe ask other breeders (Your vet should know some) what they usually do.
Now the most important question, Why do you want to breed him? Does he have the right bloodline? Good luck.
PS. If you want him to calm down try agility training. Dogs need to work. They need to have their minds and bodies occupied. Breeding him will not calm him down.
Um... put him together with a female Golden Retriever?! LOL.
I currently have had 2 male Golden's and had 3 before them. Only neutered 1 due to a medical issue. As they age they do mellow out but TRAINING is the remedy for controlling their behavior, not breeding them.
My wife said similar to me before our wedding night. Sadly, it worked.
Breeding advice for a Golden Retriever?
Laz is already married.
Plus the dog is male.
So, no go.
One word -- don't.
There are enough dogs who aren't wanted and are killed.
I'd rather see an adult dog get adopted than to see (yet) another amateur breeder adding to the problem.
We have a GLUT of Golden Retrievers.
Please neuter that dog.
