The truth of the matter is that Golden Retrievers are not easy to breed. In fact, they are quite difficult to breed but a person who has plenty of information about breeding dogs will not find this task to be that complex at all. Are you new to breeding dogs? If you are and you wish to breed Golden Retrievers then there are certain things that you should know so that you will succeed.
Needless to say, the requirements of a professional dog breeder are not the same as the requirements for those who wish to breed dogs just as a hobby. So if you are new to breeding dogs, you should know that you can not be the same as the professional dog breeders and the end result that you obtain may be different from the one that you were expecting. One thing that owners should first determine before they breed their Golden Retrievers is why they want to breed their pet. What is the motive behind this? Is it for the purpose of selling? Or do you wish to breed these dogs as a hobby? What I will recommend is that you do not start breeding Golden Retrievers for the purpose of selling them for money at first. This is because you are new to breeding and you may not be able to get the puppies that you were half expecting.
One thing you should keep in mind is that breeding Golden Retrievers is not exactly cheap. In fact, I would say it is quite expensive and if you want to breed the finest quality, then apart from money, you will also have to spend plenty of time breeding the dogs. The job of breeding includes responsibility and spending a lot of time with the dogs.
I don't know whether you are aware or not but the female Golden Retrievers face some complications when they are pregnant so you have to think carefully before you decide to breed your pet. Once you have decided, you will have to take certain health precautions to ensure that the health of your pet will not be negatively affected in any way. You will also have to take care of your pet properly when she is pregnant. You need to remember that females that have been spayed will not be fit for breeding.
As the owner of this dog breed and also as a hobby breeder, you should need to ensure that you choose the mate of your pet with great care so that your Golden Retrievers will give birth to a high quality litter. I would advise you to go to a professional dog breeder and ask for his help for this purpose. He will be able to tell you about the compatibility factors, traits and temperaments of both the dogs. This way, you will know whether mating your pet with that particular dog would be a good idea or not. It will be your responsibility to make sure that you take care of your pet during the pregnancy and after your dog has given birth.
