Breeding my springer

[ferret_uk 4]

One of my springer bitches has just came in season i have never bothered breeding of her as she has no papers or anything and really thought it would be pointless but i am wanting to keep a pup for my self as she is a real cracking bitch. do you think i will have poblems getting rid of the pups with them having no papers? what price would i be looking at? thanks ferret_uk

I have just recently sold a litter though she only had 3 pups one was gifted to a lad on here and the other two i sold for £150 apeice and lads had been waiting 2 years.Even though she is not paperd up do try and get the best dog available to line her.I dont think £200 a pup is to much to ask for honest breeding without papers.atvb dell

Can you send or put a picture of her on here mate would love to see her.I have a dog i would love to breed he has full papers mate.

£200 is a fair price, you see some paperless for £300 but thats being all abou the £££.

 

If the dog is quality and you line her with a good stamp of a dog many people aren't bothered about the papers...there was a thread on here not so long ago regarding that.

 

Not being funny or anything though is this the dog which you had up for sale just recently...past few days??

i was waiting for someone 2 ask that NO its not the bitch that was for sale. If you read my first post its quoted ' one of my springers' thanks for the info wil get pics up soon ferret_uk

[rickyspringer 15]

okay no worries mate, you didn't mention anything about having another Springer when you took this one off your parents, look at your topic post regarding it, you only mentioned about having Lurchers and you wanted to know which way to go about training a Springer, I can remember the thread.

 

It doesn't matter anyway mate, we all have our reasons, if your wanting to keep a pup back thats fine. No argument intended.

 

Back to the breeding have you got any stud dogs lined up, seems like alot of the lads off here are from the N.E so you may not have to travel too far.

 

Put a real good dog to her mate, get in the vets early days and enquire regarding the docking and so on. Get everything planned for a nice litter.

 

Keep us posted

This will be my first time breeding a dog mate but i have been reading up on everything for a few month now. Only problem is every bit of information i have read tells you diffrent stuff lol and has got me abit baffled to be honest. You might be able to put things easier. When should i introuduce the stud dog she has been in for 3 days now? How many time should i allow the stud dog to line her?

 

Yea mate i ahve my eye on a cracking dog thanks ferret_uk

Hi mate

the time is from 10 to 14 days on most bitches

mate her twice maybe day 11 and day 13 or so on

let her see/play with the dog she will know when she is ready. Then about 63 days the pups arrive

 

well somtimes it goes like this

 

cheers merle

thanks for the info lads i wil keep u updated and let u know how things go cheers ferret_uk

[rickyspringer 15]

GOOD LUCK mate, hope it goes well...do the best you can possibly do and you will have some good one's on yoyr hands. Be prepared is the best thing i ca say. Also use a dog which is good at the dog, with her being a maiden bitch.

 

Looking forward to every little bit of news.

 

Regards RS

just to let you know my springer was lined today they stuck for 20 mins and everything went fine this is 2 be repeated tuesday

[rickyspringer 15]

good news mate, get everything in place now, a vet which will dock, and a whelping box organised or a safe place for them to go. Tell us abit about the stud and what price you after

[ferret_uk 4]

thanks mate. The stud was bred by a game keeper in scotland and used for the local shoot aswell as bushing.The bitch is just a bushing and flushing dog for my lurchers but does her job really well. I am asking £200 for the pups dogs and bitches. Wil get pics up of dam and sir soon thanks ferret_uk

[ferret_uk 4]

any of you lads think the price abit to much for spingers with no papers? Feel free 2 an opinion thanks ferret_uk
