Hey I know some of you are not fond of breeding Ratties.  I agree there are many in shelters that need homes but I still want to breed my Bailey.  I want to get one of his offsprings.  I am wanting to research all the angles on breeding before I try it again.  (first round didnt go so well)  He is a blue so I know that I need to make sure the female is not a blue and that she has not blue dilute right??  He is also around 25 pounds so I should find a female around that size.  An advice would be helpful.  Thanks

Did you get Bailey from a breeder? Maybe they would want some of his offspring too, and you could make a deal, to get pick of the litter, for his stud service. They usually have several females they breed, and like to use males that they know the history of.

Hey thanks I did get Bailey from a breeder and I called him and he said that he has his own males that he breeds.  He did offer to sale me a female lol.  I just dont want to get that involved.

MORE TEMPERMENT THAN SIZE...I just thought cute pups till I saw the difference! My breeder that I got shamus and domino,lacie from breeds for blk/wht but mostley for temperment (he culls the nutty ones)and size,his boys throw small pups,(his dams are bigger so as to have ease of birth)and he know's people want small(toy)so I would go for those 2 things,spend time with mom,and see if you could live with her as YOUR dog if so, between yours and her you have a better chance of BETTERING them both not getting worse than!Sometime things be amplified And you don't want as" good you should aim for Better THAN! DOES THAT MAKE SINCE?

My suggestion would be that you get your girl fully tested and OFA'ed. Then breed her to a fully tested OFA male. It's not a guarantee that the babys will have NO issues but it will lessen the odds.. good luck on your litter

Ok, you want of his offspring, right? What will happen to the others? Both stud and bitch owners are responsible, in the final analysis, for all of the puppies produced in the mating, and for generations after! What qualities does your boy have that potential owners would be seeking? What would the breeding do to enhance the breed in general? What would you need to look for in the female that would either complement your dogs features or supplement any deficiencies? I bred, on a limited basis, Golden Retrievers for 18 years. My litters were always pre-sold to serious pet owners who knew both the sire and the dam, and wanted a good pet. OFA clearences CERF clearances and others were obtained on all "breeding stock" prior to breeding, which were not cheap. All puppies were sold on spay neuter contracts, (as a condition of the stud service) and were enforced. These are just some "other" angles you may want to consider.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
