One of the most popular breeds in recent years is the Chinese Crested Dog. But keep in mind that if you seriously decide to start breeding them, then do not skimp. Choose purebred dogs. It is best to look for a future pet at exhibitions or in good pet stores, where you can be provided with a complete pedigree.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that when breeding dogs of this breed, the criterion of "overgrowth" in bald individuals is important. The fact is that the amount of wool in the Chinese Crested can vary from absolutely "naked", with only a small tuft and a brush on the tail, to completely overgrown specimens. It depends on the hairless gene. Dogs with a lot of hair are not a marriage. But you need to decide which species you want to breed.
Step 2
Be aware that the hairless gene is dominant, so you are more likely to have hairless puppies if at least one of the parents is naked.
Step 3
Pay attention to the characteristic features of these dogs, otherwise you risk losing the purity of the breed in the future. The Chinese Crested have a wedge-shaped muzzle, their ears are set low, if there is a crest, then it is very soft and rather long.
Step 4
Focus on your teeth. The Chinese Crested should have a scissor bite. Hairless dogs have an incomplete set of teeth, and canines protrude forward, in overgrown dogs, all teeth are in place.
Step 5
Find out everything you can about your dog's origins. Choose bitches especially carefully. Collect complete information about possible partners.
Step 6
Prepare a symbol table to describe all of your pets. Also try to keep a card index where you will record all changes. Make a list of traits that are inherited in a recessive and dominant manner. Build a breeding program based on the data obtained.
Step 7
Monitor the growth, condition and mood of pets. Breeding success largely depends on the conditions and comfort for the dogs. Keep exactly the number of dogs that you can definitely feed, house and give them everything they need.
Step 8
Visit your veterinarian regularly. Get all necessary vaccinations and procedures. Do not treat dogs yourself if they are sick. It's always best to go to a professional.
Step 9
Apply linebreeding to eliminate imperfections. In parallel, it is desirable to breed at least two lines, they will complement each other from time to time. You should also have a third line for outcrossing.
