German Shepherd

There is a saying: a good female animal means a good nest; a good male animal means a good slope. It can be seen that it is very important to raise a good breed of German Shepherd. The purpose of raising male dogs is to produce excellent offspring, and there is no doubt about this for breeders. What are the requirements and standards for selecting a breeding male dog? There are some basic requirements: good development, strong physique, and strong sexual desire. The breeding ability is strong, the semen quality is good, the sperm density is high, and the motility is strong. To meet this requirement, the following aspects must be done well.

1. Nutrition

Since dogs themselves are large and easy to fatten, male dogs should be fed reasonably to achieve comprehensive nutrition without waste. Feed should be rich in protein and vitamins. Dogs with heavy breeding tasks can be kept at a higher nutritional level, while dogs with lighter breeding tasks can be raised with enhanced nutritional levels during the breeding period. When feeding, ensure timing, quantity, heat preservation, and quality preservation. Feed 80% full at each meal and ensure adequate supply of clean drinking water. For breeding dogs that are too thin, the feed supply can be appropriately reduced or the nutrient level in the feed can be reduced, while for breeding dogs that are too thin, the opposite is true. A good breeding male dog should be fed well and lean, with a compact belly and plenty of energy.

2. Exercise

Male breeding dogs should be kept in a single pen and exercised reasonably. Appropriate exercise can promote appetite, enhance physical fitness, avoid puffiness, and improve sexual desire and sperm motility. Male dogs should exercise 2 to 3 times a day in large sports fields or outdoors, each time for no less than half an hour. In general dog farms, if they are self-breeding and self-raising, the number of male dogs will not be too many. The managers can lead the dogs one by one. On the one hand, they can get enough exercise, and on the other hand, they can also strengthen their relationship with management. The affinity of personnel is conducive to daily feeding and management, and it is also beneficial to the management personnel to assist in breeding during breeding.

Male dogs during the breeding season or those who are too thin can exercise appropriately less, and during the non-breeding season or those who are too fat can exercise more appropriately. Walk for half an hour after each breeding.

3. Brushing

Brush the whole body of male dogs 1 to 2 times a day and bathe them frequently in summer. This kind of male dog has a docile temperament, is lively and strong, has a strong sexual desire, and is highly attached to the feeding tube personnel.

4. Regularly check semen quality

At present, most places use this method, and the semen quality can be checked once a month. However, when the non-breeding season is transferred to the breeding season, inspections should be carried out for several consecutive days so that nutrition, exercise and breeding times can be adjusted based on the inspection results to ensure the quality of breeding.

5. Utilization

Breeding male dogs can be bred at 1 to 1.5 years oldInitial mating is carried out, and the mating intensity is preferably once every 2 to 3 days. The breeding life is 7 to 8 years. Especially excellent male dogs should be bred once a day and should rest 2 days a week. Breeding can be done in the morning or evening when the weather is cool in summer, and in winter when the weather is warm at noon. It should be noted that breeding is not allowed within 2 hours after eating to avoid reflex vomiting. This should be remembered.
