Title: Dogs'n'bitches
Post by: Jo W on April 01, 2003, 01:34:38 PM: Why do bitches generally travel to (stud) dogs? Wouldn't it make it easier and, possibly, more successful if the bitch was in her own home and didn't have to travel afterwards :- :-

I was talking to a friend the other day who said her Mum's boxer was going to a dog to be mated, and that the dog's KC name was Love in a Field - she said her Mum pessimistically said 'I suppose we'll have to call ours Sh*g in a Shed' :o :o ooooh Mum !

HTH

Having said that, some dogs don't care & it's not unknown for doggy liasons to take place in carparks after shows etc ;) Sometimes dog & bitch live at opposite ends of the country & often stud dog owners will have the bitch to stay for a week or so, to save the owner having to make several long journeys (if they are not sure of the "right day" for example)

Post by: Sue H on April 01, 2003, 06:35:17 PM: My Dad had a dairy farm, and in the 'olden' days, we had our own bull. Once technology took over, however, the only action the poor old cows ever saw was the AI man with his rubber gloves and a sort of straw which contained the specified bull's semen. When the cow was at the right point in her cycle, my Dad would phone up the AI service, and ask for (sorry, I'm starting to laugh) a "service" from whateverhisnamewas, and hey presto, Mr Marigold would be in the yard the next day, rolling his sleeves up :P I know it would be a bit heartless to think that this sort of system could overtake the present one, but it would probably be far less stressful for the bitch - the only thing I can't even think about is - yes, you guessed it - how to collect the 'goodies' in the first place :o Can you get blow-up Cockers? No doubt the Americans will have thought of this - any nation that can design sanitary pants for bitches in heat can surely come up with something ;D

Post by: Jane S on April 01, 2003, 09:35:25 PM: AI is pretty common in dog breeding circles in some parts of the world, specially the US. It's allowed in the UK by the Kennel Club but only under certain restricted circumstances - it does happen though as I know a Golden Retriever breeder has been able to use AI to produce pups from a long dead stud dog & other breeders have also been able to use overseas stud dogs with the aid of AI. Blow up Cocker dollies aren't needed you'll be pleased to know - it's pretty easy to get a stud dog going, though sometimes a "teaser" bitch in season might be brought along to help things along ;)

Post by: cbabe on May 01, 2003, 11:45:10 AM: The bitches visit to the dog because some dogs wont perform unless they on familiar ground - it is a territory thing!
Men ::)

I know of one dog who wouldn't perform unless the lady had lived in his kennels for a couple of days! Talk about picky!
