Many breeders and Dog lovers must be familiar with these expressions as they are associated with mating your dogs.

I remember when I began breeding, I had a friend, a girl, she is an animal scientist. There was a time I took my rottweiler for mating and she asked me "why don't you do AI?" I just looked at her and said in my mind "so my Dog will not lock abi, and so she won't make it, lailai" That was how ignorant I was then.

Fast forward to 3 Years later, by now i know better and wider than i knew then. There was this bitch i wanted to mate and she was just too stubborn, snapping, turning, twisting. Not allowing the male at all. Then a man adviced me again, "why dont you do AI?" Then i sunmitted myseld to learning more about this AI. The man then helped me to do it, and he also taught me how to do it.

61 Days later, my bitch gave me 9pups(her largets litter). In between, another bitch of mine also entered her oestrus cycle, and i did AI myself, believe me, she also 'made it'. I have a woman in my area, she has a male and a female boerboel. The girl came on heat and she called me to help her conduct the mating, on getting there the male was soo hyper and he was too anxious, being the first time hes tasting the forbidden fruit, so the mating couldnt be done. I told the woman about AI and she agreed, shes a civilised woman tho, i did the AI and last week, the small girl dropped 8puppies.

Then I asked myself, why go through the stress of mating a Dog when a simpler, easier and less stressful AI can be conducted.

I also got to realise that most breeders in developed countries do AI for their dogs, they just purchase semen of their choice male and conduct the stuff.

I'm amazed that in this current age, some People are still particular about 'locking' before they can accept that their Dog mated.


Let's move forward
Be civilised
Stop forcing dogs to mate
Embrace AI

I need a Saint Bernad pup as soon as possible!

VivJohn:
We would to see your Caucasians.

Hmmm.. Crossing two breeds (A & B respectively) who are the principal contributors to another breed (C) does not automatically create a puppy conformant to breed C's technical specifications.
This was a topic of much heated debate in a Caucasian whatsapp group I belong to. I think the science of breed creation goes beyond just mating separate breeds in the hopes of creating a new one. There are DNA profiling, genotypic and phenotypic considerations etc.
What gender are your saints?
I just groomed my Caucasian shepherds this weekend, 3 dogs @ a combined price of 9k (3k per dog).
But the groomer does an excellent job though.

VivJohn:
Oh! I see.. Thanks for the info. You know what they say "experience is the best teacher".
I'm aware of two breeders in Jos who do St. Bs namely Bsquarekennels and PSK too.
To be candid, I've perpetually held myself back from acquiring this awesome breed owing to my greatest concern i.e. avoiding undesirable crossbreeding between my pack of Caucasian shepherds and the St. B.
Heat periods can be quite tricky and if u aren't on top of your game such "disasters" may occur.
How have u been able to address this phenomenon?

Perciel:
Lovely dogs, look well fed. Could you however put more attention to grooming and their coats. They have such lovely colours white, brown which is a sight when washed, brushed and properly groomed, nice job so far, let the coats shine, smoothen the rough edges and try for an even tone.

torres89:
lovely

how much did you get them please ?

VivJohn:
So beautiful.. The first pic is infinitely adorable. I love St. Bs. But from ur experience, do they make reliable guard dogs when compared to gsds, rotts, Boerboels and Caucasian ovtcharka?
