I have 3 males and one female, I need to know how the 3 males go about mating with only one female in my yard. When the female becomes in heat. Will the three males fight? I bought the female and one male, they mated and I got 2 male pups from them, I kept the pups and now they are a little over a year old and been trying to hop the female. I still have the father dog in the same yard, but the female is not in heat yet. The female dog is the pups mother. Could you please let me know if the 3 males would fight for dominance for the female, or would the female choose her mate for the her cycle?

quote: Most likely. And since both pit bulls and mastiffs can are powerful dogs that may not relent if they get into a fight with each other, chances are that if they do get into a fight, you'll be looking to have them (at least) sewn back together afterwards, if you're lucky. It's also not fair to your female dog to leave her out in the yard with no way to get away from the male dogs who will be harassing her probably through her entire heat cycle, even though there will only be a few days when she is breedable.
quote: You are aware that serious health problems can result from inbreeding dogs without (even with) proper knowledge of genetics and the dogs' lineage, right? Are you prepared to take a bundle of cute little pups to the vets to be killed off because they ended up with a deformity that both the female dog and one of her pups carried? It could happen, so if you're planning on just standing by, be prepared for the worst case scenario.
quote: Dogs con't "choose" mates, it's whatever happens along while they're in heat. They can even be bred by several dogs at once, and have puppies in the same litter with different fathers. And again, YES, they probably will fight over her. Why not take the female in and get her fixed? That would be the cheapest and easiest way to avoid all the above.

Hi! Please get them fixed! my sister's neighbor had pitbulls, they had pups, then the pups grew up and mated with the mom. Result: she had 5, three died, 2 are deformed, and the male adult was killed by one of the male pups. The poor dogs did not deserve this! they only did what they know to do. You don't want this on your consience do you? Just my opinion! Susan IP: Logged |

You are breeding mutts? You are letting them breed on their own? Breeding should always be controlled. There are PLENTY of mutts in the shelter. Fix your dogs. If you MUST breed then keep control over it...that is absolutely rediculous. And dont get me started on pit bulls. Walk through your local shelter. You will never find those pups homes. IP: Logged |

Mistresskela do you always have to be so hard on people your not here to judge and your attitude towards people really stinks sorry and i will probs get told of for saying that by the moderators but i just had to say it. If you can not put your point across without being so down right nasty then dont bother answering the questions. Another thing why would pitbulls and mastiffs not find homes there is alot of people out there that love them breeds so stop being so judgemental please.
Now thats out of my system. Hi Kalikona, and welcome to the boards. You will find when your female comes into heat the older male will most surely fight the pups to mate with the females also the risk of a serious fight breaking out is high. I breed shepherds and i dont have that worry about my males but almost every male will fight another dog for a female in heat. Even though your younger dogs are over a year old they are still puppies and can inpregnate any female that is in heat. I would advice on having them nuetered/spayed as the female will also be hurt in the process of the males fighting. I dont agree with cross breeding but its not my place to judge people and there are alot of great looking and loving cross breeds out there. In the long run nuetering and spaying helps reduce health issue's like testicular cancer in the males and mammary tumours ovarian cancer and so on in the female. Hope this was of some help and there is alot of caring animal lovers on the board taht will also give advice and help where they can. Again welcome and hope you get the information you require. Mike.

Hi Mike, Mistress has "one" point. And that is: I don't know about other states, but in Ca. you won't find any pit bulls in shelters, they are automatically put down when brought in, it's the law. I don't know about Masstiffs (spelling) but if they were bred with a pit it wouldn't matter anyway. My sister's neighbor had used thier dogs to fight, my sis had called the humane society on several occasions as well as the police Dept. But no one did a thing until one got out and terrorized the neighborhood. Then they finaly investigated (saw how they were treated) and took them all away. I hate to think what came of them. kalikona, I do hope all this helps you to make an informed decision, and good luck! Susan IP: Logged |

Oh no, I feel like this is the "reproduction" post all over again.....Kalikona, this is a disaster waiting to happen...Please, if you care about the safety and well-being of your pets, spay and neuter them. If it is your wish to breed cross-breed your dogs (which I don't understand- if you want a mix dog simply go the humane society and you will find plenty), then you are going to have to fix both of your male pups (as mentioned, it is not a good idea to breed mother and son as it could lead to major complications and weaker pups). Please consider making life easier on both yourself and your dogs by fixing all of them IP: Logged |

quote: Yes, so many that pit bulls are the third highest as far as amount of dogs listed on petfinder.com, and that's only counting dogs that are put up for adoption (many shelters have PTS on intake rules because they know there aren't many good homes out there for pit bulls and pit mixes). So many that in ONE county of the US, 600 pit bulls are killed every week for lack of homes. Many people love the breeds, but with so many carelss people pumping out puppies, there aren't enough homes (nevermind good homes) to go around. IP: Logged |

I hope no-one thought i was saying to go ahead and allow them to breed as that was not what i was getting at i hink the best route is to have all the dogs spayed/nuetered. My point was that here in the uk we have alot of people with pitbulls and mastiffs i know that this aint the case in some countries where people are just breeding them left right and centre or even cross breeding them. So i would just like to say i was not saying she should allow them to mate. mike IP: Logged |

Sure there are tons of pit and bullmastiff lovers. First off neither of the parents are purebred so the puppies will be even more mixed. The amount of pits compared to the amount of pit lovers is the problem. Charmedagain...dont give me crap about my attitude. The number of dogs every day in las vegas alone that get put to sleep outrages me...most of those being pit mixes. I am a dog lover and to see that happen...I will say or do anything in my power to put a stop to it. "Oh I don't think you should do that" has been said plenty to these people and I dont think it has much of an effect so I will take a different and needed approach. IP: Logged |

I visited my county animal shelter a couple weeks ago and there were literally dogs on top of dogs, all but four were pit bulls. The problem is tremendous out here, they were beautiful dogs, but I am not so nieve as to believe they will all get good homes, most will probably be put down. The shelter worker told me that they were quite popular in that specific area and that the people who owned them were not pet owner type people, they get dogs all the time that have obviously been made to fight, she said they also have a large drug dealing problem in that area (big surprise...NOT)and that they try to be careful who they adopt out to, but basically at a county animal shelter anyone can adopt. She said drug dealers and teenagers want them...teach them to fight and use them to gaurd. They breed them and sell the puppies for quick cash. We recently, in the last couple weeks had a case on the news where a couple teenagers had taught a pit bull to attack on command to the "n" word along with a few others, they had taken this dog to a gas station and told it to attack a black man, they also sicked the dog on several other people before being caught. That dog is at the pound on hold for trial, he cannot be adopted out until after the trial and will probably be put to death. I love Pit Bulls, and it made me sick to walk out of that shelter knowing I couldn't do anything for any of them, the look in some of their eyes tells a story that breaks my heart. This is the life pit bulls and other dogs are doomed to when owners don't act responsibly. Please,you have a breed of dog that has a bad reputation..unfair? YES, please spay and neuter your dogs, do them justice and learn all you can about them and how you can make them into dogs that represent their breed well to the public. Of course this is all my opinion based on my observations, Mike I understood what you meant. Goob, as usual, your posts are perfect. IP: Logged |
