Hi I am new here and new to breeding. Right now I ma in the process of breeding my beautiful female Chi (Muffin). 2 nights ago they did their thing and got stuck together for about 30 minutes.....is this when he impregnates her??? Then he didn't want anything to do with her all day yesterday, he would sniff her and then walk off. THEN today, they got stuck together again for about 10 minutes.
I guess my main question would be WHY do they get stuck together and WHAT does it mean????
My Vet never said anything about the 2 getting stuck together, so I am very curious as to WHY this happens.

All replies are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Thank you so much for your response!!!! I was so curious about it and even looked for hours on the internet, trying to find info about this. Now I know why I couldn't, because I did not know it was called a "tie". Thanks again!

Ozzysmom-

You know, I just asked a question, do you always try to make people feel stupid for asking a question????? I thought that is what this board was for, or am I wrong??? For you info, yes I do know about the whole diet and Folic Acid thing.

NOW, let me ask you a question......

If people only breed their Chi's to "better the breed" then why do they SELL them for hundreds of dollars????? Why not just GIVE them to good homes??? I mean they were only born to "better the breed" they weren't supposed to be born to make the owners some money. And if you own a male Chi and you breed him with someone elses female, I'm sure you charge the females owner a pretty penny. Just how much would you charge????

THANK YOU, LUVMYPET!!!!!!!

I was ONLY asking a question so that I would I know the whole process. Thank you LuvMyPet for the great information. I do adore my Chi and I did not want her to get hurt, so it frightened me. who would think to ask their Vet, "so, do the 2 get "stuck together" ?" Not me. Anyway, you helped mr to understand why and eased my mind. Thank you again!

KJ - Quite frankly, I do not think I was being rude. When I read OzzyMoms response I thought it was VERY inappropriate. She does not know me, all I asked for was a simple answer to a question, and it seemed as though she was attacking me, like I didn't know what I was doing, or how I was supposed to do it, and WHY I was doing it.
AND....my Chi is up to standard, thank you. The stud that I bred her with is also compatible in size and standard. I am not a "backyard breeder", just so you know. I was very picky in choosing a stud. I would never do anything to harm my Chi or the Chi breed. They are beautiful dogs.
As for the selling of dogs, I see it on here ALL the time. Chi's for sale for $1200.00. You can't tell me these people who sell a Chi for that much are looking to "better the breed". I was not implying thay YOU yourself sold your pups for a profit, just people in general. I see it all the time.

Ozzysmom...yes I get a little defensive when I am attacked by someone that does NOT know me and someone who makes me feel stupid for asking a completley logical question. I will not apologize for that. All I needed was a simple answer to ease my mind, not some smart a** comments or someone telling me the "only" reason to breed. I have a Vet that takes care of that end, thank you. Maybe I should have called him to find out the answer to my question.

Vala....

I did not answer her thread as if I knew her, she answered MY thread with some smart ass comments and I don't appreciate it. Half of her response had absolutley nothing to do with my question. If I wanted to know her opinions I would have asked for them

Ozzysmom.....

WHY are you in this room if you are NOT a breeder???? Is this room not for "breeders and breeding"? And to answer your question....YES you are a smart ass. I have read some of the other posts and same thing...SMART ASS comments. I think you just like to cause these arguments.

And for everyones information, I DID do my research. Maybe I did not know what "tie" meant when I was reading up on breeding. I do believe that I did the responsible things that breeders should do when they breed their dogs. I took her to the Vet and discussed breeding with him. I bred her with a stud that is comparable in size, even a little smaller I might add. My Muffin is 4 pounds and the stud was 3 pounds. And guess what, he has papers! They are both as purebred as they come. I started her on puppy food for reproductive stages and lactation with Folic Acid, lots of vitamins, and Iron way before she was even bred. So PLEASE, do NOT tell me that I did not do my research before I decided to breed. Yes maybe I should have asked the VET what "tie" meant. Excuse me for being more concerned about how to give my Chi a healthy pregnancy for her and the puppies than knowing what "tie" meant. To be honest, asking the vet what that meant was the farthest thing from my mind while he was discussing the importance of nutrition and not getting a stud that was too big and the process of whelping, and the dangers, and the things to look for when she is pregnant, and the things to look for while she is whelping that may indicate that I need to take her to the Vet, and what to do with the puppies once they are born, like cutting the cord, and drying them off, and moving them so they do not get trampled while the mother is having another pup, and the importance of staying with her while she is whelping and after. Taking temperatures, weighing pups, writing things down. Yes it was all alot to absorb at the time. And YES if you are wondering, I wrote it down for future reference. NOW don't call be an irresponsible breeder!

I do NOT think that you are qualified to give people your replys or smart ass comments in this room, if you yourself do not breed.

This same woman did this to me on one of my threads like I told you before jailergirl2001. She thinks she is god on this site. She didn't like my thread or my opinion, because it wasn't hers.

ozzysmom....

Excuse me if I am wrong, but I do believe that the standards for a Chi is 6 pounds or under. So yes, Muffin meets standards and yes, she has the right build to build. Are you a Licensed Vet? If not, who do you think you are to tell my the opposite of what my Vet told me????

I really do not care if you are the Moderater of this room. You don't do a very good job at it. Instead of moderating, it seems you like to just piss people off. So ban me if you want to. I think that if you do ban me, you just don't have any defense against what I am saying and so you choose not to debate this because you won't win. JMHO

I for one do not think you should be a moderator of a topic that you do not practice. I thought when I asked my question that I would be asking experienced "breeders". I did get my answer, thanks to luvmypuppet. She seems very knowledgable of breeding Chi's, unlike yourself. You didn't answer my question and you just brought up a whole lot of other stuff that had nothing to do with my question. :roll:

So yes, ozzysmom you started this whole argument and if you have run out of things to say about it, then maybe you should quit posting replys to me and let other "breeders" reply to my post. Nobody said you HAD to continue posting replys to me. Let it be. :x

Did you see that she doesn't even breed Chi's ? She is trying to tell me what to do and she doesn't even breed. It's hilarious, if you ask me.

ozzysmom......., did you ban AK_crazygirl because she posted in my thread????? Or was it because she doesn't like you? Or because she stated her opinion about you? What kind of Moderator are you anyway?????

 

[Anonymous]

Hey, at least she gave a knowledgable answer to my question. She seems to alot more than you do, hey, maybe you should give the moderator job to her so that people who ask questions can get the answer they are looking for. I don't care if you said anything about standards, if I would have said "My muffin was 8 pounds" you would have said...well she doesn't meet standards, why are you breeding her?

You never answered me, I asked if you were a Licensed Vet. My Vet says 4 pounds is the perfect size. So I do believe you are wrong miss moderator. :shock:

 

[Anonymous]

I do believe that I will contact the Admistrator ozzysmom. You are very unprofessional and rude.

 

[Anonymous]

you are an RN and you have all this time to be on the computer????? So because you are an RN I should take your advise over my Vet's???? Ummmmm....I don't think so. I ma very happy with my Vet, he is very knowledgable of Chi breeding. THey are Doctors for Christ's Sake, they have an education and a license to practice Animal Medicine.
Are you an RN at an animal hospital or a human hospital???? There is a HUGE difference there.

 

[Anonymous]

I did not say ALL VETS were good. I said I was very happy with my vet, he is knowledgable. Maybe you should read the posts a little closer. :x

 

[Anonymous]

ozzysmom....

yep, your right, they would. 4 pounds is the perfect size for a Chi.

luvmypuppet....

I meant "he's a doctor" not "they" it was a typo. I know that some vets are not good at what they do, and I would not take my Chi to anyone that I did not trust completly.

This has all gotten very stupid and out of hand, it was A SIMPLE QUESTION!!!! Nothing more, nothing less. :roll:

 

[Anonymous]

Furthermore ozzysmom.....

How do you get EXPERIENCED breeders. Doesn't every EXPERIENCED breeder have a FIRST TIME?????????? :shock:

 

[Anonymous]

Again :roll: ... Amen. :lol:

 

[Anonymous]

No ma'am all I wanted was an answer to my question. You decided to make some smart ass comments and it went from there.
What's wrong with just answering my question and going on? I didn't ask for yur opinion, so until it is wanted please keep it to yourself. :bootyshake:

 

[Anonymous]

and you didn't answer my question AGAIN. :roll:

 

[Anonymous]

Then why didn't Ozzy just PM her with the question in the first place? Or tell her opinion in a PM in the first place? Why couldn't she just answer her question or not answer it and anything else that she didn't ask go straight into a PM? Why did Ozzy let it get this far, her being a moderator? She should of just gone straight to PM'ing.

 

[Anonymous]

I just don't understand why she let it go on this long? Why didn't she just stop it and PM her? She's sposed to be so much higher ranking in life than the rest of us right? I'm just asking simple questions like her, but now your jumping in my face? And now I see your threatening me too? That's just silly :lol: !
