Hello
For some reason it is not letting me respond to my other thread 'Beagle Breeding' so thought i'd just make a response here. Just wanted to thank everybody for their information, I tried not to take offence to the posts received as I felt that I was being quite frowned upon which really was not my intentions.
In response to some questions asked, I didn't realise upon buying my Male beagle that it is actually better for the female to be older then the male, that was where the whole breeding them when he was 3.5 and she was 2 years came from. And thank you for the info that they didn't need to be seperated except for when she was on heat. Like mentioned i'm very new to this, i'm not trying to break the rule book or do the wrong thing by my dogs or a breed of dog at all. That's why I requested information so I could gain more knowledge on it.
In regards to the female being the most important when it comes to breeding that's great because I don't have a female beagle yet and won't for a little while to come.
If breeding my male with a new female beagle is an issue, would it then be a possiblity to desex him and allow the bitch to then breed with somebody elses male beagle who would be capatible to do so?
I hope somebody understands where i'm coming from. If I want to become a proper breeder how do I go about doing that? I'm willing to search well into my avenues here so please don't discourage me i'm trying to do the right thing and this is something close to my heart.
Thank you for any help, please feel free to PM me with any further information if you wish.
