Are you about to breed your Pomeranian? There are things that you have to carefully consider before you decide to breed your pet pom. The first rule that you have to follow is that breeding is best left to professional breeders. While it is true that this task is the exclusive domain of the experts, it is still essential that you know the basics of dog breeding.

Important Breeding Elements

It is important that you carefully think things over before breeding your Pomeranian. There are some dog owners who want to breed “designer” dogs. Designer dogs are those that were bred from different bloodlines and given cute names. This practice weakens the Pomeranian bloodline. You have to understand that this is just a passing fad, and you don’t want to go this route if you want to preserve the pure bloodline of your pet pom. Thus, your best pick will always be a purebred Pomeranian.

The breeding procedure is not just about having a male dog and female dog together. There are important aspects that need to be complied with and performed before you can finally start with the actual breeding procedure. Of course, both dogs should be properly evaluated. Professional breeders are in the best position in determining the best pairings of the dogs to be bred. You have to understand that having an AKC registration is not enough reason to proceed with the breeding of your pet pom. Both dogs must undergo a complete medical checkup. It is important that both dogs are in perfect health and that neither the male dog nor the female dog carries any hereditary diseases that can be passed down to the pups.
