looking for a male oes to mate my female oes
We live in Astoria, Queens, NY. We have a four and a half year old old english sheep dog, for whom we are looking for a male oes. We'd like to breed her, but we've found no males around the area.

| Hi I like in Connecticut. I have a pure bread Bull Terrier whom I am looking for a female dog to mate him with. I am interested in the same bread.
You can email me at [Sorry, Lillian. -Ron], if you're interested. If you want Lillian's email address, contact me. |

Have you had your female OFA certified if so what is her rating, have you had her eyes checked and certified and is she registered with the AKC. Are any of her ancestors OFA certified to establish dominant traits or defects especially from the female side. Also don't accept any old male that applies. Traits must be counterbalanced. for instance if your girl weighs 110 lbs you would want a 60 to 70 lb male not one that weighs in at 130. If you have a whitehead (no grey) and blue eyes you would not want to breed to a white head with blue eyes unless they both have allot of skin pigmentation around the eyes and lips. If you have an all white with very little gray don't breed to an all white with very little gray. The more white the more the merle gene shows up especially with blue eyes. and can result in a lack of skin pigmentation and occasional deafness, are you willing to keep and raise any puppy that isn't sold. Do you have $2500 dollars up front for vet bills to care for the litter until sold. Be very careful about hip angulation the current trend is to show dogs with back legs at a steep angulation and if a breeder has breed for this trait the occurance of displasia in future generations is more likely. When breeding wait until 6 days after vulvar swelling to begin progesterone testing you have to have one test below 5ng and one at or above 5ng after the 5ng reading breed and you will have much better results with larger litters. If you decide on frozen sperm let your vet tell you exactly what and when timing is critical in that case, otherwise sperm will be active in the dam for 5 to 8 days sometimes longer. And just out of curiosity what deal are you giving to the stud owner? I know I have gone on and on and I AM NO VET just an interested spectator with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. Good luck and post pictures when the litter arrives. |

I just figured out the reason I reply as a guest is when I take a long time to compose the reply the system logs me out. |

I had to set the timeout limit to 15 minutes when our board was being probed for weaknesses by a world-wide virus (it didn't find any). But every computer that made a connection to the forum was kept track of in the "sessions" table, which is cleaned out based on how long your session is kept alive. The problem was that so many computers were doing this that the table was getting full, and new visitors to the forum couldn't be added to the table, and were unable to see anything but an error. I increased the size of the sessions table, and changed the session time from 60 minutes to 15 minutes as a first step to keep the forum alive. The I did some defensive things on the server to prevent that particular kind of virus attack from getting to the forum at all. But I forgot to go and reset the timeout value. You can avoid even the 60 minute timeout, and avoid having to log in every time you visit, by clickin on "Log me on automatically" box next to the login boxes. This will set a permanent cookie on your machine. Everytime you come for a visit the forum looks for your cookie, if it's there you are automaticaly logged in, if it isn't you aren't. That simple. If you're using internet explorer, there is a setting that may need to be changed to allow cookies to be set by oes.org. Click on Tools -> Internet Options... -> Privacy -> Sites... Type *.oes.org in the box labeled "Address of web site", and click on "Allow". Then on "OK". That's it! |
| Are you still looking for a male oes?

| I too, got a male to breed with my Stella....then I started the research.....I was doing okay until I found out that out of a large litter....say 10 puppies, 3-5 of them will wind up in a shelter at some point in their lives.......I stopped right there......unless you are willing to live with that,I'd say just enjoy the one you have....or get another one and don't breed.....my two, Stella and Max, are the loves of my life.
I think that everyone ought to do some research before they go into this willy nilly Good luck |
| Memphisblue,
You did the right thing. We also wanted to breed Lennon to have a cute puppy from him... Then we adopted Sofa and Frida and we decided not to do it. Many dogs end up in shelters, specially high manteinace breeds like the OES. Mora, If you've done your homework and certified your female free of defects and issues, you are ready to track the puppy owners from time to time to make sure every dog has a nice home and decent living conditions and are willing to deal with a pregnant female, then I wish you the best of luck... If you have any doubts, please don't breed!!!! |
| In case anyone hadn't noticed, Mora's post was from May, 2004.... |
 Now I'm embarrased..... |
LOL!  |
