Title: How long can you hunt a bred dog? Post by: hank on August 11, 2010, 07:26:34 am After a dog is bred, how long do you feel it is still safe to hunt her?

Joey Young x2 if its worth taking the time to breed her you must think something of the pups. i never hunt any of my bred gyps Title: Re: How long can you hunt a bred dog? Post by: jlewis713 on August 11, 2010, 12:02:24 pm I asked the EXACT same question on here about 10 months ago. Got the same answers as above. If it's worth planning a breeding, it's worth not hunting her. I took the advice and didn't hunt her. The very next hunt, my hunting partner's main dog, and sire to the litter, got killed. Could've just as easily been my female. Those puppies are 8 months old now, and coming on stronger than any other litter I've had at that age. All that to say, if it's worth planning, and if it's a cross you want to have puppies out of, don't risk it. Wheter the dog is rough or not, you never know what hunt may be a dog's last. Doesn't have to be a hog this time of year...heat, snake, gator...you just never know. Play it safe. Let her rest. She'll be ready to go in a few months.

Post by: djhogdogger on August 11, 2010, 12:16:19 pm One time we had a dog that we didn't know was bred because she only had 4 pups in her and we hunted her hard the day before she had the pups. One of the pups was born dead but i don't know if that is what caused it.
