Dog Breeding Stand
Posted Under: Uncategorized
Experimenting with dog breeding with the hope of getting dogs with a better physical condition or qualities is not something new. Breeding however becomes a problem when the female is unwilling to let a male dog mount her for different reasons. Devices like dog breeding stands are used sometimes in such occasions if the owner is very keen on getting puppies.
Most of you are probably aware of the furious debate that still continues regarding the moral aspects of the dog breeding stand. Some of course are of the view that this device is inhuman and goes to the point of referring to them as ‘rape stands’. There are of course those people with opposing views who state that the dog breeding stand is absolutely moral and defends the use of the device. Deciding whether the use of the device is ethical or not is indeed tough and perhaps its best seen as a tool in the hands of dog owner and the morality depending on the decisions of the owner.
What critics of the dog breeding stand say is that the device is usually used to produce fighting dogs because dogs which have been trained to fight all their lives could tear each other to bits when attempting to breed naturally so the female is attached to the dog breeding stand so that the whole process may be completed safely. Due to the fact that the female cannot turn back to bite the male it allows the breeding process to be completed without danger. These critics also claim that this method is used to get puppies early before the female is ready to mate or before she hasn’t reached the correct point in her ‘heat cycle.’
The supporters of the dog breeding stand view it as a necessity when the dogs that are to be bred are just too ferocious making it dangerous to allow breeding the natural way. They also say that when it comes to breeding between dogs that have a significant height difference the dog breeding stand is a suitable option. This group also points out that the female might lie down if she gets tired while breeding which makes the breeding process complicated. They are of the opinion that the use of a dog breeding stand is reasonable in such an occasion.
To any dog owners out there who might not be all that enthusiastic in using dog breeding stands on an unwilling female should remember that artificial insemination is also possible and talk to a dog breeding expert if you want a detailed explanation.
