Costs Of Training A Hunting Dog

The training of a hunting dog should be regular and systematic. The same words should be used for a command and the trainer should be firm when the dog does not to the commands. The dog should be able to predict the training. The important rule in training a hunting dog is that the dog must be able to react to your commands and differentiate between them.

Timing For Dog Breeding

Timing is very important for the breeding of the dogs. If it is done in at the wrong time, the mating will not give positive results. The semen of the dog can fertilize the eggs up to 5 days, but if it is in the bitch, it is a different story. The heat in the bitch can be up to 2, 3 or many weeks. At this time there is a chance of fertilizing. The timing can be known by figuring out the time of ovulation.
