Dog Breeding Stands
People have always been experimenting with dog breeding in order to get healthier, stronger and basically in order to get better or more ‘improved’ dogs. Breeding however becomes a problem when the female is not willing to let a male dog mount her for different reasons. If dog owners are very eager to get puppies things like dog breeding stands are used in these types of situations.
Most of you are perhaps aware of the huge raging 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 claim that the dog breeding stand is absolutely moral and defends the use of the device. To come to the correct conclusion is not an easy task but perhaps it’s best to see the device as a tool in the hands of the dog’s owner and whether it’s good or bad depends on the motives and actions of the owner.
What critics of the dog breeding stand say is that the device is generally used to produce fighting dogs because dogs which have been taught to fight all their lives might rip each other to pieces when trying to breed naturally so the female is attached to the dog breeding stand so that the breeding process may be completed in a safe manner. 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 charge that this method is used to get puppies early before the female is prepared to mate or before she hasn’t reached the right time 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 are quite different in height the dog breeding stand is a good 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 stands is acceptable in such a situation.
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.
