How to Breed Red-Nose Pit Bull Dogs

Red-nose pit bulls are a somewhat uncommon strain of American Pit Bull Terrier. They are renowned for their striking coloration, which is red from their nose to their toenails. While red-nose pit bulls are not rare, they are less common than brindle dogs. Many breeders specialize in red-nose pit bulls. However, the task isn't reserved for specialized breeders alone; many amateurs find great success and joy in breeding their own pit bulls for pleasure.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose a male and a female red-nose pit bull. The ideal candidates for breeding are registered with the American Kennel Club or a similar organization. This certification ensures that the dogs have a suitable temperament for breeding and are not predisposed toward physical or temperamental problems. Some pit bulls are prone to hip dysplasia, so try to choose dogs without this predisposition.

      Watch for signs that the female is in heat. A slight swelling of the vulva and dark, bloody discharge indicate the onset of proestrus. Females in this stage, which lasts about nine days, will reject the advances of a male dog. When the discharge decreases and lightens in color, the dog has entered the estrus phase, during which she can be impregnated.

      Introduce the dogs to each other. Pit bulls are prone to fight with each other, so have a bite stick on hand with which to separate the dogs if necessary. Monitor the dogs carefully while they are together to prevent injury to either dog.

      Allow the dogs to breed at least two times. Like humans, dogs may not become pregnant after a single breeding. Maintain supervision of the dogs during all breeding sessions to ensure that copulation occurs and to separate the dogs if they begin fighting.
