Many families choose to raise dogs not only because they are cute, but also because dogs can accompany humans to spend many wonderful time. But when a dog cannot produce puppies naturally, how to solve it?  

First, when the dog is fertile, we should consider taking it to the veterinarian. The veterinarian will check the dog's body and perform a series of physical examinations on the dog to determine the dog's fertility. This test is very important because it can rule out the possibility of organic disease in dogs. If the veterinarian has diagnosed that the dog has organic diseases, then we should treat these diseases in a timely manner.

Secondly, if the dog has no fertility problems, then we can try using artificial insemination.

This method requires the use of special equipment and technology to collect the semen of male dogs and then inject them into the female dog's body. This method can increase the chance of a dog getting pregnant, but it requires some technology and experience. Therefore, we need to find a professional veterinarian or dog raising expert to assist us in artificial insemination.

Third, if there is a problem with the dog's fertility and we do not want to adopt artificial insemination methods, then we can consider adopting a puppy. As owners of a dog, we should care not only about our own dogs, but also about puppies looking for families among stray animals. In animal shelters or rescue organizations, there are many cute puppies waiting to be adopted. Rather than trying to have our dogs having children multiple times, it’s better to provide a warm home for puppies.

Fourth, if we do need to breed dogs, then we should choose a breeding base. The breeding base is a place specializing in dog breeding, which usually have many healthy breeding dogs and professional breeding staff who can provide us with professional breeding services. When choosing a breeding base, we should choose a good base to understand their breeding management system and the health of the dog.

In short, when a dog cannot give birth to a puppy, we should ask a veterinarian for further examination, judge the dog's fertility, and then choose the appropriate solution according to the situation, so as not to make our dogs overly fatigued and physically discomfort. Raising a dog is a responsibility and obligation and we should provide the best care and life for our dogs.
