Experimenting with dog breeding with the hope of getting dogs with a better physical condition or qualities is not something new. Breeding however becomes difficult when the female is not willing 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 perhaps 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 perfectly ethical 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 usually used for the breeding of fighting dogs because dogs which have been trained to fight all their lives might rip each other to pieces when attempting to breed naturally so the female is attached to the dog breeding stand so that the breeding process could be completed safely. The device allows the male to mount her safely as she cannot turn back to bite the male. These critics also charge 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.'

However those who support the use of the dog breeding stand argue that it's one method to assure the safety of both the male and the female when the dogs in question are simply too fierce. They also say that when it comes to breeding between dogs that are quite different in height the dog breeding stand is a suitable option. The fact that the female could lie down if she is exhausted while breeding is going on is another point that used by the group to argue their case. They believe the use of a dog breeding stand is reasonable in such a situation.

Options like artificial insemination are open to those dog owners who are not willing to use the breeding stand in the case of an unwilling female and advice should be sought from a breeding expert in such a case.
