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 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 probably 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 conflicting opinions who claim that the dog breeding stand is perfectly ethical and defends the use of the device. Deciding whether the use of the device is ethical or not is indeed tough and perhaps its best seen as a tool in the hands of dog owner and the morality depending on the decisions 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 whole process may 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 prepared to breed 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. This group also points out that the female might lie down if she gets tired while breeding which makes the breeding process complicated. They believe the use of a dog breeding stand is acceptable in such a situation.
