What causes low conception rates in dogs?
Low conception rates in dogs are closely related to individual differences, malnutrition, reproductive system diseases, and poor breeding management. Conception rates vary considerably between breeds — for example, Chow Chows and Corgis generally have higher rates, while Yorkies and Bichons are relatively lower. Body condition and age also affect conception. Malnutrition is another cause; unbalanced or excessive nutrition can affect the dog's health and lower conception rates. In addition, reproductive diseases such as endometritis and uterine fibroids may be responsible. Many factors influence conception, so to improve it, owners should ensure the dog's health and quality of life.
