Dogs - November 2007

Initially we had wanted to breed our two chihuahuas, but not till the 2nd heat at least. well now, that the female is in heat (1st), the male is soooo clingy, he whines when he is not by her, or sometimes he whines when hes by her but cant do anything to her ( she has panties on to prevent any penetration),

What i was wondering is, if we neuter him, and not spay her, will he still act this way in the future when she goes into heat. or will it stop. (personally i think he will still do it but not sure). OR visa versa.

we also have a female maltipoo. will we have the same problem with her. we would like to breed, the chihuahuas, and then eventually breed the maltipoo with a poodle. but now i'm not so sure if i want to do that, and have to put up with the males behavior. we have a pet store that would sell the puppies for us. and were really good friends with the owner.

I'm just really looking for insight as to what you all think.

thank you in advance.

My dog is part lab, she adopted me about a year and a half ago. I thought she couldn't get pregnant, due to her age. I think she is about eight. She is now pregnant and I don't know how to tell when she is ready to have her pups. I want to make sure she doesn't have problems because of her age.

My friend has a person staying with them. That person has a 4 week old black puppy that is infested with fleas and he won't wash it and won't let me wash it. I just feel terrible that the dog has to suffer so much.

My 5 month old lab has gotten into a nasty habit of not wanting to be in her crate when i'm home. It's not like i just put her in all day, I do it when i need to study or clean or cook dinner. She used to be really good about being in her crate, but now she just barks and whines, and i'm not sure what to do. I live in an apartment complex so i'm afraid she's disturbing other people. I don't want her to think that she can bark to get out of the crate, but after 10 minutes, i can't take it anymore, and am afraid that the person who shares a wall with me is being disturbed.

Do you belive theres a proper way to breed dogs and that there should be breeders in the world?

Some people belive that there should be no breeders that we should All Adopt.. i do adopt but i also breed for this reason... to keep Healthy blood lines going... think of this.. what happens what all the dogs at shelters are found homes.. and all the other dogs are fixed... Then what? we lose our dogs.. or mutts (not as a bad term) who havent been fixed are now used.. with bloodlines, not impure.. but unknown.. Good breeders Check the bloodlines and strive to breed Out bad heretitary problems...

There are also people every day wanting to breed... and get yelled at about wanting to... what if there was someone to Teach them the Correct way to breed?

Please think of this before you answer...

She is a mini dachshund, and she is only 4 months old. I rescued her brother and her two months ago. They have never been apart, and, at night, they sleep in their crate together. I just this morning realized that she began her first estrous cycle! I was just at the vet's a couple weeks ago, and he told me to bring them in to be spayed and neutered when they were six months old. I haven't noticed any mating, but they were crated together all night. She may already be pregnant. I plan to call the vet in the morning, but I was reading online that most vets won't do a spay while a dog is in heat. Is that true? I know I can get the male neutered, but what if the damage is already done? Am I stuck with puppies? Isn't she too young to have puppies? My friend told me they would spay her even if she is pregnant, but that just seems wrong considering they wouldn't spay her two weeks ago because she was too small. She weighs less than six pounds. What should I do?

We got a miniature Pomeranian a few months ago, and he was really expensive. We took really good care of him at first, and now my mom doesn't care about him at all. She threw him outside in the yard and keeps him chained up. It's so sad. She never bathes him, hardly feeds him, and refuses to try and potty train him and bring him in. It's horrible. But she won't give him to someone who will take good care of him because my dad doesn't want to. It makes me so mad and I feel so bad about the poor dog. I don't understand why my parents want to keep him around when they don't give a damn about him. We've already had two people offer to take him off her hands, and she just keeps him. I really want to do something about it, but I don't know what to do.

I feel so bad because the dog is outside 24/7 in the freezing cold. How do I convince her to let me take care of him or give him away to someone who will?
