I have a 6 month old male pitbull and a 2 year old 8lb. chihuahua who is in heat. Can he get her pregnant?

Question

I have to keep her tied up since she keeps going over to him. The thing is I don't think he can reach her, but I don't want to take the chance. How long should I keep her away from him and tied up. She gets all excited and as soon as I let her loose she runs over to him. The funny thing is the pitbull's like 8 times her size. I think she just started going to him yesterday.

Answer 1

Yes a Six month old male may be able to breed a female in heat to be on the saf side keep them apart. Consult a veterinarian for any more information on this subject.

The heat cycle for a female is approximately 21 days from first sign of blood to the end of the heat. the critical days are around the 7-14 days and afterif your chihuahua is going to your male then she is seeking to get Pregnant and is within the last part of the cycle. Again consult with your veterinarian for guidance on this subject.

Answer 2

When her heat swelling goes down he should lose interest. Next, please keep them far apart for now as he could kill her trying to mate! An old friend had a bulldog that killed a young rottie that way... :-( You should probably get one or both fixed to avoid this problem in the future too... Good luck!!!

Answer 3

KEEP HER AWAY FROM HIM FOR 3 WEEKS! Take no chances that he will breed her or it will kill her. Have the male fixed or her fixed or both.

Answer 4

Yes! You might want to think about getting one fixed. I have see a pug Bull Mastiff mix Think about that one.

Answer 5

Don't let this happen you could kill the smaller dog when she has to give birth to large puppies!

Answer 6

Get them both fixed and you have to worry about it.
