my dog was fenced in and the other dog jumped my fence. I found him in my yard a total of 3 times. He was left out roaming the for 5 days in a row.Animal control was ntified and a complaint was filed on the 3rd occasion when we finally figured out where he lived. I would also like to know my options to preserve the breeding rights of my precious Gretchen who is only 3years old this October and was planned to have been bred for the 1st time in her next heat.

You're pretty much out of luck. You've learned why you NEVER leave a female in season unattended outside, even in a fenced yard.

This by no means is a legal opinion. Only a lawyer can give you that. But to have a female dog in heat left alone out side is like waving a big flag saying here she is. Male dogs will go to great lengths to get to her. Depending on wind currents that male may have jumped his own fence. And if your fence had been higher he would have tried to dig underneath.
If you can prove negligence on the other owners part and a financial loss to you there may be reason to go to court.
But make sure that you can prove you did all you could to prevent it.

it costs nothing to call the vet and ask these same questions but as far as I know in order you asked them: puppy food because of the nutrients no possibly depends, NO! only if active labor goes on for too long with no puppy (to both questions,this is what you ask the vet about and needing to let them know that the dog is pregnant so that they can be on standby) it depends on where she can find that she's most comfortable in the house to give birth and when. She may have to change her mind or lose the dog, if she can't deliver a puppy after a certain period of time the puppy will die and it will poison her and kill her too! You must get the vet on the phone and explain the situation to them and have them get it through her thick head. Because if the dog can't deliver a puppy and it will ultimately kill the mother dog. Also your grandmother can be charge and animal neglect which is against the law.

There are NO legal options. You should know better than to leave a female in heat unattended in a yard. Don't you know that it's common for dogs to breed through chain link fences? Jumping a fence is pretty common. It's a shame it happened, but you should have either been with your dog or left her in your house.

I think the only legal action against the owner of the other dog is violation of the leash law (if there is one in your area). Where I live, I have the right to shoot the straying animal if it endangers or violates livestock on my property. The owner is responsible for control of their pets. Check with your local juridiction. Otherwise let the pregancy come to term and give the puppies away. Your dog shouldn't be compromised in any way in respect to future planned pregancies. The puppies will still be pure bred. You might also try to raise the fence higher. You can't be expected to keep the dog inside all the time.

don't listen to these people! your dog was fenced! it's the neglect of the other owner, not you!!!!! I'm not sure what you can legally do , but i do know now that she has gotten pregnant by that dog, her puppies will all be mixed until the third or forth time she is breed!! i would just have her fixed so not to produce many unwanted puppies! they will not be able to be sold!! you may consider having her fixed now! if the puppies are not formed yet the vet. can still do it but will charge you a little extra!! sorry to hear of this!!!

If you can prove the other owner as negligent and that you have suffered a true economic impact you will likely be able to collect. Call a lawyer and they will be able to help you better.

Did your dog lead him on or act in a suggestive or slutty manner? If so he'll probably beat the charge.

just take them to small claims court, that way u don't have to deal with lawyers and stuff. small claims court will cost u about 65.00 but if u win then u get reimbursed and the other party will have to pay + what they have to pay u for damages
