my dog is 1 years old and she hasent getten her period!!?

Question

my pupie hasent gotten her period and we want to breed her so what should we doooo???HELP!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

And she never will. Dogs don't have periods the go in to ESTRUS or what is also referred to as HEAT. It is the exact opposite of a period. Periods occur as a result of not becoming pregnant and estrus is preparing the uterus to accept pregnancy.

Answer 2

I'm not upset that you haven't been able to breed your dog. If you can't figure out how to use spell check you probably won't be able to figure out how to take care of a mother- to -be and puppies. Spell check is MUCH easier!

Where did you get the dog? If she came from a rescue organization or shelter, she has been spayed. If not, she has probably already had a season and you didn't realize it. It happens all the time. I took in a beautiful 18 month old female cocker spaniel right before Christmas. Her former owners swore she had never been bred, but almost 6 weeks ago she had 4 puppies. They told me it probably happened at my house!

All of my males are neutered and you can tell by looking at the puppies the father was either a Lhasa Apso or a Shih Tzu. Forget the fact that a dog's gestational period is 62-63 days and she had barely been at my house for a month when she had the puppies. Unfortunately these well meaning morons (I can call them that-- it's my brother who owned the dog) didn't believe a small male (they have a Lhasa/ Shih tzu mix) could get to a female as big as a spaniel!

I am serious, you SHOULD not breed puppies. There are way too many unwanted puppies in the United States and I urge everyone to be a responsible pet owner have your pets spayed or neutered.

I bred cocker spaniels for a long time, but I quit doing it because I saw all the beautiful puppies at cocker spaniel rescue. One of the main reason shelter deaths are down is because of the the number of pure breed rescue organizations. In most shelters you can no longer find pure breed dogs. They go to breed specific rescue groups that keep them in foster situations until they are placed which can take years.

Answer 3

First, really think about why you want to breed her, there are too many dogs already. Second... take her to a vet before you do to make sure she's a good healthy dog to carry a litter. Breeding a dog properly to have healthy puppies is EXPENSIVE, don't take short cuts and comprimise the mother or the puppies health.

Now your answer, her body isn't ready and nothing you're going to do will change that. She won't come into heat until all her reproductive parts are mature enough to breed. You also shouldn't really be breeding her at 1. Its healthiest for a dog to wait until its 2 so its fully mature. Consider the fact that your dog is going to be walking on 4 legs with the weight of puppies in her belly and her back is going to have to support that. Also, are you sure she's not spayed? Some breeders will do this before they sell the puppies to make sure that people don't breed their pups, they're being sold as companion animals and that's how they want them to stay.

Answer 4

Some dogs start later than others. If you are not waning to breed her i would get her fixed now because when she does start, it's going to cost more. They like to spay them before they start there period it easier on the dog.

Answer 5

There is nothing you can do to bring it on, but your dog will soon
start bleeding. Some dogs take longer than others to have
their first heat. Just like woman, some start early and others
don't. Just be patient. It will happen soon.

Answer 6

Get her spayed now. If you have to ask questions as simple as this here on YaHoo then you have absolutely no business even considering breeding.

Answer 7

Patience is a virtue. It will come.

Answer 8

no problem, just wait a little it might start later, its just like humans, some start early and some start a little late, she will eventually start

Answer 9

What a pity!

Answer 10

be glad its a hassle
