when should dogs have babies??

Question

should my dog have a baby at 10 months?
and my puppy hasnt bin on heat yet and she is 10 months what is wrong??

Answer 1

Vets recommend she should not have puppies until she is at least a 2 years old to make sure her body if full formed and able to carry puppies that will come out healthy. And if she isn't a purebred, you probably shouldn't be breeding her because anymore that is what people want to buy, not mixed breed. Mixed breeds seem to be the ones who wind up at the shelter and just thrown out when a newer better dog comes along. She probably doesn't have anything wrong, she just may not have come into heat yet or like the person above said, she may have had a silent heat. You really should discuss breeding your dog with your vet and find out what their recommendation would be as far as when and if she is healthy enough to carry puppies. They may want you to start her on vitamins before she is red, update her vaccs, ect. Good Luck and please talk with your vet.

Answer 2

What breed is your dog? Larger breeds often don't come into heat the first time until they're around a year old. If your dog is a small breed, she might have had a silent heat.

Regardless, a 10 month old puppy is much, much too young to have puppies herself. You could cause permanent skeletal damage to her. For your puppy's health, she should be spayed.

Answer 3

Go to the local animal shelter, humane society, or pound, and see all the unwanted animals. These people dedicate a large amount of their time and energy to trying to provide homes for animals. Even so, you can see how many are there. Now imagine how hard you'll work to get homes for 2-3 puppies. Now imagine your dog has a big litter. We had a dog that gave birth to 9 pups once!

Then take your dog to the vet and get her neutered.

Answer 4

Your dog should NOT have puppies EVER.WHY BUY WHEN SHELTER DOGS DIE?????/ Think it over.......Only serious , experienced, (which u cannot possibly be or you would not need to ask this question ),LICENSED breeders of PURE BRED dogs should even be allowed to breed in my opinion . Of course that is just my opinion but maybe hundreds of thousands of sweet and worthy dogs would not die daily across this country if breeding just for fun or because owner is too cheap or too lazy to get a spay done (I AM NOT ACCUSING YOU OF THIS JUST TALKING IN GENERAL TERMS) . Also if your poor pup (WHO IS WAY WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE A MOM EVEN IF SHE DOES GO INTO HEAT!!!!!) does have to give birth have you considered the cost of raising up this litter RESPONSIBLY for the 10-12 weeks prior to adopting them out????/ Puppy shots and worming on EACH pup???/ food for all when Mom's ready to wean them? How about the mess they leave DAILY for you to clean up ? And do you plan to just allow the highest bidder (if u are selling ) or the first person to answer your ad to have a pup? What if they are aniaml abusers or even worse what if they collect pups to sell to labs for research?????? unless you are willing to take this chance then you must also consider the MANY HOURS involved in doing home checks and calling vets and neighbors of the prospective new families in order to ensure GOOD< SAFE< FOREVER homes for these innocent babes............I hope you read all these answers and give this some SERIOUS thought before making such an irresponsible decision as allowing your dog to breed. ITS NOT OKAY> Not for your young dog and not for the cages n cages full of GOOD dogs who will die so another irresponsible family can have one of YOUR PUPS> Sorry to sound so rough but we own and operate a pit bull n large dog rescue so I do know of what I speak.PLEASE DO NOT BREED>>>>>>>>>>>>DO THE RIGHT THING FOR YOUR DOG

Answer 5

i might say supply him a raffle. do no longer pass away the toddler and the dogs on my own at the same time and exhibit screen interplay. Its in comparison to he has been growling at or attempting to attack your baby. became the toddler doing something whilst the dogs bit her? maximum in all probability it became a warning - an "i do in comparison to this, and biting is how i might warn yet another dogs" sort of warning. They the two might desire to income (and could learn) a thank you to have interplay with one yet another. This being mentioned, in the adventure that your toddler became minding her very own corporation and the dogs is jealous (for despite reason) then i might propose removing the dogs at present, because of the fact who's familiar with how far jealousy ought to pass.

Answer 6

Dogs are not mature enought to have puppies until at LEAST 2 years.I agree with the others though. She needs to be spayed.

Answer 7

NO, she should not have puppies at 10 months old. it could cause serious problems for her because she is not fully developed.
dogs shouldnt have their first litter until they are at least 1.5 years old.

you may not have noticed she was on heat - some dogs lick themselves, so you may not have seen, particularly if she is an outside dog.

take her to a vet and get her SPAYED!

Answer 8

Never, unless it belongs to a serious breeder. Get her fixed. There are enough pets in shelters as it is.

Answer 9

she needs two be at least 2 years old, mature

Answer 10

At least one year to have a birth.The important thing is that female dog must have at least one time to have a birth because it will make a cancer disease.
