Yes, if their male dog is not altered- he will do anything to get to her. They will need to be kept in separate rooms- not separated by a gate or anything because the male will jump it or else they can breed right through it. You probably should keep your dog indoors when she is in heat as well, because all the unaltered males in the neighborhood will be showing up at your door. Like I said they can mate through the fence believe it or not. The best option really would be to get you animals altered so there wouldn't be any problems. Being as she is only 5 months old she is WAY too young to be bred anyways. You roommate will need to ewatch her female as well- it is very unhealthy for her to have puppies this young. I think you need to be a responsible pet owner and get your animals fixed, we already have an ever growing poulation of unwanted pets in the country without bringing more puppies into this world that at this age would most definately be unhealthy!

Yeah! The male will want to mate needless to say, but you might have a problem with the females battling over top *****. That can really pose a problem. And I don't know how tough the Akita is but, a Pit is tough. I would watch them very closely. Especially when they come into season. Also, if there is any sign of aggresion, separate them. Don't shrug it off that it will be the only time. Usually the warning comes first.

If none of them are neutered, yes, there will be major trouble. The male pit will destroy anything in its path to get to your Akita. And do you REALLY want to raise pit-bull/Akita mix puppies? Also, when a female dog goes into heat, she menstruates. This means you will be cleaning up blood from your carpets and other flooring every time she goes into heat.

Oh yea, there will be big trouble. two females and a male, there will definitely be problems. Once ur akita reaches her adulthood, and she doesn't even have to be an adult to go into heat the pitbull will definitely try and get a little ot alot. You will have to keep them separated or u are going to have a bunch of mixed puppies. And believe me its going to be hard becuz u will have to keep an eye on the dogs all the tyme. Do u have a fence or anything to keep them apart? My male went after my female everyday more than twice a day for the whole tyme she waas in heat and she gave birth to 7 puppies. SO if u don't want to have uuuuan unwanted litter have ur dog spaded.

Well you can bet your butt the Pitbull will try to do the deed with your dog if the female Pitbull isnt fixed and she goes into heat at the same time you might see some agression. My advice would be to get the dog fixed before she has her first heat. It can be pricey but there are alot of programs out there to help people spay and neuter their pets.

Yes. Please get your dog (and his) altered! Not only will there be a risk of the two unaltered females fighting, when they're in heat, but the male may decide to go after both females, instead of sticking to his own breed.
Tell your roommate, that if he plans on breeding his two dogs, that the female should be 2 yrs old first.

No matter what the breed of dog you will always have trouble when your male and females are not properly spaded and neutered.
I suggest during that time or her cycle to keep her away from all male dogs. Especially pit bulls. Pit bulls are known to be extremely aggressive when doing the deed and it will be hard to pull the male off of her.
She is too young to be breeding.

The biggest mistake made by owners of pit bull type dogs is that they leave them alone with other dogs. A pit bull should NEVER be left alone with another dog, not even another pit bull and not even if they were raised together from day one.
All of the dogs should be separated when no one is there to supervise. Leaving them alone can have you coming home to a dead dog, maybe two, maybe all three.

When she goes into heat the only trouble you will have are puppies a few months later. You have two females so I wouldn't worry about fighting, but if you had two males and the female went into heat, then that could be bad...very bad.

Like DUH, of course there will be trouble. Get those dogs fixed, if you're not a breeder then you are subjecting the female to higher cancer risk, pyometra, and unwanted puppies. And the male has no business being intact, he will fight, run away, and has a high risk of cancer as well. For heaven's sake people, have you looked at the pound lately? How many of those homeless dogs and puppies look exactly like a cross between your dogs?
