I raised two dogs on a tough schedule. People will tell you you can't and no. It's up to you to decide if you have the energy before and after work to make up for the time you're away. You could also think of work as night. if you were sleeping, 9-6 would be about appropriate. You'll just be a busy cracker the rest of the time. Dogs adjust and love, regardless of circumstance, and I'm sure a home with you is better than some of the homes out there with dogs. You could also consider having a friend or hiring a company to swing in midday and let her out and play with her or walk her. With summer around the corner, you could find a reliable young dog lover to help you out who may be grateful for a token amount. If you can afford her, want her, and feel you can give her the time when you're not at work, get your puppy. (Hopefully) Happy Puppy Raising!

Smaller dogs tend to have more problems with pregnancy than large dogs. The puppies tend to be larger in comparison to the mothers size than larger breeds. They tend to have smaller litters, and the puppies tend to have more health problems due to the mother not being able to provide enough nutrition to all the puppies. If you value your dog as a pet and not a breeder I would not breed her again. The best advice would be to ask your vet. They will give you a more informed decision about the health of your dog than we can here.

Obviously if she had problems first time around, it's only going to be worse the older she gets.. Have her spayed.. It's not worth risking lives for if she has had problems in the past.
Edit : that's not true, dogs having trouble in their first litters but it gets better each litter.. If you do things properly, breed when the dog is of correct age, and know what you are doing.. Know the signs of labour etc.. Healthy dog the first litter is not a practice litter that has problems and you get better.. A dog that has a bunch of problems naturally, normally continues to have problems in future litters.

No! Your just another irresponsible breeder. There is only 3 reasons you should breed.
1. You show your dog or your dog is a AKC champion.
2. your breeding to better the breed.
3. Your dogs has had health test, for example elbows and hips tested.
Obvious none of thease have been done, Spay your dog.

First of all Brianna, you should be talking to your vet about this- and since there are SO many animals not wanted in this country, breeding is a bad idea, especially for your dog who already had a litter and problems.
Please get your animal spayed--the humane society will have a vet do it for you for less than going to the vets if you can't afford to pay for it.

NO
Get her spayed. Honestly, do you want to risk losing your dog or more puppies? Save her the misery of another traumic experience and help us all cut down on the pet overpopulation....

Brianna,
The trouble that your dog had means that she'll probably have the same trouble again. Do want to risk losing HER maybe the next time? Bostons are notorious hard whelpers and prone to needing vet intervention. You know what's coming next; - why are you breeding when there are so many Boston terriers that need homes? You gotta know that coming into this forum that people are going to reply like that. But its true, a drag but true. Nature is trying to tell you the answer that you know already. Please dont breed your dog again.

No, any dog that struggles health wise with a litter should be spayed ASAP, period. Thank you though, for helping point out breedings do not go all 'fun' and 'easy' like so many assume. Do the right thing, spay her, don't risk her life again.

I'm assuming you're not a breeder. If I were you, I'd get my dog spayed. There are plenty of puppies in the humane shelter... no need to add more.

If you dog has already had trouble having pups or any health problems, you should have her spayed. Do not breed her again. You run the risk of her dying during the birthing process.
