Can two puppies have puppies?

Question

We got our purebred Schnoodles from a great breeder, or so we thought. We got two from the same litter, a male and female as we were told they'd fight less. But she told us that sister and brothers wouldn't try and mate, as that would be inbreeding. The are about 7 months old now, and the other day they were...well...you know. So is this just playing, or can they have puppies? Also, the girl seems to be on her period, how long will this last?A week or so?Thanks!

Answer 1

Sure is possible! I cannot even believe your breeder lied to you and told you that they "wouldn't try to mate"!!!! Nothing is more false! They can and WILL have puppies unless you do the responsible thing and have both fixed.

B*tches can go into heat as young as 7 months. Dogs do not get their period, they go into heat. A heat cycle is the complete opposite of a human period. Heat cycles last -on average- 18-22 days.

If your female is in heat I guarentee you she will probably get pregnant. You need to call your veterinarian and have her spayed ASAP. She is MUCH too young to have a litter... she could die as a result.

Answer 2

First there's no such thing as a 'purebred' Schnoodle. They are mutts not a breed. Second, no reputable breeder would have produced these dogs so what you got are BYB Schnoodles. Third, your 'breeder' is an idiot if she told you the dogs wouldn't mate because that's inbreeding. The dogs don't even know that they're related, they have no concept of that. They can and will breed unless you get them fixed and the puppies will inherit whatever genetic diseases they are carriers of. Inbreeding isn't necessarily bad but it's only to be undertaken by a breeder who know their line of dogs like the back of their hands. Because inbreeding brings out recessive traits that will either make a dog a little better than both parents or genetic nightmares. Do the responsible thing and spay/neuter your dogs.

Answer 3

Although they're seven months old, sure they can breed. Your breeder is not a great breeder. No matter they are brother-sister or not, dogs do breed whenever the female is in heat. What a liar and try to sell you two litter mates. You should call your vet immediately and schedule for spay/neuter. You don't need accidental puppies because your two dogs are still puppies.
BTW, Schnoodles are mutts from Schnauzer and Poodle.

Answer 4

first.. they are not purebreds. You have 2 Schnauzer/Poodle mixes.. yes, you heard me right, they are mutts.

That was a huge lie from the breeder. Brother and Sister will indeed mate. It is inbreeding, but dogs dont understand that concept. Not a good idea, as any pups they have could have health issues or deformities.

7 months old.. they are both reaching sexual maturity. They are still puppies and really are not mature.. basically the equivelence of 14 year old humans... not mature enough physically or mentally for babies, but they know how to "do the deed"!

The female is in heat.. she is quite able to become pregnant. Heat cycle lasts about 3 weeks. Although if your male tied with her, she may be pregnant.

I highly reccommend you contact the vet about having her spayed. Normally its reccommended to wait until the heat cycle is over to spay, to wait till any swelling or bleeding is reduced, but now you may need to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Its much safer for her to go thru a heat spay than to go thru a pregnancy and whelping.

You will want to get the male neutered soon as well.

Spaying and Neutering prevents certain types of cancers. It curbs alot of behavoiral issues, including roaming, marking, humping and aggression. Spaying a female prevents pyometra, a serious and fatal uterine infection.

Answer 5

You've taken quite a bit of flak already because you think your dogs are purebred so now you know that they are indeed mongrels. Not that that matters really, if you love them, they're still very special to you. Please, though listen to the good advice about taking them to the vet and soon. If your girl and boy mate, which they will, the result could be awful for your girl - she's much too young to have puppies. It's a shame you can't really post the address of the breeder you got them from, that person is not being honest with buyers. Your pups parents may even have originally come from the same litter too. I hope it all works out well for you all.

Answer 6

Males and females of the same littler will mate and there is no such thing as a purebred schnoodle. They are mixed breeds. Your female is in heat and will get pregnant - dogs don't know about inbreeding. Get them spayed and neutered. Your breeder is a total idiot.

Answer 7

1. Schnoodles are not purebred... they are mixed breeds
2. Dogs will breed whether or not they are related
3. Heat cycle is a minimum of 21 days
4. Breeding an 8 mos old b*tch is the height of irresponsibility. Do NOT risk her life and her future health by allowing her to have puppies now!! Get her SPAYED!!!

Answer 8

i don't know where you brought these pups from but sounds as if the breeder was just in it for the money.you say your pups have mated well i would take the female to the vets immediately and speak to the vet about giving her something to abort any pups as a pregnancy at this age cannot only effect the pups it could end up killing the mother. a season usually lasts about 3 weeks.
has for the boy unless you want to use him as a show dog or stud then have him neutered as soon as possible this will stop him from having the urge and also wandering if he gets out.
has the female have her spayed if you don't want pups because there will always be a chance of another dog getting to her in the future and it is also kinder as it will stop any serious health problems in the future.
good luck

Answer 9

You sure the breeder did not say shouldn't be allowed to mate. Schnoodles are not purebred, I am sure you know that by now. Have the female and males fixed a.s.a.p.

Answer 10

Well, the CLUE was that any "breeder" selling SCHNOODLES is NOT a great breeder.

You need to SPAY AND NEUTER NOW!!!!!!! They will breed and have lots of messed up little schnoodles.

And there is NO such thing as a PUREBRED schnoodle!!! They are mutts, mixes, crossbreeds...whatever you care to call it, that is what they are!!!!!!!! Two purebreds bred together DO NOT make more purebreeds when they are of two seperate breeds!!!!
