Question

my dog is now only 7 weeks by the way. and I dont think I wanna let her mix with 2 male dogs cause both of them are large dogs. thanks for answering.help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

1. No she will no longer be subject to having a heat cycle of any kind.

2. A spay is the removal of all reproductive organs inside the female.

3. No, she will no longer attract males through smell or any other way.

4. Some vets will do pediatric spays but some will not, it just depends on your vet. Most will be happy to spay a female around the age of 6 months which is still before their first heat cycle. Most females will not have their first heat until at least 8 months of age.

5. Good on you for being a responsible owner and looking after your dogs well-being. I wish their were more owners like you out there!

Answer 2

No she will not cycle, leave blood stains OR attract male dogs (other than normal indrest in another dog) because yes they remove the entier repro organ.
6 months is the traditional spay time hopefully just before the first heat. However a few small dogs will cycle eairler - check with her breeder - there is some heritity in this so when her mom & relatives started will give you a clue.
THere is NO chance of her getting preg unless she is in heat (you can tell by the bloody discharge) so no danger of that from letting her mingle - but you do want to supervise since if she starts a quarrel they are bigger and she'd loose

Answer 3

If you don't want more puppies and more fighting neuter AND spay all the dogs. Spaying is more costly, but in both cases, you prevent a lot of health problems (cancers and/or pyrometra). Unneutered males will be more aggressive and mark all over and more likely to get out of the yard and breed when any female is in heat. If you can't do them all together, do the females first and then the males. IMO once everyone is spayed and neutered, it won't matter much whether you keep a male or a female from the litter.

Answer 4

You've been told answers to 1, 2 & 3. (No, Ovaries & much of the uterus, No)

There is no best age to neuter.
I normally recommend that people wanting to spay a ****** wait until a month after she has had her first season, to give her time to be hormonally mature, even if not physically & mentally mature. But unless your 2 males are neutered or you can absolutely GUARANTEE that you can keep her away from them and any neighbourhood strays, that is NOT a good idea in your case.
I don't know the maturation rate of Jack Russells. In my breed the first heat tends to occur at 6-to-9 months old, but can be at as young as 4 months or as old as 16 months.
Do NOT spay while she's on-heat - there is too much risk of haemorrhages at that stage.

Read http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/LongTermHealthEffectsOfSpayNeuterInDogs.pdf to see the advantages & consequences of spaying at various ages, but I think you are going to have to go for the "too early" option, unless both males ARE neutered before she comes on-heat.

Answer 5

1) no she will not get any heats if she is spayed.
2)removal of all reproductive organs.
3)She won't produe the scent to attract teh males if spayed.
4) I have had it done at 5 months htey usually don't come into heat until 6 months.

Another suggestion
get your males fixed as well
It will prevent them trying to wonder off
help prevent some cancers for males not being used for breeding.

Answer 6

After we spayed our JRT, she had a problem with her bleeding afterwards. I believe they remove the uterus and the ovaries, during this operation.
She will no longer attract all of the dogs and she will not smell like females dogs who are on heat. Also, if you have her spayed before her first cycle you'll cut her risk of certain breast cancers. I was advised to do this by my vet and my dog Chloe came through it great.

Answer 7

You can have your pup spayed at 6 months old (but keep and eye on her she could go into heat as early as 4 months). She will not bleed any more, she will not have the smell any more. They remove the ovaries when they do the surgery. You should also have your males neutered too.

Answer 8

spay/neuter all your dogs
they wont have cancer in the balls as they grow older and they live longer
same goes for females except' they dont have balls
