From experience we had an unexpected mating between father and daughter. They can get pregnant and from what I have learned. I would suggest not to condone interbreeding because my dog had a premature delivery of 9 days and 2 of the pups had to be put down because of horrific birth defects (bilateral cleft pallet, intestines on the outside of body). Plus the one pup was delivered naturally. The rest were delivered via c-section which caused my dog a lot of stress and cost more than it is worth.

No, the dam (mother) and litter should have their own safe space away from other dogs. The dam can be very protective of her litter and the sire wont feel any paternal links, he'll just pose a risk. It's a disaster waiting to happen if you allow the sire access.

Yes she can breed with her father, but that doesn't mean it's something you should let happen. When a female dog comes into heat, she doesn't care who breeds her and is the same with the male when a bitch is in heat. A lot of folks think a brother and sister or Father & daughter, etc. will never breed. This is completely false. As long as one bitch is in heat and the male smells this, they will breed. It is up to us humans to prevent this type of inbreeding.

If you don't plan on breeding then spay or neuter your dog. It will help them to live a longer life and a much healthier life, cuts down the risks of many types of cancers that will attack an intact female or intact male, such as mammary tumors, infections of the uterus such as pyometria, perianal tumors or prostate cancer.

Due to the parents will be so closely related, there is an increased chance of ending up with congenital defects in the pups as a result of inbreeding. It is not a chance any responsible breeder would take, as the health of any pups would be the most important consideration.

A father-daughter (or mother-son or full sibling) mating would be risky, at best. The more closely related the parents, the greater the chance of their offspring suffering from an inherited disorder. This is because when animals are related to each other they are far more likely to be carrying the same defective genes. When these defective genes pair up in the offspring, inherited diseases occur. Inherited diseases can cause significant suffering and reduce quality of life for the offspring.

Does your average dad help with a newborn baby?

He should, or he's a cad for not doing this. Mom and Dad should share all the responsibilities of caring for the newborn equally, and that includes changing diapers. Treasure these moments - the kids will be grown and out of the house before you know it.


What happens if my parents try to mate with they're own puppies Should i neuter the puppies Or will the mum and dad still try to mate with them And will the parents still have interest in each other?

You could have puppies with birth defects when the parents mate with the puppies. If you plan on keeping them all together, you should neuter the puppies. The mum and dad will be interested in each other the next time the mum goes into heat.

How many puppies can a malshi have?

it depends on the size of the mother and father. if the male is smaller and the female is larger then, it is more likely to have more but small puppies. then again, if you have a small female and a large male, then it is likely to have just a couple of large puppies. i have small males and large females, so my littler are usually bigger and i love small puppies, so i can thank the dad for that. good luck!
