My dog Mr. wiggles is neutered and this other dog named muffin is not spayed and my dog and always locking to her and she lets it...is it the sigh of mating?
Yes, male neutered dogs can mate with females who are in heat. No puppies will result from this mating. Female dogs who are not going to be bred should be spayed after their first heat in order to eliminate the chances of mammary cancer and pyrometria.
Can a females dog's period be deadly?
Technically it's not a "period." Oestrus in female dogs can in fact be dangerous; they can develop an infection in their cervix, and it's possible for this to be fatal. The condition is called pyrometria, is similar in effect and symptoms to appendicitis, and usually happens at the close of oestrus. You may want to monitor your dog closely during this time for fever, lack of appetite, excessive thirst, or lethargy and take her to the veterinarian immediately if she shows signs of illness. It's more common in older dogs.
How do you sue a owner who dog impregnanted your dog?
Number one point is that your dog had to have been in heat in order for her to become pregnant. So how did that male dog get to your female? Was she running loose? Did he jump into the back yard? You need to either spay your female (which would be the best way) or keep her contained in a kennel or pen that has a top on it during her heat period. You have a responsibility to keep her contained securely during her heat period just as well as the owner of the male dog has a responsibility to keep their dog contained. Try talking nicely to the owner of the male dog and explain that their dog should be kept up in a fenced in yard or a kennel and not allowed to roam free. That is called being an irresponsible dog owner. If they continue to allow their dog to roam free then the animal shelter or local Pound can be called to pick up the dog. If your female is not a show dog to be bred to better the breed then she should be spayed after having her pups. She will live a longer and healthier life is she is spayed. Will cut down the risks of mammary cancer, uterine cancer, pyrometria, perianal tumors, etc.
Is it safe for a 4 year old female dog to breed?
Please do not breed your dog this young. Wait 1 more year; she will not have as much trouble birthing, raising and caring for her litter. Because of this, she'll have fast growing, healthy puppies. If bred under 18months, she may have birthing problems, and because she is still a puppy, she could neglect her own puppies. If you catch your dog being bred, take her to the vet with 24hours. It is possible to prevent the pregnancy. If it is too late, care for her carefully, help her with her puppies, and then, unless she is a correct, quality dog that was simply bred accidentally, please spay her. She has already produced a litter that may be put down in animal shelters, and she may escape and/ or be bred again.
How old do dogs have to be before you can breed from them?
This is a subjective question that really depends on the breed. Large breeds need to be at least, 3 years old while smaller breeds should be around 2 years old. The age is a serious consideration because the younger the animal the less developed their body systems and bones are. Allowing a 6 or 8 month old puppy breed is the equivalent of an 10 or 11 year old girl having a baby. Then comes the question of why do you want to breed your female? While I was a breeder for many years I went to a lot of trouble to educate my buyers on how to take care of the puppy they were getting. I also made sure all the puppies in each litter had a home to go to or they stayed with me regardless how many I had at the time. In 22 years no puppy produced from my kennel ever went into an animal shelter. This is a serious consideration as well, since the average litter for small breeds is 6 and for large breeds is 10. Therefore, breeding because you want "a puppy" from your girl, what are you going to do with the other 5 or 9? Do not depend on friends and neighbors saying they will take one because I can tell you from experience that even when someone has a hefty deposit down on that puppy they may or may not take the dog when the time comes. Allowing a female to breed can bring up all kinds of deadly health problems in the future that you may or may not want to deal with, from pyrometria (uterine infection) to breast cancer. All of which can be prevented by spaying your girl before that first heat cycle around 7 to 9 months of age.
