To start off... This is the first time for the both of them, they were "virgins". So STD's wouldnt be a factor here. No he wasnt ever certified, but I did have the vet check him out about 2 yrs ago. The whole change in personality that you guys described has been him all his life, Hes marked around the house b/c theres another male in the house & hes humped toys or his bed.. bc thats just him. I have never seen one ounce of aggressiveness come from this dog, he is the absolute sweetest. I would have loved to have him as a stud a long time ago & let him be sexually active, but I guess its harder than you think to find females to mate with a male. It took 4 yrs for me to find the right female. I had turned down 3 females, b/c the owner(s) had "teacups" & I said no... I wouldnt allow Scoobie to breed with such a small dog, & all for the health reasons I have read. Scoobie himself is small, hes supose to weigh about 4lbs, but hes pure muscle, strong lil man. So he weighs about 5.5lbs as of a month ago. If you wanna have more of an idea... pass by his dogster. The female is bigger than him & she weighs about 7lbs. She is going to be 3 in Jan. I did go to that website where one of you posted. Interesting & thank you. Tonight... they did tie, & my husband & I were watching & were able to keep them calm until they unattached. The mother should be on her 62nd day by the 1st of jan, the owner will be out of town & bc her dog trusts me & is comfortable with me, I will be with her during that time. She will have the $$ left with me, if in case we have to have a c-section & then the cut of the puppies tails. I dont want to offend anyone but most of you are making it seem so much worse than what it really is. Its dogs, its nature... how many dogs go through this w/o loving homes that take care of them. Unfortunately... I didnt think it was like this, I knew they attached "tied" but didnt know this is what it looked like, I wasnt prepared. I am glad i came along & asked here & got all the help i did. THANK YOU! But none of you have the right to tell me I hope she's not pregnant, if she is well something right they did. Now I will be reading up on the information on the pregnancy & the labor & trust me i'll be prepared. Thanks all. This is my final message to everyone, b/c most of you hurt my feelings pretty bad, & i dont think thats right! Hope your all happy with this response!
