I mean if U've had them for years and they haven't bred yet then how did U prevent it from happing before? U don't have to have hundreds of dollars to prevent breeding them. I mean there is yard sales to get gates at, 2nd hand stores and such, and I got one of my gates at walmart for like $12.00, my other one I used when my 9 year old was an infant and just hung on to it. There are other rooms surely in U're home with doors on them. I had Tiffanie and Teddy since they was weaned from their mother and prevented them from breeding until Tiffanie was in her 3rd heat and then did it by choice and I didn't have this forum for advice then. Then we have Sage and I prevented it & will prevent it till she is in her 3rd heat. I still have our boys in the living room with 2 gates up and doors closed due to Weezie and Sofie being 9 month old and this will be both their 1st heats for I'm not sure when they may go into heat and I just don't want to take any chances of them being bred with maybe their dad or their brother from a previous litter. If I take them outside for a walk I take my boys through our front door 1st come back and put them in their playpens and then take my girls through the back door. I don't allow them to come into contact what so ever during these time. Common Sense can be used in times like this. You should of been researching questions like this long before this. People aren't here to yell at U all just to bring up good points and what is wrong with us asking questions back? We're not here to argue with people. I may not always be right but when I'm in the wrong and it's been proven to me then I will admit it and I don't care one bit to be corrected after all that's how we learn. |
You know, sometimes you just CANNOT stop them. My Mum bred Maltese dogs. She had all the precautions set up, numerous gates etc, a foolproof for seperating the Dog and Bitch. But, somehow, they both escaped and met in the middle. Mum has NO idea how they did it, it just happened. In the end, she named one of the pup's Mister Moon because it happened by the light of the moon.
Dogs can open doors, my Suzy can for sure. It takes her 30 seconds to figure out how to open screen doors, push over barricades... she sees a problem and gets around it.
Mistakes happen, dogs get out. Sometimes all the "common sense" in the world won't stop two dogs who want to do what nature says they should be doing.
