I have one huge crate right in the middle of the living room that has the door open at all times so every once in awhile, someone takes a nap in it. Now, when someone is in heat, they take turns in the crate. Two hours max time in and two hours out. often instead of crating, I turn them out to have run of the house. |
Just curious as to why you have two stud males. I know sometimes a breeder will keep back a really good puppy, and you can't always predict whether it will be a boy/girl, but just wondering how you got the mix of dogs you have.
Also, when a female is in heat I just put a belly band on our little boy. That lead to all kinds of activity, but nothing else (at least so far). Do you think that it is better to physically separate them? My guy is house trained with a doggie door, but when the girls are in heat he starts marking EVERYTHING. So he would have to be in a belly band anyway. Anyone else have this problem?
