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? |
I have two studs because i USED to have three breeding females. two are spayed now AND Renny, my new stud, well I have had him almost two years now has a pedigree to die for. Ceeby was the only male for two years, then Renny came along. I couldn't resist him.Plus, I have kept one of Ceeby's girls back so obviously, she can't be bred to ceeby. I am breeding her to Renny next Friday. It will be her first time. She is in her second heat right now. That is the breeding girl I mentioned. NO NO NO do not count on Belly Bands and yess, you had better physically separate them. Ceeby bred one of my females when he had a belly band on right over the top of it and there has been more than one case of that happening on here or the male taki ng the females panties off. When you do put one in a crate, you have to watch that also because the femalee will back up to the crate and the male can reach his legs thru it and pull her close, next thing you have puppies. You could also put one or the other in another room. As I said, sometimes I let mine run in the house so they don't have to stay in the crate so long.
