Im not interested in breeding her shes way too little at four pounds but im trying to figure out how long to keep them separated? we started noticing him checking her out and her snipping at him last sunday (9/7) and they've been appart since so about a week and a half but i think shes done but im afraid to put them together yet just in case. We were planning to fix him but were waiting for him to get a bit Older and put some weight on as the anesthesia scares me, hes just now eight months so i was waiting for the end of summer and the kids to get back to school to make the appointment go figure shed go into heat the second week of school

Im playing it safe i figure im probly safe but i wanted to check with the pros. just to be sure.
also is it normal for them to act so depressed when they are separated like this? weve been jokingly been calling them romeo and juliet one will be in the kenel and one will just lay on the floor gazing at the other and they will just lay ont he floor just gazing at each other wimpering lightly, its so sad

Thanks guys
