i understand how ckc and akc works...i know that i cant register ckc to akc. what i mean on my website is working my self up to akc from ckc. i love the breed, i love breeding and learning about the breed. but i do not have the same kind of funds alot of breeders have. so im working my self up and my dogs up to akc. which has been working well. i have now aquire a nice quality akc male. my next goal was the same in a female. and of course gidget would have been retired and stay here. if it turns out she needs to be spayed i have no problem doing that. i just have to alter my plans
my reason for posting is to see if anyone else had, had some experience in this and if i should rush to spay or wait it out like the vet said. could the false pregnancy and the early heat be her bodys way of straighten her hormones back out.
i was told by the vet that whether you bred or not their bodys automatically go into baby mode.
i asked them when i had her checked out with the false pregnancy about breeding every 9 months if that was what cause the false she stated no. that her breedings were fine. and most likely the male was too young and her body automatically thought it was pregnant since she usually breeds and takes. and to go ahead and try the next time...i have been reading and what i get is like what an earlier poster stated that right now the understanding is to breed young and keep the uterus active then spay and retire early. if she went every 6 months then no i wouldnt have bred her each time but being its every 9 months and she has never showed sides of stress i conitued on...until the false and the messed up heat.
thanks again everyone. i appreciate all the advice, help and care |
I've never had a situation as you've described, but I've had other issues......Again, I would spay. I know if there is any question or unusual situation that arises with my girls...I spay. My girls on the average go every 8 to 9 months, but still rest a cycle and still retire at age 5....So, because they aren't bred until after they've obtained their Championship, they may only average 2 litters....I still would recommend a thorough examination, inclusive of an ultra-sound, blood panel, STD test to insure that she's in excellent health, and having it performed by a Repro vet.......
