I apologize also for my comments. I should not have judged you. I just honestly get very frustrated with the sheer number of people that come here to find out how to breed their pets, then don't post again after getting the very good advice to spay and neuter. Then the very next post will be "my dog is accidentally pregnant." I have 5 children, 4 of which are teenagers and I firmly believe in teaching them to take responsiblity for their actions and at the very least admit when they have made a mistake.
On the other hand, I DO realize that accidents will happen. If an unspayed female is in heat and a male is available, it takes very diligent watching on behalf of the owner to make sure the female does not get breed accidentally. Males dogs and females that are in heat can and will be EXTREMELY sneaky in their efforts to breed.
So to the OP I apologize for judging you based on your previous postings. I hope that you take the advice of the wonderful, knowledgable breeders here and have your baby spayed to spare her the possible trauma of pregnancy. There are too many mixed and full breed dogs in shelters now that are being euthanized on a daily basis.
I volunteer at a shelter in a neighboring county that has been forced to euthanize 36 dogs in the last few months. A few of them were purebred Chi's that were seized from a BYB that had such serious health issues that they were deemed unadoptable. It breaks my heart everytime I go there and see the same sad little dogs there week after week, knowing that their time is running out and I can't do anything about it.
I apologize to you and wish you the best with you dog. |
