I cant believe I am in this section bc normally I avoid it at all costs. Just personal preference.

First, I am asking for a friend of mine to convince her NOT to breed her dog. Please keep your comments nice because its NOT me, all of my dogs are fixed.

Her dog is approx 9lbs, 8lbs and is having her first heat. First question, I have never had girls so what can be expected here other than the bleeding? Is there anything she can do to make her comfortable?

Second question/request, she has been talking to someone that has convinced her that it is just not healthy for her not to have at least one litter. I say that is an ole wives tale. Can you give me your experience with why she should NOT breed? I have tried telling her all the things that can wrong plus extra $ involved.

Please keep it nice, I really need some good advice to offer my friend and dont want to have this thread closed.

Thank you
