OH GEEZE.....me too.....I thought you were going to spay and neuter this pair of dogs. You are playing with FIRE......good grief.....if you don't know when the female will breed.....you should never be trusted with BREEDABLE INTACT DOGS!
To answer your question.....THE MALE KNOWS WHEN THE FEMALE IS READY.....he will breed her in a 1/2 second....so you say you are watching them.....trust me he can do it before you can get your fanny out of a chair. LOL Also to tease him like this is cruel.....he is a male....he expects to be able to breed her.....it is a natural instinct.
i was confused because from what ive read in the books is that the heat lasts 3 weeks and she should attract males from when she starts bleeding
Confused?? oh my word.....yes the heat cycle lasts about 21 days....but that is not set in stone.....some bitches last 12 days.....some for over a month. No she will not breed while bleeding.....she will breed when she ovalates.....which will be about 1/2 thru the cycle....what ever that is!!!
and i just wanted to say im not depending on the diapers and the belly band i just thought he would be out of control. she actully spends alot of time on my lap and he spends alot of time with my daughter in her room but they have them on as one more precation so there is no excuse for an unplanned pregnancy
Not depending on diapers and bands....I should hope not....I can guarantee you...your dogs are smarter than you are! LOL And your daughter is how old? You think it's safe to leave him there......I can see it now....we are gonna see puppies from these two.,.....<smiles> Just so you know.....I have a 4 lb male who will go over a 4 foot fence to breed a female......no one is safe around him.....unless he is totally encased in a kennel cage with a top!! Even then I'm not really sure.....he also will climb to the second story of an apartment cage to get his girl....he's one determined little cus!
Yes please get this pair spayed/neutered ASAP.....why can't you take the male in immediately! Is that a problem?
