Thank you everyone so far for the helpful info and kind words I look forward to seeing some good advise tomorrow/later today, I'm gonna hit the hay..ttyl. |
Hope things are improving for you and your partne.
From a breeder's standpoint, based on facts.
Yes, there are breeders that accomplish breeding with inbreeding, but these are the very experienced breeder that want to establish what is wrong and what is right with line. As stated above you will definately bring out both qualities fast. But, this inbreeding is very, very rarely done. What most experienced breeders do is what is called line breeding. It is where you breed two dogs that have common ancestors, this is what we do to set type.
As far as your girl being able to be impregnated while she is still showing color, yes it's possible. Keeping in mind that it is not the date she is bred, but when she ovulates. I have a girl that is very ready on her 2nd day of showing color and concieves every time.
She is a bit too young, immature, and small to be a mother. She can be spayed at this point. But, the final decision is yours to make on what is best for your girl. She may very well be experiencing a false pregnacy. Another suggestion would be to have her examined by a repro vet. And keep in mind vets are for the most part general practioners...so, find one that is versed in the Toy Breeds.
