Oddly enough her (Abby's ) mom and dad are both twice her size. lol. somehow she just decided that she wanted to be the midget of the family. lol |
I am confused? On May 30th of this year you said she was only 9 months:

Abbey and Bailey are bother very very laid back very docile, they both are cuddlers, lovers etc, will roll over a the drop of a hat, love belly rubs etc. Walley on the other hand will NOT let you roll him over, I dont think he ever lays down... etc
Now all dogs have been raised with children and other dogs. So my question is this. How can I stop this humping and snipping the two boys are doing. Baileyis the one attempting to do the humping, Walley will stand there for a moment or two, but then will snap and a small fight will start between the two males. Now Walley and Abby have done well this far, but this morning I noticed she is now trying to hump Walley too. I feel like my house has turned into a humping factory LOL.. Now I do know that it is Bailey declaring his alpha stage, but, I want to trust them together, and not have to either A. keep them seperated B. in cages, C. on leashes.
Walley also started hiking his leg, spraying today  ( Bailey has never been a hiker so any advice on how to break this????
I do want to keep Walley, but not at the risk of changing Abbey and Bailey's behavior.
ANy advice ???? |
Wouldn't that make her 11.5 to 12 months old currently?
2.4 lbs is awfully small, I'm sure you're rolling your eyes at the computer screen right now and ignoring what everyone is saying, but seriously you could have lost your little girl very easily. 2.4 lbs is really too small EVEN for a pet, let alone a breeding female. I also have a spayed 3 lber and she is so fragile and just tiny overall. I would have never considered breeding her, I love her too much to risk losing her over a couple of puppies. It was not worth it to me.
Also if she is that upset about being a mother she is better off being spayed anyways. There's a good chance she will be the same way if you bred her again, and next time she may need a c-section and you will be out even more money for vet bills and probably lose one or more pups as well. I finally bred one of my 5 lb girls on her 2nd heat at 2 years old this spring. She had one surviving pup and she was scared to death of him at first and I finally got her to calm down enough to let him nurse, and she cleaned him and went to sleep. I was laying on the couch beside her and I closed my eyes for a few minutes. I was startled awake by her shaking him in her mouth. I quickly got him out and worked on him, but it was too late. It wasn't her fault, it was mine. As soon as mom's milk dried up I had her spayed. She is now in a pet home and doing absolutely wonderful. I did not want to put her through that experience again. Some females, even those who are the right age and size, are just not cut out to be mothers.
I hope you will really think about all this and not just ignore what is being said. Please listen to your little girl and look at how much stress she is under. Is it worth it for her to have to go through it again?
