Yeah, you would think so, but sadly, this is not always the case. Accidents of all kinds can happen with even the most responsible owners. ANY kind of accident, not just pregnancy, but anything, the dog getting out of the house and getting lost/run over/stolen, injury from being stepped on, etc. I know one time I opened the door to put something on the porch and as I turned one way to come in, Trixie ran behind my back the other way and I left her outside. Now, she never left the porch and scratched in about 30 seconds to come in...but I didn't know she was out there!
What if someone had stolen her, or worse, what if she'd gotten hit by a car--such a scary thought, Kim, I know you can vouch for that one. Or what if she'd been in heat and a local male walked up. Accidents can happen even w/ responsible owners...don't you agree? My point is, it may not always be in the best interest of the dog to let them go intact, even to a responsible owner because accidents of all kinds DO happen.
