then i waited...nothing happened....he gave her a quick sniff just to say hello then went back to sleep.
i'm not complaining as it means no accidental pups but is this normal? there has been no extra marking no mounting...
they play like normal
is it because he is still young or should i be taking him to the vet for a check up?
i'm planning to get the girls spayed this year |
He will become sexually mature/active 6-8 months old. She may not be far enough along in her heat cycle to stimulate him. This is a disaster just waiting to happen, if he accidentally breeds his own mother. And there seem to be a whole rash of accidental breedings on the forum lately! You want to wait until his growth plates have matured, 8 months-1 year old....then have him neutered....keep mom completely away from son until you can get her spayed after this heat cycle....and then you need to be ready for "sissy" to come into season...again, another disaster breeding.
