Did the person you left you baby with, actually see the puppies tie? If your baby was NOT in heat when you took her and left her with these people, and she was there for 2 weeks, she may not have yet been receptive....both these babies are inexperienced.....do the people that "baby sat" for you, KNOW how an intact male behaves around an intact female, and can thus intervene BEFORE a puppy's life is put at risk by an "unattended" breeding? Having this baby spayed now is the responsible, ethical thing to do, rather than let this baby possibly have babies. If you are wanting to become a breeder, you will need to acquire a knowledge base on the subject, so you can recognize when your ladies are in heat and how often they come into heat.....My mentor always told me, "There are NO "accidnetal" breedings, you screwed up.. As a responsible breeder, you KNOW when your females are due to come into heat....you know the signs of the different stages of the heat cycle so you recognize behavior when the female is coming into season. You never run intact males and females together, especially unsupervised, at any time,,,,this will result in two outcomes.....unintentional breedings and/or fights between your dogs. This is the very FIRST thing that separates you from just another BYB'r or a puppy mill." My mentor, thank God, was always brutally honest with me and very intolerant of what she considered "ignorance" on my part. She does not accept excuses at all....her tough as nails behavior has made me a much better breeder, accountable, responsible, ethical, with an uncompromising sense of integrity. I share this information with you, praying you will benefit from the guidance my mentor gave me. |
