My female cocker wasn't spayed until later in life and we had to make doggie diapers for her(back then, you couldn't buy them) so she didn't leave spots all over the house. She always acted a little off while the hormones were coursing through her body. She didn't know what to do with herself. Their natural animal instinct to mate sometimes takes over their domesticated self. I guess you could say their little brain is taking over the big brain and the poor little gals often don't know whether they are coming or going. |
Thank you for your reply, Crystal's the first lady dog in my life. Previously. I've had Airedales, Alsatians, Labs, and a little beach stray mongrel imported from Spain, all have been boys.
She clings to her mom at the moment and many of her regular little habits have gone by the way, she's not at all herself really.
I think I'll have her spayed as their seems good evidence that the health benefits outweigh the risks. Within a domesticated environ, this interludes seems quite stressful for her too, even though it's all perfectly natural of course.
My wife wants her to breed one litter, but knowing us we'd hate to part with any of them!
