Now Im going to mention something that isnt going to be popular but Ill say it anyway.
If you decided to part with your baby would you spay her first? If not then I wouldnt even read further.
But if this is what you would do before she was to go to her new home. Why not give it a bit more time and then try for babies? If you havent the time and work outside the home then this really wouldnt be an option, but if you planned to spay her before her being released, why not try for babies once? If she has trouble and needs a C section then she can be spayed during the procedure.
If its a health concern over her carrying the babies then I wouldnt even consider it but if its a matter of the delivery only and you were going to spay her then this is an option. But it certainly would be a 24-7 call hour at the end of pregnancy.
Just a thought, please no hate mail, Im still reading from 2004... |
Kelly,
I understand why you ask this. It's a legitmate question. But here's where I'm coming from. I know that she is not going to be a permanent fixture in my breeding program based on her structure and what I prefer. So, if I breed her and let her have a litter of puppies and then spay her. The only benefit I would see is that I would get money for the puppies she produced. I am more concered about getting her into a new home as soon as possible so she can start bonding with her new family, than I am concerned about having a litter of puppies out of her.
I am glad you asked.
Hugs
Irene
