But you have absolutely put me into shock. I cant believe that you would breed a puppy, OMG you are being so irresponsible. I mean she is only a baby herself, how can you expect her to be a good Mother when she has so little experience of life herself. How can you expect a puppy who am assuming just wants to play all day herself to be calm enough to give those wee puppy's all the love, care and attention they need.
SHAME ON YOU. Puppy mill just comes to my mind!!!!!!! I am sorry but thats all I can say to you.

I'm going to have to agree with you. A 9 month old puppy does not need to, and probably does not know how to, take care of a litter of puppies. She is still a puppy herself, she wants to run around and play, not sit in a box and nurse her babies.

I agree about puppy mills coming to mind. Not necessarily the OP, but it sounds like a familiar story with this "reputable" breeder she got Lacie from.

I just want to say that I am glad/relieved to see that I am not the only one willing to speak my mind and voice concern about this situation and all the little oddities that it involves.

I'm glad you did say what you were thinking. I was going to keep my mouth (fingers

) shut, but after I saw your post I just said, well almost said, what I wanted and what I was thinking. She needed to hear that she did the wrong thing, whether she likes it or not. Good for you! and I think compared to some people, your post was mild.

Good to hear. Thanks Megan!

Unfortunately, I don't think the OP cares to listen and actually consider the advise being given. If she cared, she wouldn't have allowed her puppies to breed in the first place - I mean, seriously, how could anyone think it's okay to breed a 3lb puppy?!? She said in her original post that she knew it shouldn't have happened...so she knew it was wrong...but she didn't care..did it anyway. And in the process has put her puppy in danger. OP - did you know Lacie could DIE? It is a very real possiblity. I'm sorry if you think people are being harsh, but no one responsible is just going to sit back and tell you what you did was okay...because it was not okay

Hopefully your female did not take since the male was so young...and you can look back on this as a learning experience.

In case she did take, however, have a vet handy that specializes in small breed dogs since you could be looking at a costly c-section.

Good luck to you and your dogs.

And her mother is bred twice a year??? That breeder should be ashamed of herself You do NOT breed every heat cycle

I must Clear up a misunderstanding here:
I wrote earlier: Her mother is also 3# and used for breeding twice a year. Her sire is 3# also. Mother always has 4 pups in each litter avg. about 1.5 oz at birth
I meant her sire is breed twice a year to different females. Th breeder has three females. Lacie's mom is 4 years old and has had 3 litters.
Sorry about the error.

I DO know she should not be breed now.
I had put her in a area with baby gates up and she was climbing out of them almost every day. She was there for over 10 days. I got home one day and saw they had tied up and called the vet.
That is when he told me that she may not get PG because of Gizmo's age and that it would be ok. They tied up twice that I know of. on the 14th and the 19th. So she MAY NOT have taken.

I do pray she is NOT PG now. I would have liked to used her with Teddy later on. (Teddy is only 3# himself)

I was told to wait a few more weeks and bring her in for xrays. I am planning on doing this.

This was very hurtful:

If Lacie is PG, I have plans to give two away to good homes:
One to a disabled vet and one to a senior lady who just lost her little dog a bout a month ago.

This would not be about money.
If you fancy breeders with all your experience would NOT price your puppies so high, more of the commonman (woman) could afford them. the Yorkie was first owned by poor people in England until some fancy lady decieded she just had to have one, then they started breeding them smaller and smaller to satifiy the RICH people. CAN YOU SAY CHA CHING!!!!!!!

Now if I have not lost all friends here on YT, I do have another question:

Just yesterday, Gizmo seems to try to hump Lacie again, Does this mean she is NOT PG? Is she still in heat?? Do I need to keep them apart??

These answers would be helpful,
Thanks,
Dawn

Obviously. If by a miracle she is NOT prego

, you certainly want to continue/start to keep them separated and don't give them any chance to breed.

And during these 10 days of her escaping every day, it never occurred to you that this method of keeping them separated was? Seems like it would have been very apparent that you needed to take other precautions. IMO, this could have been very easily prevented, provided there are at least 2 rooms in your house with a door between them.

We heat with a free standing wood stove. If I had closed a door, she would have been without heat while we had 6" of snow on the ground. I didn't feel that was a good options either. Be thanks for the advice and when I can afford cental heat like you all I'll do that.

Now do you think she could still be in heat???

I really hope she isn't pg, and if you get this little girl spayed soon, you won't have to worry about an accidental pregnancy.
Consider looking for a bigger girl to breed with your 3 lb. boy, I'm sure that is what more experienced breeders would suggest.
