| myjordash |  05-12-2009 06:59 AM |        Is there a risk of puppy being Sexually Mature....    I am taking care of a puppy for a week.  The puppy is 4 months old, it is one of ours from a previous litter, and the new owners are going away.  I didn't want the pup to be dropped in a kennel so young so I offered to take care of the puppy for the week.  I know they shouldn't breed till 2, and they don't USUALLY reach maturity till 6 months....but is there a CHANCE this puppy could tie with a female in heat?  I wanted to keep him with the Mom and other females, not with my males, but I don't want to chance ANYTHING happening if a female were to go into heat.     
I did call the Vet and they said he SHOULD be fine, but I wanted to make sure I am not taking any chances with keeping him with my females.   |
