Should she have puppies?

Guys. Give her a break. She is 17 years old, and we all remember how we thought and our opinions at 17, right? It changed by the time I was 20. It changed by the time I was 25. It changed by the time I was 29. It changed by the time I was 33. I am sure it'll change again. Basically, she hasn't lived enough (no offense, Felix) to know enough. Just remember that. By next year, she may have completely changed her mind.

This is a great forum to learn from...you will form your own opinion and do what you think is right. There is a great SEARCH option here and you can go back and read previous posts about whelping if you would like. Some out comes are good and some arent. BUT please above all else DONT BE AFRAID TO QUESTION!!

Exactly. I think it was in your girls best interest to ask for advice and help before breeding her and having a potenial disaster and I commend you for it.

Yes shes 17 but her parents are old enough to know better. Think about it.... You had a dog who wasnt spayed would you leave her out in the yard unsupervised while she was in heat, considering you know that neighborhood dogs have been getting to her and making her pregnant?

I say blame the parents, they have taught her to think this way

hahahahah true - but most of us weren't breeding our dogs and selling puppies at 17. At least I hope not.

True. At least I wasn't. I was too busy trying to sneak out of my parent's home to go to UCLA dances. High school boys were SO IMMATURE.

Oh yea, if only I could still be as smart as I was at 17!!!! LOL! Funny how it works, the older we are the more we realize how little we really know in the scheme of things. I remember as I got older, adults got smarter too -- amazing!
