heating, pregnant, in season...

[Flatcoatluver]

do you show your dogs??? It sounds like you are thinking about breeding!!! I really don't think anybody should breed unless there dogs are a great example of the breed, your dogs have tittles (from showing), you already have home lined up for the puppies, the bitch and male have all updated health records. if you have all of that done, then you are a responsible breeder if you don't your just a terrible backyard breeder!!! pLease spay and neuter!!!! did you know 10,000 healthy dogs get euthenized every year in shelter?? please don't breed and overpopulate the puppy world anymore. Just to add if you think you are going to get money from breeding your not!!!!

edit! please I'm begging you to be a responsible owner and spay!!! I work at a shelter and I talk to a person like you atleast everyweek, that want to breed but dosn' know how. plz spay and neuter.

let me tell you a story of a not responsible breeder I dealed with 2 weeks ago.
there was a lady that had a golden retriever female she wanted to breed, she did not know her dog was inheat and she kept her dog outside for just a hour, and the neighbors lab jumped the fence and got her dog pregenate, but guess what she does not want to deal with finding the mixed dogs home,BECAUSE THEIR A MIXED BREED. so she took the mom and the puppies into the shelter!!!!!!! you know how angry that make me feel when someone want to breed and does not know this kind of stuff. I am really sorry everybody on PT has to see me like this, well actually read me like this but it makes me so angry!!! we get people like this in the shelter all the time!!!

I can understand why your upset Flatcoatluver, this is a serious issue. If you work/volenteer at a shelter, you see these wonderful lives get killed every day because of irresponsible people. It just makes me ashamed that I belong to the human race. I think those people are a whole different kind of species then me and most people here at pet talk!

ok!well i'll talk to my dad about this!Thanks!and thats a sad story...

[Flatcoatluver]

is your dad wanting to breed them?? or does he just does not have the money to get them fixed???

[Vette]

Are you asking these questions because shes doing strange things,, or for breeding purposes?

[buttercup132]

[MyLittleMutt]

Get Your Dogs Fixed!!!

There are already bunch of chihuhua's or chihuahua mixes needing homes. Please do not add to that!!!!

[chealy731]

ya.. well we're kinda low on money right now...but we still have the food to feed them and all. My dad said for my mom to bring me to the vet tomorrow, so I will talk to them about how much and all...I was just asking cause I was just curious and she was doing weird stuff...but ya

There are spay and neuter clinics in my area that charge only $15 to spay a small female dog! And with excellent equipment and trained vets like any vet office. =)

I'm glad you are being responsible for your dog by spaying her, having rescued a gorgeous little Chihuahua girl from near death at a county shelter a few years ago (she is now loved by my sister and her family), I have experience with seeing an abundance of wonderful homeless chi's. Adding to that population for any reason other than bettering the breed is completely wrong.

Check into your local rescues and shelters.. Most have subsidized spay and neuter programs for those with lower income. We're actually getting Molly spayed at ours here.

I think it's really great that shelters are doing this for those who cannot not afford the costs at high priced vets.

what's so sad, that I have gotten to trust animal, more then I trust humans. What really upsetting to is puppy season should be over with, but no we just get a new litter in our shelter every week!!! I mean this week we found purebred lab puppies!!! people thease days!!! they just don't understand.
