dog in heat?(pregnant?)

.....wow. Two or three times already???? That's not healthy.....

And might I add that the "original owner" doesn't sound too responsible. Most RESPONSIBLE breeders encourage neutering and spaying their dogs to avoid overpopulation and accidental litters.

Then if your breeders said that, he/she is HORRIBLE, UNCARING breeder. What an uneducated person to say that! That just makes me so sick.
PLEASE SPAY/NEUTER YOUR DOGS!

They'll live a much healthier, and much longer life, if your dog spay and/or neuter.
I hope that this convinces you to do this.

This makes me VERY angry

I agree with the above replies. This whole situation just does not sound good.

I strongly suggest you seek help from your vet, which is one of the MANY things that should be done anyways when breeding dogs.

I agree with the replies above...

She has already been bred too many times. You really need to be a responsible owner and get her spayed and the dad nuetered. I will leave it at that.

Oh how sad

Your poor dogs...and the poor puppies.......

SERIOUSLY, if you and your family don't know when dog is in heat, you DON'T need to be breeding. period. Breeding any animal needs to be left to professional, experienced, dedicated people. Have your Chi's been shown and titled? Have they been tested for health diseases? Does your Dad know that there are already countless Chi's dying in shelters... not to mention millions of other breeds? And, what if your Chi needs an emergency c-section, or her uterus becomes infected shortly afterwards... or, the very likely occurance that she does not nurse her puppies, leaving your family up at all hours of the day/night to bottlefeed newborns? That is $1000's right there, and you are risking her life and newborn puppies lives. And for what? A few dollars? You could easily spend way more on caring for her and her litter than you will get from her pups... especially since Chi's often have just 1 puppy.

please reconsider!
