If the dog has matured enough to have a season, then it is perfectly capable of carrying a belly full of puppies. Though any good breeder would wait until at least the second season before even considering breeding. I believe both of the dogs should be at least 2 years old. This is a typical anthropomorphic question. It suggests dogs like humans will yearn after motherhood, especially if they cannot have pups.
The only automatic yearning dogs have is to mate. Other than that time the dog will not miss or yearn for a litter of puppies. Unlike humans, dogs stay fertile all their lives. The season may be missed occasionally as they move into old age. However, they can still fall pregnant at any age. These include loss of appetite, lethargy, slight nipple growth and some behavioural changes. These changes come about because of the surges in hormones and can include the need for isolation or the opposite such as demanding to be cuddled.
Fizz and her litter of seven healthy puppies the one with the white collar is Gunner I kept him. After a few weeks, her appetite will improve and she will rapidly start to gain weight. Her abdomen will thicken and her nipples will enlarge, and she may start lactating a few days before birth. In the last weeks, you can feel and sometimes see the puppies moving around inside the womb.
On the right is Fizz. She had given birth the day before to seven healthy puppies, The one with the collar is the one I kept and called Gunner. She and the father who I also owned called Jet were fed on what I consider the best dog food and supplements including Salmon Oil as are all my dogs. It makes so much difference. The miracle of birth can be an amazing experience. I love dogs and always have done, that is why I am in this profession.
However, I have only bred one litter of puppies and they turned out brilliant dogs. I have followed many litters from birth to death. Whilst the rescue centres are screaming out for homes for unwanted dogs.
Then perhaps just one litter of healthy and highly specialised Working Cockers is acceptable. The others I bought as puppies, to be trained as gun dogs or sniffer dogs. If it was a puppy then I needed to get them early and at the most important time of their learning period, this is between 0 and 16 weeks. If I choose wisely and pick the right breeder, then I will know that the 1st weeks of their lives will have been the making of them.
Read Charlies Background. Part of his story is in 5 Fearful and Timid Dogs. I will also mention the brilliant work of a vet nurse, now a dog trainer, Who literally saved him from being systematically beaten to death, when others ignored his plight. Gunner has turned out to be an amazing gundog and a testament to ethical and clever breeding.
This is Gunner the one I picked from my one and only litter. I have not written about seasons and pregnancies in dogs because I want you to rush out and get your dog neutered. I promise you that is something I would never recommend. Before you consider that read 7 Neutering the Real Story. However, if I can get just one person to take on a rescue dog. I like and support the small individual rescue centres.
It is the wasteful heads of these institutions that appear to get the donations, whilst starving the operations that do the real work. Look at the Blue Cross recently and the scandal that hit them. He was an absolute car crash of a man and did no favours to an organisation that has totally lost its way. So my time and money will always go to the little ones.
They are the ones that are struggling. Not the ones with a tranche of directors on six-figure salaries and fleets of company cars. ON your donations these people live the high life on salaries many of us only dream about. Charity should be for the animals, not the hangers-on.

Thank you so much for the article on how to tell whether a dog was in heat. We have an almost 7 month old peke-a-poo, and I just scheduled her today to get spayed. Tonight, I saw blood near her private area fur slightly in back of it , and I was nervous. My husband had mentioned that she was asking to go out we live in the country and walk her, she is never alone every half hour. I noticed she was very clingy. Then I went to your site and saw the photos and they were an immense help.
I was reading about the tail being moved, but was having trouble visualizing it. Your picture of that is exactly what our puppy is doing. The close up picture of the vulva was extremely helpful , as well. Thank you so much. We have always had three dogs at a time, and have never had any go into heat before getting spayed, so the whole thing made me nervous.
She is a rescue pup and adapting well! We also have an 8 year old female pekingese and a 9 year old male bichon. Once again, thank you for that great and informative article!
I feel much better after reading that, and I had visited many other sites before I found yours, but none explained that as well as you. Looking for a dog I have a beagle and its a she. Soon she will be on her season and i am looking for another beagle to breeding.
I dont know where to search could you help me? That will depend on a number of variables. How old is the dog and does it have full KC pedigree papers. If she does you could contact the list of breeders of Beagles at the kennel club and ask if they have a stud dog.
However, the dog should be at least two years old and have had one full season and be free of any inherited breed diseases. Things to consider If you are thinking of breeding from your bitch, there are certain questions that you will need to ask yourself before proceeding:.
