Wishing Everypup- Happy Days! |
 | | Barked: Sat Jul 14, '07 1:02pm PST | |  | |  | | Thank You Very Much!
I have not known how to respond to Chloe's heat but, now thanx to you I may know how. I have had trouble with her and the bleeding thing, it hasn't stopped, but finally today it did, her hormones I think are coming, she is acting very weird, she used to be all hyper and up to the top of the world, but now all she wants to do is sleep in bed, or sit there on the floor and NOT sleep, I never got that until now. Your the best thank you very much for the info on bitches and their heat problems and how to deal with it!!
Sincerely,
Chloe's Momma |  |  | |  |

| | Barked: Sat Jul 14, '07 2:23pm PST | | | | | | It sickens me to see the backyard breeders that are emerging on this thread to spew mis truths about spaying, neutering, ethics and rescue. 
This originally started out as a great thread. What a pity. | | | | |

| | Barked: Mon Jul 16, '07 7:20am PST | | | | | | Please, all, lets NOT let this thread deteriorate..... it has served as a wealth of excellent information, and it often the thread new dogster members with intact dogs are directed to if they have questions. If the same old tired arguments taint the otherwise effective message of the OP, then this will no longer be a good place to send dog owners.
Before anyone says anything else on this thread, I would re-read the ORIGINAL post and ask yourself if you are going to add any helpful information to the theme of the thread. If not, start a new topic. Simple as that.
This is an important thread in that it kindly and non-judgmentally offers advice and guidance to prevent "ooops" litters. These are a bit rare on dogster so lets preserve its integrity, alright?
Thanks. | | | | |

Like Kiona said, non-judgemental education is the most effective because it keeps minds open.  | | | | |

| | Barked: Wed Nov 21, '07 10:25pm PST | | | | | | Even those of us that do breed need to take strict command when our girls are in heat, it is literally a full time job to prevent unwanted matings from occuring. One of my males ripped apart a metal cage that he was in when one of the females was in heat. There is no sure method to keep an intact male from an in heat female. There is also no set way to predict the females exact fertility dates as to when they will let a male mate her. It is all speculative and different for each dog. | | | | |

Paris
"...You are- gettiinngg- sleeeepy..." |
| | Barked: Thu Nov 22, '07 2:02pm PST | | | | | | My Paris is not fixed and I have really just been afraid to have it done, because it's surgery... but I have to admit, there is a bigger picture to be seen. There are SOOO MANY homeless dogs in this world and that's because there are people not fixing their dogs. The proof is in the many Animal Shelters. It's really sad!
Not only that, but it is a PAIN to deal with the heat cycles. Unlike human women, the dog can't keep herself clean. They can't bathe themselves, nor can they change their own sanitary napkins! Guess who has to do it!? So dog owners, with unaltered females, who don't want to change a dog's bloody pad should get her fixed and if you are truly a dog lover, you'd get your dog fixed simply because you do not want to contribute to any animals suffering.
Special attention to Pit Bull owners: Pit Bulls definitely should be fixed because this poor tortured breed gets the short end of the stick. There are many shelters that will not even try to adopt out a Pit Bull and would rather kill it. So the poor dog just doesn't have a chance. And there are many people who will get a Pittie for the wrong reasons; to fight them, to appear to have a mean/mean looking dog. There are many people who will just leave them outside to "guard the house", and will not properly train and socialize them, which contributes to the bad rep. | | | | |
