kamuzz Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Archie How old is your girl now? My girl certainly didn't put on more weight - I think it just depends if your dog slows down which they might do anyway as they move from being puppies to adults. Why are you keeping her away from the adult dog - are you worried they will play too roughly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archie Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 she is 18 weeks and the male is 18mths, l keep them seperate when not supervised as they do play very rough and feel she is still too small and may get hurt or over exercised. though the temporary fence between them probably will not last much longer, she is starting to work out how to get in with him. The plan is to run them together permantly when she is 7mths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peibe Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I would get her done before you plan to run them together permanent Normally around 6 months is a good age to get dogs desexed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atinagold Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I would say about 6 months of age too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaves Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Have to say i agree with keeping them seperate unless supervised as well as getting her desexed by 6months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpudds Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I had my female GS desexed at 6 months. She is now 8.5 months. Was at home for a week with her, just kep her qiuet for 2 days, and no play fighting with her brother. She was fine, didn't even pick at her stitches and no weight issues.

jillybean Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 The vet recommends between 5 and 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
