Antoun Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hello, just a really quick question please.. my bitch is in season, and for some reason next door purchased a new staffy (female) puppy about 10 weeks old. And she has dug under our colorbond fence and is coming into my yard and playing with my girl.. both are playing, which is fine by me.. My concern/question is, will this young puppy somehow affect her emotional/physically with regards to her season? (I am planning on mating her this season). Thanks!

mixeduppup Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sometimes puppies can affect a bitch's heat cycle and I've seena very young pup bring ona false pregnancy. What breed is she and how old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixeduppup Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Is she a registered dog and you a reg breeder or just a pet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I dont think you have anything to worry about .There are always pups and girls in heat here and Ive never had an issue except sometimes the girl on heat can be less tolerant. Ive never heard of a pup bringing on a false pregnancy and would challenge that if a bitch did have a false pregnancy that a pup who happened to play with her when she was on heat that was the cause.

Also I'd be fixing up the fence in case the neighbours get an entire visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinay2 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 IMO no issues about the puppy. Of more concern to me would be if a pup can get through your fence, what else can? You may want to ramp up security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I wouldn't worry about the puppy, except for you bitch maybe getting grumpy with her at some point. Get the neighbours to fix the fence and keep their dog on their property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 as the others say, no problems with the puppy but you need to get the fencing fixed asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 as the others say, no problems with the puppy but you need to get the fencing fixed asap Yep agree. I would only have her outside if you are with her. I would be worried about others getting in with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 as the others say, no problems with the puppy but you need to get the fencing fixed asap Yep agree. I would only have her outside if you are with her. I would be worried about others getting in with her. Or her getting out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Is she a registered dog and you a reg breeder or just a pet? I am not understanding how this question is relevant to the answer. The answer to the question would surely be the same either way ? To breed or not is another issue. I agree with others. No problem but fix the fence.

I was asking as reg breeders have more access to mentors and the like, whereas pet breeders are largely alone. If you see my next comment I suggest they ask their mentor if they have one.
