Jean is in season, what do?
Discussion
Ok first of all isn't this a bit soon she's only 5 months old.
Second she lives with the manliest dog in the world who has been sniffing around her all day. Much as I'd love a house full of puppies I can't cope with her let alone another 6-8 velociraptors in the house.
Not a situation I've been in before what do I need to know, and how do I stop a handful of little Logan's appearing.
Cheers

IME....
You will need to seperate them during her season, otherwise she will drive Logan insane.
And I mean different house type seperate.
Milly came into season at about 6 months, so its not desperately early.
Hopefully others have better advice, but we a week of hell with our two until we shipped Milly back to her breeder for a short holiday.

Do you want to breed from her? One season of mopping up blood was enough to get ours booked in for the op straight away.
The dog will do absolutely anything to get to her, btw, and if they do get the opportunity you can't really stop them 'in the act'.
Could either of them live elsewhere while this is going on?

Hmm not an option I'm afraid, plus we have some major issues to deal at the moment.
No , we have no plans to breed her but it would be nice. Logan is intact, he had great hip and elbow scores, the breeder has asked that she can use him as he has an excellent temrement etc.
I always thought you had to wait until they were over a year old until you can have the females fixed?

It is young but not unheard of.
Please please don't let them mate though she is way too young
.
Will her breeder take her back until it is over? Otherwise no it doesn't matter who gets moved out of the house (but sort it asap)
If not planning to breed then spay 12 weeks post season.
And no you definitely don't need to wait til they are a year. They can be spayed pre season but I generally suggest post 1st season.

No we don't want any babies nothing that will hurt Jean. We will separate them at night and when we can't be around during the day they are usually crated anyway.
Jean is wearing boys pants with a hole cut out for her tail.
My only worry is we only noticed today he's been sniffing around for a few days and I've been unfortunately occupied elsewhere.
Don't want these.

) if he gets it in him he will go crazy trying to get her!! Though if you are lucky he may be one of the few to not be that bothered. Pesty said:

I can't remember the exact timing but there's a specific point in their hormone cycle at which it's considered best to have them done. Something like 3 months after the end of the season.Misty left no avenue unexplored when it came to opportunities to breed. We had to keep her on a lead everywhere. She even had a go at enticing Hiss, who being female... and a cat, wasn't best pleased.
I have seen several dogs literally chew through internal doors / walls to get to a receptive b
h.
If (/ when )they do get together then once they have tied you absolutely must not try to separate them as you will cause significant damage.
She is way too young to have a litter, termination is an option but it is expensive and no good for her, better separate them now.

Season is a nightmare. Poppy was quite heavy last time and we purchased some dog pants for her. Blood and cream carpets do not mix! They even had a small string pocket for a pad (sad eh?). The vet said that she can be spayed between seasons so that's next on the list.
Added: That's one thing I remember from childhood is my parents putting Goldie in the bathroom at night and the Labrador howling the place down at 3am. Dad coming down reading him the riot act and then 30 seconds after going back up it would repeat.
That and the smell of Antimate (I think it was called) horrid smelling stuff that you sprayed on their tail to put the dog off.

Thought I would reply to this thread rather than create a new one, as it's on the same topic.
My female pup is now 4 months old, so maybe in season in the upcoming months. I want to get her spayed, and just wondered when this can be done? Ideally I would like her done ASAP, but wasn't sure if she too young to have the op?
Thanks

Our vet's advice has been to let them have one season before spaying. The timing of the first season seems to vary wildly.My female pup is now 4 months old, so maybe in season in the upcoming months.

The operation should take place about 12 weeks after the first season, i.e. in between seasons. This is to allow everything to be as settled as possible.
Happy to be corrected by those that work in the profession.
Ours had a false pregnancy, which was very worrying until we understood what was happening

Just been on the phone to my local vet, and yeah basically let her have her first season, then 3 months after that she is good to go for the op.The operation should take place about 12 weeks after the first season, i.e. in between seasons. This is to allow everything to be as settled as possible.

I am a bit worried I guess with regards to male dogs etc, as had originally planned to do ASAP.

Our female whippet was done before her first season (by her previous owner)
So absolutely possible to do, however personally I would do one season then spay (I would have done this if we'd had Mabel our whippet from a pup).
