Jean is in season, what do?

[Pesty]

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

[Pesty]

Could either of them be elsewhere.

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?

[Pesty]

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.

[Pesty]

Why do these things always happen at the wrong time. Back to work tomorrow I'll be away tomorrow night

At the moment he's just seems to spend a lot of time sniffing around no interest other than that or change of behaviour.

More interested in play fighting.

[Pesty]

Ok well we what we can do, I'll also have a word with the breeder but seeing as she's quite a way away and probably won't have room anyway.

Plus to be honest I'm a huge softy and not sure I could rest easy with her not being here.

I know I know.

Have you someone who could look after Pesty?

Maybe even consider.........a kennel. There, I have said it

No

I couldn't send any of them in a kennel I would be too stressed.

We are trying to work something out Logan is already being a nightmare and I belive it gets worse.



I suppose we have two options. The other half goes for a two week holiday somewhere taking Jean.

Not really practical Logan would be alone all day and we have other issues at the moment.


Or
We take Logan and get him fixed.

Or god knows. Nobody mentioned this to me in the other thread where I asked about getting a second dog. It wouldn't be too bad but as mentioned it's just incredibly bad timing

[Pesty]

Parent currently in hospital only friends I have have dogs already and Logan is not always friendly.

We are thinking about it options.

[Pesty]

Well he's up here with us and my baby is down stairs asleep.

[Pesty]

They only pretend to be domesticated. Very fine line between wild animal and lovable puppy

[Pesty]

Logan's being a right arse

[Pesty]

Keeping him upstairs and her downstairs

[Pesty]

Well one thing I'm sure of. He won't stop eating. He's not that kind of dog to get stressed I don't think but I'm keeping an eye on him.

Out on a walk he doesn't even notice she's there. Just does his own thing.

Mini Logans

That would be awesome just not now and not with my baby Jean.

Surely it is not inevitable when we are in they are mostly upstairs and downstairs separated by two gates.

When out they are in crates.

[Pesty]

Logan's got a glazed look in his eyes and pants all day long jean just drops on the floor whenever he's near.
He's trying none stop to mount her any second they are together toilet brakes etc

Reminds me of me when I was 17.
We are keeping them mostly Apart. With my father in hospital and her mother I'll we have no other options seems ok so far

Logan keeps standing with his neck stretched out and a stupid look in his eyes like he did when he met his first acd bh ( who was jeans mother ) pics on the pics thread ages ago

How many days in is she now (this could be vital) I do feel very sorry for Logan, this will be torturous for him :/!

While he's probably finding it tough he's fine. Take him on a walk, tennis ball or play.

9 or so days I think. How much longer?

This is how he looks when she's near. This is Jean mum by the way.




Strangely he's very relaxed these days. Jean has a calming influence on him. ( well not at the moment)

Both on a walk yesterday they were just running around playing as normal. It's only at home he tries to mount her.

Pesty, hows things ?

Last couple of days noticeably easier for Logan he's still sniffing around but nonchalantly not hyper.

Was a bit odd this morning very bad mood. He's never in a bad mood, I'm wondering if a bit of jealousy is setting in, she is a bit of a steamroller.

[Pesty]

He's lost all interest in her. Not folllowing her around anymore does that mean it's safe to leave them?
