Jean is in season, what do?
Discussion
My Lottie was about 4.5 months when she started her first season, she is now 15 months old and on her 3rd!
I was going to get her done but basically her seasons have been in a close period of time and its only really now that I can see its around 4ish months between them.
Now I know this, i can get a date for her to be spayed as its usually 6 months between according to the vet

If there is 4 months between seasons I would expect the vet to suggest the mid pointI was going to get her done but basically her seasons have been in a close period of time and its only really now that I can see its around 4ish months between them.

Have you someone who could look after Pesty?
Maybe even consider.........a kennel. There, I have said it

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
I know you don't like the idea of a kennel, but what about a dog-sitter (where Logan could stay in their home with them)?
Getting Logan neutered probably wouldn't work for this season - it takes time for the testosterone to leave their system, it wouldn't be an overnight solution.
I believe there is a 'chemical castration' option but I have no idea how quickly that works. Bex may know, or you could ask your vet.
Sorry I can't offer much advice, all but one of my dogs has been neutered.

Castration for Logan is too late this time around, it takes 6-8 weeks for them to become infertile.
Chemical castration may be an option but you need to chat to your vet. It wouldn't be a guarantee.
Tbh your breeder should have warned you about this when they realised you had an entire male dog and taking on a b
h and your vets when you initially took Jean to them. I certainly assumed this otherwise I would probably have said something.

Many years ago when I was irresponsible I had a dog that used to escape and he sired a lot of families. One day, a rather irate owner complained about my dog mounting his bh. I retorted that it should have been on a lead. It was in his kitchen! I didn't have the heart to send him a stud fee.

The other thing to realise is once an entire male discovers his urges it does make them much more likely to seek out other females in heat (something he may not have done before this episode!).
