Weird thought

[scannellski]

If a small female dog (say, a terrier of a jack russell) gets impregnated by a much bigger dog, say labrabor or retriever size, what happens?
Does some sort of genetic selection occur to ensure that the puppies take on all the size traits of the mother so that the gestation / birth is not terminally unpleasant or impossible for the poor bh?
Or does the mother just have giant pups and have to deal with it? Or worse?

I'll throw it open to the PH massive to debate.
I'm thinking it'd be like if Clarke Kent got Lois Lane pregnant - It's impossible because she'd never be able to carry such a strong offspring...

I should explain that I'm in week 2 of recovering from an op, so a combination of cabin fever, cocodamol, carlsberg and other painkillers is at work here, before you all start thinking I'm properly mental. Or ghey for my dog.

I believe the pregnant bh dies if the pups are too big

Too big, surely?

They grow part way until there isn't any more room and then the bh explodes, a bit like Mr Creosote. Bloody mess it makes, bits of dog all over the place.

Unless it's the particular situation of K9 impregnating a Chihuahua. In that case the bh shows no abdominal distension at all as she is getting bigger on the inside than on the outside, then when the 63 days is up she just goes "uuurrUUURRRugh uuurrUUURRRugh uuurrUUURRRugh" with her eyes flashing on and off and the pups materialise in the basket next to her.

Dude!
What are you drinking? / Taking?

Watch the first half hour of Alien 3 for an idea.

Nature sorts it out.

The bh will have one puppy usually which will be of a size she can deal with.

[Steamer]

So a dog is a bit like an oven then? No matter what you put in it - you will only ever get something 'oven sized' back out after the right amount of cooking time.

What exact mixture of stimulants are you on OP?

I'm stuck at home tonight and your world sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than the one I live on.

Most of the time nature will balance in the favour of Mum. However there could be risk of at least one over sized pup meaning medical intervention required.

In my experience bhes that have only one pup tend to end up in more trouble than the ones that have a few as a single pup does up huge and to big for Mum to pass naturally

It's not going to be pleasant.

PH Classic.
And no, as I said, I am not ghey for my dog. No animals were harmed (bummed) in the making of the original post.

[ShadownINja]

Will you lot stop swearing.

BTW are you currently regretting not fking the bh up the ae before jzing on her back?


Curious, bh (term for female dog) is censored but ae and jz (both only slang and unacceptable language in front of your gran) are not censored. Bizarre.

Asked a biologist recently, apparently the pregnancy terminates naturally. Sorry to provide such a dull and stty answer

[robsco]

My grandparents had an English bull terrier and a Jack Russell. They mated, the result was a litter of dogs with the body of a bull terrier and the legs from a matchstick. Always makes me laugh when I see them.
