My two pit bulls

[Rebekah12]

i have a 4 year old female pit bull thats in heat and a 2 year male pit bull they have been locking up about 6 to 8 times a day but when he dismounts her she pushes everything out of her how will i know if she is pregnant or even if she can get pregnant ? or is that natural for her to do that some one any one please help with this i really want them to have puppies

[herbie]

Why?

[Rebekah12]

to herbie why what?

[4getmenot]

probably why do you want them to have puppies

[Rebekah12]

because my dogs are two beautiful animals and i consider them as my children and my whole family wants one of there puppies

I know this isn't answering your question, and you didn't ask for opinions, but honestly, if it's not too late i'd seriously re-think your idea to breed them. You only need to visit any dogs home to see it filled with cage after cage of unwanted pitbulls, due to the (sometimes deserved) bad press they get.

If your family are so desperate for one of these dogs- would they not like to adopt one of the above dogs instead of you bringing more into this world?

[Rebekah12]

i understand and i thank you for your answer/question but the thing is it has already happen she has been in heat for about a week now and about the pitbull breed it's not the breeds fault for the bad press they have it's the people that own them to only train them to fight, kill and then dog gets the punishment for it i have had pit bulls all my life and i have not had one problem with any of them i just never owned a female and a male at the same time that's why i'am asking for help with my orginal question

[tamborine]

you're over-working the stud; he'll have a heart attack......dont be cruel to him.

[Mr Veritas]

Those who are deaf cannot hear the advice they require!

I know it's not the breeds fault Rebekah, I know that these dogs can make wonderful pets.

It's just I honestly fail to see why anyone would breed more of something that's already swamping a dogs home.

And yes I'd say this to any person (sorry Lankeela and Co!) who bred dogs- i personally feel it's terribly irresponsible to breed any animal when there's so many unwanted and unloved ones in homes crying out to be loved.

Are you in the UK Rebekah?
I was under the impression that it was illegal to own a Pitbull dog here, let alone to breed them. Are your dogs litter mates (brother and sister)? If so you should not be trying to breed them at all no matter the breed.

Have a look here Rebekah12. It is not legal to breed them !

[Rebekah12]

i am not in the u.k and it's not illegal to breed my dogs and my dogs are no where at all brother and sister look i just came on this website to seek a answer because i'am worred about my dogs and i get a bunch of people put me down because my dogs are breeding so if you don't have a answer to my orginal qusetion don't reply

[ummmm]

Put them down and save a kid.....

My Dad had a staff....yeah, lovely dog. I wouldn't bring my kids in the house unless he put the dog out. What responsible person would????

Nasty, vicious, lock jaw dogs...

[Rebekah12]

my dogs are the most the loving dogs that any one can have and agian it's not the dogs that are bad or nasty or vicious it 's the owners that make them that way and that's not me i love my dogs they are my 4th and 5th child

[ummmm]

Seen people say that on the news loads of times.....after the dogs have bitten a childs face off!!!!!

[lankeela]

I would separate the dog and bitch, and only allow him to mate her once a day while she is receptive, which should only be for one or two days at a time during a heat. If yu let him continually mate her he could damage the bitch or himself and if she gets pregnant you could have a problem with premature puppies, as the sperm can live in the bitch for over a week, so when the first puppies are born there could be others not yet fully developed and therefore either be stillborn or need a lot of intensive care.

Not sure what you mean by pushing everything out, if you mean the sperm then some of it will enter the bitch even if they don't tie (lock up). You are overexerting this dog way too much and the bitch as well, its not fair to her as she cannot say no her hormones just tell her to let the dog mate her while she is ready.

To Boo - not everyone wants a dog that someone else has thrown out probably because of behavioural problems. Some people want particular breeds of dog for different reasons and responsible breeders will only breed when they have enough good homes for their puppies lined up and are willing to take back their puppies throughout their whole lives. I work for my breed rescue and very few are rehomed because of anything other than owners dying or getting too frail to cope with them.
Although many people do want rescue dogs, most seem to want young puppies that have no problems, and are not willing to take on anything that is a bit older or has problems, so they therefore go to breeders to provide exactly what they require.
The answer IMHO would be to licence all breeders and make it illegal to advertise puppies, they should only be sold after application to a breeder, the owner having passed an ownership test to prove they know what they are taking on.

[Rebekah12]

thank you lankeela

[jules77]

Ooh dear, agree with other comments, you are going to give them both a heart attack, and it is irresponsible to let them be together up to 8 times a day!

Also agree with Lankeela about breeders bringing puppies into the world when there are Rescues full of dogs wanting homes. We have a waiting list of people after young adults, and it has been almost 12 months since we have had a bitch needing to be rehomed.

However, I think advertising puppies in the local paper, and sites should as epupz should be banned full stop.

[ummmm]

lol...they say that animals reflect the owners.

Agressive.
