    That's too bad. You admitted too young. You can get her spayed now, stop the pregnancy.

    Is there something wrong with you!! Get rid of her puppies how cruel are you! I don't know where some of your people come from my dogs 3 years old and I thinks it's only natural to have at least one litter like every female!!!

    Which is more cruel? Breeding a dog you admit is too young, or stopping the pregnancy? As for your name calling... tut tut. As for disgusted... that fits backyard breeding, and breeding dogs too young. Funny you now claim 3 yrs old. So even if not too young, no health testing. And no, it isn't "natural" to have a litter just because it's a female. Only the best, health tested, generations of health testing preferably, quality and proven dogs should be bred. The rest deserve to be loved, not used as puppy manufacturing machines. Purposefully creating pets is irresponsible.

    But I will help you with one thing... this is a public board. If you post, people can reply. I noted you deleted all your previous posts because you didn't like the answers or were hoping people would forget what you posted, perhaps. It will help you in the future to remember that if you don't want responses, you may want to not post on public boards.

    Thanks for the advice. I have done all the reading into breeding for the last two years. I am aware of these things and she is a registered bulldog with good champions in her blood line. I was unsure to her cycle as it should be a lot heavier by now ... I was thinking maybe her body isn't mature enough yet so there for I won't be breeding her until then.

    I really am curious why you are even posting here about a bulldog. You do realize this is a Basenji board, right?

    So what? Has she herself shown or done anything of note? Bloodlines are irrelevant if the bitch herself is unproven. There are lots of so-so animals out there with a good pedigree.

    As far as people "telling you what to do with your dog", when you posted on this board you invited comments and should have expected they wouldn't necessarily be positive or what you wanted to hear. And yes, why post on a Basenji breed forum when you have a bulldog? Maybe try this on for size. (or did you end up here because the bulldog forums didn't tell you what you wanted to hear??)

    "In order to get along with a Basenji, you have to be at least half as smart as the dog!"

    Really? What is her registered name... cause I'm pretty willing to bet there are no health certifications. Bulldogs have MASSIVE health issues and require a lot of health tests. Here are the CHIC requirements.

    Patellar Luxation
    OFA evaluation, minimum age 1 year

    Cardiac Evaluation
    Congenital Cardiac Exam, exam by Boarded Cardiologist, using echo preferred, but not required. - OR
    Advanced Cardiac Exam

    Tracheal Hypoplasia
    OFA radiographic evaluation for Tracheal Hypoplasia.

    Eye Examination by a boarded ACVO Ophthalmologist- after the age of 24 months (Optional)
    Results registered with OFA - OR
    Results registered with CERF

    THEN the optional ones, which responsible breeders do!

    Eye Examination by a boarded ACVO Ophthalmologist- after the age of 24 months (Optional)
    Results registered with OFA - OR
    Results registered with CERF

    Hip Dysplasia (Optional)
    OFA Evaluation

    Elbow Dysplasia (Optional)
    OFA Evaluation

    Autoimmune thyroiditis (Optional)
    OFA evaluation from an approved laboratory

    Congenital Deafness (Optional)
    OFA evaluation based on BAER test

    I learned about bulldogs from my friends Norma and Frank Hugo of Hugo Bulls. They have over 150 specialty wins since 1967. I have seen the trauma of heart disease, cleft palates, and idiots who don't know they require c-sections until their bitch starts to whelp and crush the rib cages of their puppies.. or die because they can't deliver them. Breeding basenjis is a breeze compared to bulldogs. You say you have read for years, but I would bet I learned more from hanging with Norma over 30 yrs ago than you have.

    For the record, it is "bred" not "bread".

    We had Juniper spayed about a month ago at 8 months old. Everything went well and her scar is almost healed…thankfully she doesn't seem to have lost any of her zeal! The vet said her sex organs looked as developed as a 3 y/o dog and it was they were the most mature looking sex organs he'd ever seen in 20 years of spaying and neutering. Believe it or not she went into a false labor after the spaying; about a week after the surgery her teats swelled up and when we took her to the vet he apparently squeezed out some milk! She was acting fairly normal but it was just as odd as it sounds! The vet said its rare but it can happen after a spaying because the hormone changes are similar to that of post-delivery. I did some research online and apparently false labors are common among wild wolves where the non-pregnant females will go into a false labor to provide milk and nurturing for offspring in the pack that are not their own.

    @Buddys: all those male dogs at your front door! I mentioned to my brother who is a first time girl puppy owner, and he laughed when I told him to look out for the male dogs. The other day, a blind dog who never goes outside ended up sniffing at his front door from down the street!!!! talk about a sex drive! Exactly, most people do not believe you when you tell them that male dogs will do most anything to get at a bitch in season. Years ago when I had 3 bitches in season at one time, there was a very old in-tact Lab that lived 4 blocks away… He had to be at least 14. But as soon as the girls were "ripe" and ready, there he would be walking back and forth in front of the house.... never saw that dog any other time

    I REALLY wanted the plaque vaccine to pan out. When it came out, my vets (who are cautious) said to wait a couple of years. Well, it has been found safe, but they discontinued it as it doesn't work. I really need a miracle. Though the truth is, she is good about it now and heck, I spent more time grooming the chow 2x a week than I do brushing her teeth every night. I still have to get them cleaned every 3 mos though. My vet recommended trying a water pik. ROFLMAO, me and what army? Sigh. So we just keep getting them cleaned. For the record, she isn't forming tartar, it is the actual plaque her gums react to. http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/dvm/Breaking+News/Pfizer-discontinues-production-of-veterinary-perio/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/718560

    My pup's first heat was when she was a little over 10 months old. She had been around many girls that were in heat a month and a half before she went in and I had hoped that she would be in and over her heat before she returned to me from her show road trip LOL - no such luck. :D:D.
