Puppy Panties

  • VanessaV

    I am looking for a few pair of comfortable puppy panties for Kiya. She will be going into heat in the next few months and I would like to introduce these to her now so she will become more comfortable in em. I went to the local pet store last night and found ones that were rather poor quality and not to mention ugly!
    Does anyone know of any good ones???
    Thank you

    My agility instuctor sells them. I just purchased some for my girls so they can go to class while in season.

    The best fitting ones I have ever seen are Bitch Britches. The are knitted and fit snuggly with no bunching or sagging.

    Lisa,
    Could you bring a pair to the banquet this weekend. I'd love to see how they look.
    Thanks

    Because I requested specific fabrics and she wanted to ensure the tail hole was in the right place and the right size so they could still feel comfortable, I will be picking them up next Thursday. I can take picture to post when I get them.

    The tail hole has been my biggest issue with most of the commercially available ones. The placement isn't quite right and the girls then feel like they can not hold their tail correctly and then they chew them off.

    We tried these on the girls and they didn't seem to mind them. They curled their tails as the normally do. Of course, I only forsee myself using them when we are at agility class so they won't have to wear them very long.

    One can also use childrens underwear I took my son´s old undies (age 2-3) put them on then felt were the tail was and cut out a small hole if they are to loose then tie a small knot I used a hairband.On the inside I first tried an ordinary sanity pad she hated it went back to the store and saw pad´s for thongs and voila she accepted them.Now if I only could get the whimpering big brother to be quiet he can´t understand why he can´t mate his little sister oh well soon it´ll be over and life goes back to normal I hope;)

    The following site has them at a reasonable price plus if you click on Color/Pattern choices at the bottom of the page, you can see exactly how to measure your girl to get the correct size: http://nu-nee.tripod.com/bb.htm

    Whatever you decide to use try to remember that the likelihood they last more than a day is low unless you are incredibly vigilant. Personally, I gave up on the panties. The bleeding was never very much & Ella kept herself incredibly clean so I rarely saw or had blood spots to clean up. The worst were my sheets (yes, my spoiled B sleeps under the covers at my feet). I tried keeping panties on her but by morning they were shredded as well as sanitary napkin bits everywhere. It was cheaper just to change my sheets daily.

    @Chealsie508: I am a born skeptic and although I am not a breeder I would feel uncomfortable placing a puppy into a home when you 1: haven't been able to meet them or 2: haven't been "vetted" by someone you know. It is so easy for a breeder to sell a puppy on a spay/ neuter contract but hard to enforce once the puppy leaves you. People can make themselves seem like exactly what you want until they get what they want. I'm also not a breeder, but have friends who are. And I have seen this equation from the other side, twice as a puppy buyer (in both cases I visited, met the parents of the pups, had conversations with the breeders, etc.) and three times adopting older dogs. On one occasion the dog was shipped to me from Washington State…...but that was set up between the breeder in Washington who was looking for a home for a returned dog of hers and a breeder I had previously purchased a pup from, and who went with me to pick up the dog at the airport! I think it is best to have personal contact if you can, but you can get a fairly good "feel" for people by talking to them. Internet may work for an initial connection, but I would want telephone contact at the very least. I agree with Chealsie508 that "People can make themselves seem like exactly what you want until they get what they want." My close friend who breeds Pyrenees has had situations that seemed ideal turn out to be anything but, and on other occasions placements that she was a bit concerned about turned out to be just great. When in doubt, going with your instincts may work, but not always. No guarantees, and it is very difficult to enforce contracts once the dog is out of your hands. Once upon a time I thought I might sell a horse or two. Nope. Couldn't do it. Still got 'em, and they will die here. Glad I never bred my bitch! :)

    Why Do Puppies Cost So Much?

    So, the fanconi is on each pups or on the parents or both? I was making some accouints about how much can expect to spent on a future litter.. well here on Mexico.. the people dosnt make hip, eyes or worst.. the fanconi.. but anyway the pups are sell for aprox 400 us.. but there is no explanation about the cost.. I think there is no need to put on the account the food of the parents, electricity and so .. because the parents food are responsible of the owner.. i dont expect that someone pay for the cost to me to have an basenji.. but well there are other cost that i see is ok to include.

    Yes, she's my favorite. She's so pretty… She may just grow up to be a spectacular bitch. I hope to see her pics as an adult.

    Also, as they are so cat like, folks don't understand their not "listening". So the corrections get harsher and harsher. Sigh. Education is the key for folks…until they do, we will have many dogs in the wrong homes.

    Mollysmom-gosh I'm so sorry that your breeder just went MIA like that. It's tough when you first get these little furballs you could use all the guidance you can get. And usually they are very helpful. Hang in there & please come back here & post questions or concerns…there's lots of good info in this forum. Check out the health section so you can read up on some of the things basenjis are prone to. Since you (and your friend's B girl) don't have any background you won't have any idea what she me be predisposed to. It will help you out in the future to know the warning signs & symptoms of the various potential health problems. Good luck & I hope you post some pics of your little Molly :)
