How to keep my dog not pregnant for a year?

Question

My 3 year old beagle just had a litter of puppies about 10 weeks ago. We don't want her to have puppies for a year. Is there anyway to keep her from getting pregnant for a year? By the way, the father is on premises. We don't want to have to fix/spay either of them.

Answer 1

The only way to guarantee it is to have one or both of them fixed.

Answer 2

When she comes into heat you can put little panties on her. I'm serious! They are a great way to keep her clean and it's not embarrassing at all. There are many good websites for them. They're not that cheap, but they do a great job. Petco has them, Petsmart has them, and dogpanties.com has them.

Answer 3

BYB in training?

Haven't you spent any time at the local Humane Society or Animal Control?

Have you ever seen a dog euthanized because nobody wants him/her?

Ever seen a pile of dogs that have been euthanized then disposed of? Well they have to do something with them.

I would gamble that not one pup you allowed to be created is going into a prescreened home and on spay/neuter contract.

I think it should be mandatory for every person that wants to own a pet left intact to be required to volunteer a minimum amount of time at the Humane Society. This way they can see the end results of their profit/work.

Answer 4

the only way that I can think of is to crate her when she goes into heat again and to make sure that when you let her go you have her leashed and then maybe secure the male dog before you do.

Answer 5

This is why most reputable breeders don't keep both dogs and b1tches together. If you haven't the facilities to keep them completely apart, accidents are bound to happen.

You can crate them but just keeping one in a crate isn't sufficient - they can find a way to mate through wire!  

Answer 6

Get her spayed. Do you realize how many pure bred beagles are euthanized in kill shelters every year? Stop breeding your dog.

Answer 7

Neuter both dogs.  There is NO reason for you to breed more puppies.  There is a huge overpopulation problem in the US, and you're contributing to it.  Do you prove your breeding stock in the ring?  In the field?  Do you health test for hip dysplasia, juvenile cataracts, check for epilepsy in the pedigree?  Of course you don't.  

NEUTER BOTH DOGS.

Answer 8

keep away her from male dogs  

Answer 9

Keep them separate when she is in heat for 3 weeks twice a year.  If you can't do this, you shouldn't be breeding.

Answer 10

My first thought is to ask why you wouldn't want to spay or neuter them?  In altering a male, you reduce the possibility of developing a testosterone based cancer.  Your female has probably already been through 3 heat cycles, so her risk of breast cancer remains at 50%.  But, you are still risking pyometria - which can be "open", where you would see and/or smell it, or "closed" where you don't know she has it until she is really sick.

Now, to answer your question - you can keep a female from coming into season by using a product called "check drops", that you can get from your veterinarian.

Sorry about the soap box at the beginning, but thought you might want to be aware of what not altering can do.
