I have a male Pit Bull............?

Question

he's 1 year old, i want to get a FEMALE West Highland Terrier puppy.

my Pit is a special blood line so i will not neuter him.

the Westie is of a pedigree, so i will not spay her

What if they hump each other and have babies!!??

how can i prevent this??

Answer 1

simple you seperate them during heat

you really need to pick up a good book on dog holding, thats like elementary knowledge

you are aware they need socialisation and training, pits are a dog breed that if not socialised corect is not very resceptible to other dogs (any dogs can be if not raised corectly but some dogs are less of pack animals then others, and pits belong to that type of group)

so make sure the introduction go well

you do not have the knowledge needed to get into the breeding game by far yet, and likelyhood is your dogs aint up to standards as responsible breeders place breeding animals in hands of experienced owners, or owners who maintain contact with to learn the right way to breed. Oh and btw there is no reason not to fix the male, if he was a purebreed pedigree dog you would call him American Staffordshire Terrier, not pittbull, the only pedigree you could have on him as such is from one of the bogus registreries where those breeders who aint serious registrer their dogs. And I am sertain if the line was so grand, those who made it originaly back then would have transfered it into the AKC register when they had the option (the breed book been open several times throughout the 1900's), if you lack on this knowledge then I'd not be surpriced if your westie have the same type of "pedigree".  AKC is the National kennel club, its the club created officialy for your nation, all serious breeders would be working with that club, the other registreries are just for people who do not want to be seirous, that do not want to be responsible and aint interested in laying down the work they should to ensure good dogbreeding.

on the other hand for those who say its imposible to keep two whole dogs ...they are utterly wrong, a responsible dog owner can do it, europeans do it all the time without having near the same problems as the US dog owner have, in my eyes the inability to do so is nothing but ignorance and irresponsibility, neuturing is utterly unesicary for a responsible dog owner (now what that says of the average US dogowner is something you can make up your own mind on), but almost no one in europe do it without having all these issues you have in US

however they train and control their dogs, hence they prove its posible to do so. What you need are a good dog yard, as well as knowledge on how to see when the brood get in heat so you can mark it down, and help you keep her safely away from the male during heat periods. The male will adjust to living with a female going into heat, training also comes into it.

Make sure if your female is not good at cleaning herself that you have her wear a paded trouse, and clean up any spots from the floor when you bring your male in, the dogs are never to be in contact, so you have to have an intermediate room, you shut the inside dog in it, bring the other dog in, shut that dig in another room, and bring dog 1 out into the yard.

The fence of the dog yard need to be 1'5'' into the ground and at least 6'5'' into the air.

When the male come in you do not allow him to go rampart, let him sniff around some a min or two, then tell him to go lay down, say No if you see him trying to lift his leg to mark. The dog will learn that its not acceptable to go rampart just cause there is smell in the house, and its better to come get cudled then lay alone in a corner, silent whining is allowed, barking not. After a few periods if the male is well trained, yes he will get mildly stressed, but he wont spazz out.

And anyone saying different, well how do they know if they never tried holding whole dogs? afterall estimated 90-95 % of US dogs get spayed, how do i know? I grown up in europe, my parents have dogs of both genders, and i know many many others who have both genders as well, and all of them whole, i never known anyone where i grew up who fixed their dogs, its totaly unatural, and we still dont have agression problems, behavioural issues, constant litters and the many other horrors US dog owners swear you will get if you dont neuture your dogs, hence we proved it posible to do without neuturing by simply gaining a lil knowledge, training the dogs, and be responsible in our dogholding...aka we control our dogs (not the other way around).

Answer 2

Come on there is no way at all to have them not have s*x it is nature so unless you want to put a lot of "mutts" in a pound fix one of them and potentially save the lives of a lot of puppies that sounds like you will not take care of because they do not have "special blood lines"

Answer 3

Who cares how long his blood line has been around for.  You got him for a companion, right?  Then get him fixed.  Are you planning to breed him?  If your female gets pregnant it could be deadly for her.  Westies are much smaller than Pit Bulls and it is never a good idea to breed pets and create unwanted puppies.  If you care for your companion animals then you would do the right thing and quit trying to impress people with your dogs pedigree.

Answer 4

the westies a pedigree doesnt mean she doesnt have to be not spayed I own a neutered purebreed black english lab which is special, just beacause hes special doesnt he has to have puppies

Answer 5

Are you going to breed this male Pit of yours?  And the Westie for that matter?  I appreciate that you say your dogs are from good bloodlines, and that's nice.  However there are a thounsand and one pitbulls and pitbull crosses out there, some with great bloodlines and some with horrible ones.  Both of these varieties are being killed in shelters every day.  I realize that you place a lot of value in your Pit, but there are so many out there.

The same goes for your Westie actually, although they don't suffer from as much overbreeding as Pits have.

But to answer your real question, having an unfixed female and an unfixmed male is torture for them both.. they're going to try their darndest to mate, not for "making babies" (which is just a sideffect), but a release.  The longer you have them, the greater the chances of an accidental breeding.  Unless you keep them in seperate parts of the house, yard, kitchen, etc, it's almost impossible to keep your eye on them 24/7.  

Answer 6

The only way I know to be sure this doesn't happen is to spay or neuter one of them.

Answer 7

You can't. There is always the chance. A special blood line? Does your pit have a CH title? Is he health tested? If not, then you don't need to breed him. He is only pet quality and you can neuter him. Same with the female. No CH title, no health testing? Then she's only pet quality too. Get her spayed.

Answer 8

Aside from neutering/spaying them, there is no other way to prevent that from hapening aside from not allowing them near eachother when you are not there to closely watch.

I do not understand why you can not just get them fixed?!?
