in their first litter? and will it affect her from being not completely developed?

and will colours vary or only be the same as the mother and father?

thankyou give asmuch imput as possible please

Answer 1

Well your vet is an idiot. There is NO good reason for a 9 month old PUPPY to give birth. Are you prepared to hand raise these pups? She is neither physically nor mentally mature to have puppies.

Why the h**l was she outside while in season? You know what never mind there is no GOOD reason. You should have had her spayed when she was out of heat. Secondly if she is still within the first month of her pregnancy YES she can still be spayed.

And you shouldn't CONSIDER it after this litter you SHOULD do it

There is no such thing as an accident with this just owner irresponsibility.

The number of pups is not determined by what litter it is but by how many eggs she released while ovulating. 6-8 is average.

The colors will be whatever is in the parents backgrounds.

ADD: No reputable breeder would ever do this so what makes you think this is even ok? Also if she has papers I know the AKC will NOT register this litter because of her age.

She will probably reject the entire litter or kill them because she has no idea how to handle it. You need to go talk to a husky BREEDER.

Just because she's in heat doesn't mean she needs to be bred.

ADD: No i'm not a vet but my mother was a breeder and a good one at that so I know what I am talking about. And as I said there are no accidents. An intact male will do EVERYTHING to get to the in heat female he can smell. She should have been inside or spayed before her heat to prevent this.

So she's purebred, most of the purebred population doesn't need to be bred.  You don't want to spay her, FINE but as I said be prepared to hand raise her pups. There is no reason for her to have this litter.

Mom- Dogs years don't mean spit. You don't see 9 month old wild canines having litters do you? There is a reason. Pack canines - only the dominant and usually the oldest female is allowed to breed or in the case of foxes and coyotes at 9 months they are usually still living with their parents and helping rear the younger siblings and often don't strike out til age one or two.

If 9 months is fine then why don't reputable breeders breed their b*****s on the first heat? Oh that's right. She's not fully grown, mentally mature and can't have her hips tested.

Answer 2

i checked and all theanswers are on the internet.

Just type in husky care or husky pregnancies or something.

good luck =]

Answer 3

*sigh*

I don't consider leaving a b*tch in season loose in your yard overnight to be an "accident" -- I consider it irresponsible. Common sense dictates that no female in season should be left outside and out of sight, for the very reason that led to this problem -- males can and will jump, chew and even try to breed females through fences.

Here's the deal:

1. The vomiting isn't normal. It's not "morning sickness", and you don't give her Pepto Bismol (there are so many things wrong with "Mommy of 5's" answer that I don't even know where to begin).

2. If you intend to see this pregnancy through on your poor young b*tch, you will need to start supplementing her food NOW. High quality puppy food, cottage cheese, raw hamburger, raw beef liver, everything you can do to get her body ready.

Whelping and raising a litter for 8 weeks takes a lot out of a mature female -- a puppy such as yours is still trying to grow and develop and if you don't feed her properly she WILL have developmental problems. All of the nutrients in her body will go to the developing puppies, and she will have nothing left for herself.

You WILL, of course, get her hips certified/scored when she reaches the proper age (and require the same of the neighbor's male), so that all of the people who get these puppies can have some peace of mind about hip dysplasia. It would also be smart to have both dogs' eyes checked and cleared of cataracts, corneal dystrophy, shallow drainage angles, and all of the genetic eye problems that may pop up in the breed.

You can do that now, and you should continue to do it annually over the next 3-5 years.

If you are very lucky, this one tie will only result in 3-4 puppies, which is typical for a first litter in this breed.

Color should be the least of your concerns right now. If you know anything about the pedigrees of either dog, you will have some idea of what's to be expected in this litter.

I had a pregnant female Siberian come into my rescue several years ago -- she was 11 months old and no preparations had been made for her litter (including feeding, health care, etc.). She went into labor, and then uterine inertia (google it...it happens in young dogs); we had to c-section a litter of 3 out of her, and one had to be revived by the vet. Her body didn't have enough prior nutrition to produce enough milk, even for 3 puppies; it took almost a week to come in.

If you refuse to spay, prepare well, so this doesn't happen to your girl.

Answer 4

Responsible breeders NEVER breed that young due to the risk of complications.... as well as the fact that the pups while growing leech essential nutrients from their young, still growing dam.  So, while your b*tch may survive and may even be a decent dam, you will NEVER KNOW what she COULD have been as far as size and maturity.  

You'll have to hope that these pups don't cause her to be dysplastic when she matures, that she doesn't become arthritic at age 8 instead of at age 11.  You'll have to hope that her pups are properly nourished inutero so that THEY don't end up with structural issues.  You'll have to hope that neither line of these dogs has issues that show up only when the dog is close to adulthood -- Did you know that juvenile onset cataracts sometimes show up between 14 and 24 months?  Hopefully you won't be sued by puppy owners if the pups develop anything nasty (now would be a good time to review your state's puppy lemon law).

Colors will depend upon what is behind the parents.  

There are thousands of poorly bred purebred huskies who are homeless every year.  How do you plan on guaranteeing none of your pups becomes one of the statistics?  How do you plan on guaranteeing none of your pups become puppymill fodder?

I breed dogs.  Yet, if I had a b*tch who "accidentally" (through my own stupidity) became pregnant at 9 months I would SPAY my highly pedigreed b*tch BECAUSE it would be what is best for HER.

My positive and helpful advice is:

find another vet

spay her now- before the pups leech her body of the nutrients she needs to finish growing and maturing properly

spay her now- before you end up having to figure out how to deal with 6 barking little pups at 3:00 a.m.

spay her now- before you have to figure out how you're going to attempt to maintain your sanity until the pups are 8 weeks of age and you can place them

spaying her now will cost a lot less than a c-section ... and will cost less than all the vet visits, dew claw removal, wormings, shots, high quality puppy food, toys and time off work.

Answer 5

Wow, I'm just shocked you had a puppy in heat stay outside. Most people  have common sense to think, "hmm, my b*tch isin heat, male dogs will be able to smell her and will do anything to get to her". I understand accidents can happen but this is more than that, you weren't thinking. Your vet is an idiot. Plain and simple. Puppies (9 month olds) can not be tested for common health problems with CERF, OFA, and BAER which should all be done if you plan on breeding.

Be prepared to hand raise all of these pups as your b*tch is too young to understand what motherhood is as she is still a puppy herself. That means getting up EVERY 2 hours to feed them and you might have to help them potty too. You want to do this for at least the first 5 weeks before starting to wean them. Also, depending on how big the sire is, your b*tch might need a c-section or she could die in labor because her body isn't fully mature to host puppies.

Colors vary depending on what the grandparents look like, its all about the genes. If you don't know these things then you should get an emergency spay and right away. Do you people know anything about genetics? It doesn't just matter about the parents, you have to look back at the grandparents as well.

This is my pups dam and sire. A solid blue and solid seal.

This is my dog. A pied seal. Clearly there is a pied grandparent somewhere in the lines.

Your poor b*tch, she relies on you for everything and you let her down, and at such a young age too....

The Backyard Breeders' and Puppy Millers' Big Book of Old Excuses

© Denna Pace 2001

1. When called on bad breeding practices, ALWAYS claim that you are merely an innocent posting as a favor to a friend or family member.

2. Point out that everybody you know breeds this way, therefore it must be

okay.

3. Claim that "s****. show breeders" are only criticizing you because they

want to corner the market on puppy profit.

4. Claim that a Champion in the pedigree is just as good as 56 Champions in the pedigree. Not that it matters, because you doubt that there is such a

thing as a dog with 56 champions in the pedigree.

5. Claim that you are just trying to produce good pets, therefore good pets

are all you need for breeding.

6. When asked about health testing, enthusiastically point out that your

***** had a health checkup before breeding.

7. Be sure to mention that you do not need to run such health tests as OFA,

CERF, thyroid, cardiac, patellae, etc., because your dogs look healthy and

had no visible problems at their last vet checkup.

8. Point out that these tests cost too much and would cut into your profit

margin. Be sure to champion the right of poor people to breed dogs.

9. Confidently assure worried rescuers that no puppy you produce, or any of

their puppies or grand puppies or great-grandpuppies will end up in shelters

because you have a bunch of friends who have told you that they'd like a pup

from your *****.

10. Point out that you don't need Championships or working titles on your

dogs because you are breeding for temperament and your dog is really sweet.

11. Silence those annoying people who ask about your health guarantee by

assuring them that buyers can return any sick puppies and you will replace

it with another pup as long as it got sick within a certain amount of time

of sale and as long as you don't think the buyer did something to make the

puppy sick.

12. If your breed or line is rare (or you have a "rare" color, or believe

your breed or color is rare), be sure to remind everyone that you do not

need to show, temperament test, or health test your breeding stock because

you are doing the world a service by continuing this "rare" breed/color/line.

13. No matter what anyone else says, claim that you obviously know what you are doing because you've been breeding for a long time. Point to the

hundreds of puppies you've pumped out over the years as proof.

14. If this is your first attempt at breeding, make sure to remind everyone

that you HAVE to breed your dog because how else are you going to learn how to breed?

15. Assure everyone that your dog does not need to be shown because you were assured by someone at Petsmart/the park/the vet's office/a friend that your dog is a perfect example of the breed.

16. Always remember that "rare" colors, oversized or undersized dogs, and

mixes of popular breeds are great selling points. Anyone who doesn't think

so is obviously not in tune with their customers' wishes.

17. Claim that your dogs are better because they are not inbred, as

inbreeding obviously produces sick/stupid/deformed dogs. If breeding poo [as in "c**k-a-Poo," "Peek-a-Poo," etc.] dogs or other mutts, always point to "hybrid vigor" as proof of your dogs' superiority.

18. Remind everyone that you do not need a waiting list because your puppies are cute.

19. Assure everyone that your puppies will not end up in shelters because

they are cute.

20. Claim that YOUR breed never ends up in shelters in your area, therefore

your puppies will never end up in shelters.

21. If asked why you think your dogs are breeding quality, point out that

they "have papers." Extra points awarded for using the phrase "AKC

Certified." Double points if those papers come from the Continental Kennel

Club.

22. If you sell a sick puppy, always blame the owners for making it sick. If

the owners are clearly not responsible, blame their vet. (see #11)

23. If presented with irrefutable evidence proving you wrong on any excuses

you have used, pretend your server did not receive the post/e-mail.

24. Claim that none of the rules of ethical breeding apply to you because

you only intend to have one litter and therefore aren't a "real" breeder.

25. If all else fails, tell everyone who criticizes you to "get a life."

Answer 6

As she's still a puppy herself, and won't be fully grown until up to 2 years old, she may reject her puppies (huskies generally have relatively large litters - lots of hand feeding every 2 hours!) from being so young and not physically or mentally developed. Regarding her actually being harmed growth wise from being pregnant during her first heat I don't know you should ask the vet. Any vet that tells you it's ok for a puppy to have puppies is an idiot, it's certainly NOT ok.

As she is so young she is not health tested, you're likely not to have studied both dogs pedigree therefore you may end up with some very sickly and possibly even puppies with related parents. It's not about the homes, many puppies have homes to begin with it's where they'll end up once those people decide they don't want a dog with hip dysplasia or they can't afford life-long medication.

No responsible dog owner would buy a puppy from you, so where do you reckon some, or most, of these will end up? The responsible owner would spay their dog and not leave her un-attended in heat outside at night. Why are you so against spaying? Having puppies is the worst thing you can do to her right now.

I'd expect 3-6 puppies and the colours can be whatever prominant and recessive genes each parent has - I'd look into their pedigree if I were you.

Answer 7

You should ask your vet about the vomiting, it is a little different with humans and dogs with morning sickness. I don't think you can ease her pain because she is probably not painful because she is pregnant. She should not get any medication because that would go to the puppies through their umbilical cord. Huskies are big dogs and they usually have about 4-6 puppies but could have more depending on the moms and dads size. I would try and find homes BEFORE the puppies are born because it will be SOOO much work once they are born. I would ask the Vet as many questions as possible and ask them exactly how you need to take care of your dog while she is in labor and how to make sure the puppies are alive and breathing. Learning about potty training and the feedings will be important as well. The fact that she is 9 months old is OK but not ideal because she is not completely going through puberty yet and not totally mature but she should be fine. It will not effect her in a bad way. The colors do depend on both the mom and dad..its a mix!  

Answer 8

She is way too young to have puppies, and if your Vet says otherwise he is an idiot.  Please have the pups aborted asap & get her spayed if you don't intend breeding (when she is old enough) oh - and get a new vet!

Also - dogs don't get morning sickness - is she is vomiting it's a bad sign

Answer 9

Mommy of 5: You can't really compare dog age to human age in this case (though if you want to, this dog is the equivalent of an under seven-year-old child... one human year equals seven dog years, but humans at seven shouldn't have children either.) The point is that the b*tch isn't fully developed physically OR mentally.

Letting this dog whelp opens a whole world of possibilities, all of which could end in death of mom or pups. Your vet is an idiot to say "let her have the puppies." I've never met a vet that didn't say "spay your dog" in a case like this. Ever. They should know how taxing it is on a maturing body and how difficult it would be on her mind. Find a different vet. Get another opinion.

I'm sorry if you only wanted to hear the good stuff, but the fact here is that there really is none. You left your dog outside, alone and unsupervised. Now you have to pay the consequences. Step up to the plate and SHOW how responsible you can be - spay your dog now, and don't make her go through this. She. Is. Too. Young.

FYI purebred means nothing. You did not study her background or genes to make sure they would be compatible with the stud dog. How do you even know that they aren't related in some way? Anything is possible. Heck, the pups could end up with severe defects or something. Neither dog was genetic tested - how would you feel if the whole litter were born with debilitating hip or elbow problems?

Answer 10

Don't worry about what ppl say. PPL have no life and are straight up mean.

For the throwing up I would try Pep-to. Check with the vet to make sure it is safe. But I am about 99.9% sure that it is.

There will be all different kinds of colors. Unfortunately it depends on who has the stronger jean.

Litter sizes very. I've always been told that that the first litter is always small. But my daughter had 8 pups and she is just a rat terrier.

Accidents can happen. Just get her spayed. That's what I did.

Hope this helps, good luck!
