This is going to sound horrible sorry. My dog is pregnant. Do I desex her, or let her have the puppies?
This is going to sound horrible sorry. My dog is pregnant. Do I desex her, or let her have the puppies? Dog Breed Discussions
I don't want to have to make a decision like this, but I couldn't bear the thought of the puppies coming into this world and being miserable if they go to bad homes. They will be kelpie cross cattle dog, and I hate the way the majority of farmers treat working dogs, so I am really worried as this sort of dog will only attract farmers. I will do my best to give them to a great home, but people can seem nice. If I get her desexed, therefore puppies put down, I feel so terrible. I feel cruel. I will have the money in two weeks, so that will make the puppies about 5 weeks old inside her. What's the best thing for the puppies? Anyone else had to make a decision like this?Very suprised at some rude answers from people who think they are holier than thou. Don't judge me when you don't know me. I rescued this dog and she was so abused and starved I was able to desex her as she wasn't strong enough for the operation. A male dog dug his way under the fence and mated with her. I have now got her strong enough and healthy enough to have the operation, but it's too late. Now I am trying to think what's best for the puppies. A farmer wouldn't always want a cross bred dog from a non-breeder, but there is a chance as I live in a farming community. That's where the cattle dog came from in the first place. I think you should direct your sarcasim to someone who actually treats their dogs like shit and abuses them.I should also mention there are some really kind and supportive answers, so thankyou
