    At least till the first time she comes in season… then you are in for a real shock!!!! These girls turn into "sluts"... totally!!!!!

  • Not always. Rally has always remained firm in her belief that Nicky would never be the father of her puppies, EVER! She also would prefer that he not sire any of her grandchildren either, even if he is neutered.

    Yeah….a couple of mine would NEVER fall into the "slut" category. More like the "nun" category ;)

  • Here is a question regarding a bitch in season.
    At what age do bitches go into season generally. Is it after they are a year old or is it sooner.
    Also, should I be training her to wear panties right now. God forbid…with her in season...our house will NOT look like it is too!
    People have told me to just put blankets all over the place...I don't like that idea too much.

    When Ruby was in season, it really was no big deal as far as any sort of mess. I was kind of surprised. She kept herself so clean the only places I ever saw blood were on her beds (removable covers), her crate blanket, and my comforter duvet (again removable) from while she was sleeping. There were a few spots on the wood floors, but otherwise, it really wasn't too bad. There was no way in heck Ruby would have ever stood for wearing any sort of pants so I didn't even try it.

  • Sugar tends to eat her pants. So she gets them on when supervised only-the rest of the time (since she has a crate issue for the most part) everything is covered in cheap sheets that I buy at walmart that actually look like covers!

  • They can come in from 5 to 6 months of age… but usually they follow the usual time for bitches and that is typically Sept/Oct time frame. Good luck on the pants... mine would never wear them and there was only a week or so that they didn't keep themselves super clean.. and I had 4 in season at one time... I would just cover the furniture and then shampoo the carpets after it was over...

  • Hopefully she will keep herself preatty clean. I've tossed the idea of trying out panties but I figure she will destroy them. She is one stubborn tri who makes it a point to put up a good fight. (argh)

  • My girls keep themselves pretty clean. The first heat is usually the messiest, and even then, it isn't too bad. The place I notice it the most is if they sleep in the bed, then I recommend you get a set of DARK sheets and duvet cover ;)

    I don't care fore the britches, because every female I have used them on got a vaginits infection because they couldn't keep herself clean.

    @alibobo Echoing what Sally (and Liz McCargo) has suggested re: not spaying/neutering, at least at this young age. There's a very insightful and thoroughly informative booklet by the "Puppy Culture" founder on the subject. It is chockful of the latest scientific/medical/genetic research and also takes into consideration the social "pressure" of neutering/spaying one's pet. (BF should read a few pages if he prefers facts to oft repeated false tales) https://my.puppyculture.co.uk/resources/flipbook/spay-neuter-booklet/ Whether to neuter/spay is an important decision and so is its timing should you decide to have the operation.

    He actually does go in our other dog's crate to steal food and my wife actually caught him laying down in the bed in it. Nothing is ever impossible. We did try crating him for a short car ride and he chewed through his lead trying to escape.

    Cooper is a rescue of unknown origin (found as a stray, in a shelter for their maximum time, then to an all-breed rescue group). His ears are somewhat offset at resting position and his tail was docked before he was found as a stray, but he otherwise looks and acts like a trindle basenji. We occasionally entertain the idea that he may be part rat terrier or something else of similar size and color, but he has to be at least 75% basenji.

    Congratulations, that is great! Ayo sounds like he's doing well. Keep the updates coming. It's great that he's gaining weight. We would love to see some pics of Ayo with some meat on his bones.

    Dr. Watkins was so impressed with how well the wound looked yesterday that the cone collar is officially off now! Baron is so happy to be rid of that thing and so am I. That was his last check up. Thank you to everyone for your positive vibes, prayers, and well wishes. Basenjimamma, thank you for the tip. I will keep this in mind for any future injuries and wounds. :)
