How soon can a bitch get pregnant?
« on: April 14, 2009, 08:25:52 PM »
How soon can a bitch get pregnant after giving birth? My friends family have just got a puppy and said that the bitch was already pregnant with the next lot  :o :o. I didn't think this was possible! She said they mated her in 'foal heat' as they do with horses - but horses are pregnant for eleven months so have a bit longer to recover! Please someone tell me that my friend got this wrong as I can't stop thinking about the poor puppy machine (ie money making  >:() dog   :'( :'(. Oh and I should have pups from Millie and Charlie as I could make about £5000  ::).

Unless there is something magical about their 'money making machine'  >:D >:D poor little girl  :'( :'( then it is not possible to be pregnant until their next season, which is usually 5 - 6 months after the litter.  Even this would be far too soon, if these sub humans would care to take a step backwards and consider the wellbeing/health of the mum (oops i meant their bank balance).  How can they sleep at night.  >:D

that appauling... and to be honest really bloomin cruel to do that to a dog.  I can't remember how quickly you can mate a bitch after a litter but my dogs have always been interested in a bitch whose recently had a litter.

This sort of thing makes me so angry, we have so many going into rescue even young puppies that the money tree attitude just makes me sick, no care about the dogs, no care for the breed and shitty breeding unlikely to have had health testing done :'( Unfortunately some people just see the £ signs and don't care about anything else.

My friend's bitch cycles every 5 months and 2 weeks (almost to the day).  So she came into season about 6 weeks after her litter left for their new homes.  So hypothetically she could have become pregnant on that season if she had been mated.

and I'll bet they advertise them as home bred pups rather than PF ones, but when you think they're no different really than PFs if they keep breeding like this
