My 2 year old JRT has come into season after a years wait!? Everytime she is in season she acts like she is dying, is really grumpy and tetchy and spends all day shaking and cleaning her private parts. I did'nt have her done because we have a Patterdale dog who I wanted to breed her with. She is about 8 days into her season and wont let him anywhere near him.

He is young (9 months) so neither of them know what its all about. He just wants to play but she bites him and snarles at him then she acts like he has beaten her up, squeals and then runs of.

This is the same bitch that still has submissive urination problems and is - in my own words - one of lifes 'victims'..

There is nothing physically wrong with her and I have seperated them so she can have some peace but I honestly doubt she is going to let him mate her..

Will she magically just change her mind and let him or is she dead against it??

If nothing happens after this season I am taking her to be spayed as I cant cope with her neurotic behavior..

Advice Please..
 
Hmm...we had a bitch who didn't want to be mated.

We took her over to a German dog in England and she nearly took his face off so we decided not to bother.

The second time, she had to go back to her breeder for several months because she kept attacking our older female. Whilst there, her breeder muzzled her and put her to a complete wingnut (but he was a Champion) and the pups were all mental, just like their father and dog aggressive, like their mother.

She was then put to a lovely dog who she quite liked but there was a complication and all the pups died.

So, I think that tells us something. To be honest your female will probably transmit her weak character onto the puppies too and it sounds like it would be better for all concerned if she was spayed.

I also don't like the idea of a nine month old male siring litters, sorry!
 
Agree with the above posts, if she does not want to be mated, I certainly would not force it, there is a reason she does not wan this, and if forced she could well reject the puppies or loose them.
I would also not breed from a bitch as neurotic as u describe,
some bitches do withdraw when in season.

I board a fox terrier, the owners where adamant they wanted a litter from her, she was also neurotic, with aggressive tendancies also, I told them she would not stand, she hated other dogs with a passion, she had some really bad seasons, and eventaully she attacked the stud dog, and took a chunk out of his eye and bit the owner

Good point from Cala - while our bitch was not neurotic, she was very independent and had to be watched like a hawk, she was not maternal at all and used to leave them all the time and wouldn't let the one pup we did retain anywhere near her, eat out of the same bowl as her etc.

Some just aren't cut out to be mummies.
 
She is very submissive but not 'aggressive' just plays the under dog card. Agree that I wouldnt want puppies of a similar nature however she is very loving 99% of the time, just has rejected him and gone into a sort of 'depression' whilst in this season.

I wont force the issue and I will keep them seperate as I feel that gauging by her recent behavior this is not the right path for her. I will get her spayed after this season.

Does anyone know if spaying will improve the submissive behavior etc.

Thanks for your replies.
 
I thought they wouldn't stand for a dog until they were fertile which if my memory serves me right, it is so many years since I had a non spayed bitch, about 20 days? So after 8 days she wouldn't be ready, and him being inexperienced won't know that.
Do think carefully why you want the litter, there are lots of patterdales x JRTs out there looking for homes.
 
i know what u mean about when a bitch just does not want to breed... we have a 3yr old golden cocker spaniel who has a really good pedigree with no neuroses or genetic complaints.... generally she is quite a kinky dog and tries and straddles your foot (really embarassing when guests come round!!!) but this year we tried to breed her and she nearly killed the stud dog if he came within a metre of her.. there was another suitable stud dog who she did not mind as much but it was his first mating and he had no idea what to do- bless him!!!

we are going to try her again next season but if she seems as unimpressed as she did last time then we are just going to leave her and accept that some dogs just arent meant for breeding- even if her pups would be gorgeous!!
