Stopping dogs from breeding - Page 1

Hi All, I have two dogs that I don't want to breed this heat. In the past we have kept them in two different indoor cages...But that incessent whining, is there anything I could give my stud or my bitch so that they don't want to breed? I have heared giving some Rolaids to the bitch to cover the smell, and I've heared putting vasaline under the male's nose, but neither seem to work all that well. Any suggestions? Thanks guys, and ladies, Krista

It's vicks, not vaseline. Unless you want puppies, plan on locking in seperate crates and listen to the whining. Either that or send the male somewhere for the duration.

Animules, thanks, maybe thats why the vaseline was working! :) Thanks

What do u suggest when they tear the cage up locks and all 7 gage wire also?

I sent my female to a friend's house last time she was in heat. I am told his neutered male hasn't stopped grinning yet :)

I remember something about chloryphl (SP) tablets, but I think you had to give them in advance of the heat cycle. They probably don't work IMO, but might be worth a try...

My bitch hasn't gone in yet, but according to her schedule, she should be due to come in within a month or so, I'm just asking around to see if anybody has any good ideas. Thanks Trailrider! Triodegirl, all of my friends are breeders...with stud dogs, so that really won't work for me :), and I cant send my male away, he won't eat away from me, he's always been like that. I guess he would eat if he ABSOULUTLY had to, but he's very attached to me, it'd take about a week before he'd start eating. Thanks guys!

bluesky Just find the stongest kennel and put him all the way on the other side of your house or property and spend many hours hiding her when ur males are loose for their time. I have more than I could send to someone else and my friends dont like gs and all the ones that do are back in Houston and Galveston.....Turn your music real loud so u dont hear whinning and give him a cow hoof maybe he willtake his frustrations out on the cow hoof.....

If crating won't hold them, your only real solution would be to keep them in entirely separate locations, to be frank. Anything else you try that places them on the same site is going to fail if the dogs are that determined that they'll tear out of crates and through 7 gauge wire. Even placing them in separate outdoor kennels may not be secure enough--one breeder I know was stunned when she went out to the kennels and discovered the male in the female's run...in order to get there, he'd had to tear his way out of his own topped, outdoor chainlink kennel, *climb a small tree* that branched over the run the bitch was in, tear away the roofing, and then drop down into the run--when the breeder removed the male from the run and turned him loose, she was able to watch him repeat the process from the tree-climbing forward. The drive to reproduce can be amazing in some animals...

I did a search for it and found the spelling was wrong, its spelled chlorophyll.. I found this that I am copy/pasting in here: Bitches in Season If your bitch is in season, and you are not planning to mate her, you can give her liquid Chlorophyll (from the Health Shop). Start with 5 mls and increase it daily to about 2 caps full daily for a medium size dog. Some handlers have succeeded in masking the oestrus odour by giving the female chlorophyll tablets at the first sign of the heat cycle. It is believed to take the stress off any male animals when the female oestrus odour is "masked". Chlorophyll has been found to be non-toxic, soothing to body tissues and safe for use by people of all ages and animals. If you try it and it works or find something that works let me know. I was watching my sons dog for him last summer while he was working on fires and she came in season. I have her brother... so she had to go out in lock up. It was hard on all of us, as she is a house dog. I sure would like to find something, I bet if anyone did they would get RICH!!!
