My male chihuahua is not fixed and the friend whom gave him to me a year ago is going to give me his sister from another litter.
They both share the same parents, so far she refuses his advancements, thank goodness, but what if he succeeds?
how bad is this..?
I obviously want to prevent this.
How can i stop him from trying to mate with his sister?
Won't he try to mate with her, even if i get him neutered?
Answers:
get them both spayed and neutered. He may try to hump to show dominance, but wont actually "mate" then.
If she is in heat, he will hump in an attempt to mate, whether he's neutered or not. If he's neutered its ok, because no puppies will come of it.
Its best just to get them both altered tho, it will cut down on behavoiral issues and its better for their health.. it prevents certain types of cancers. Unspayed females are prone to serious uterine infections that can cause death if untreated.
You need to get both dogs fixed.
TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU - a cross between these two individuals will spell out disaster for the resulting pups.
When I worked at a shelter, we had a pregnant female and a son of hers from a previous litter. We were told that the son impregnated the mother. When the litter was born, 3/4 of them were born with missing digits and limbs, one was born with a severly deformed face and only two were somewhat normal.
If they are both fixed and he still tries, she will put him in his place!
Be smart, be responsible and have them BOTH fixed. Inbreeding causes a lot of health and genetic issues.
Get him neutered, and get her spayed. Then there will be no urges or heat cycles. If he's neutered, he can't mate with her. Since he's an adult, he may remember that the smell of a dog in heat is something to be interested in, so get her fixed too. Do it before she's 6 months old, females usually have their first heat between 6 and 9 months. She won't let him mount unless she's fertile and ready to mate...
If he succeeds... you will have a litter of inbred pups at high risk for genetic deformity and health issues.
have both of them fixed, he will still have the urge and will be able to preform, but not inseminate. if she is fixed then she may not let him anyway.
Have them BOTH fixed IMMEDIATELY. If she never goes into heat then I don't see why he would be THAT interested.plus with him being fixed too.he won't be as interested in attempting to procreate.
Get him neutered, and her spayed, and you won't have to worry. Humping behavior is annoying/embarrassing to humans, but it is just behavior and can be interrupted, punished, rewarded for it's absence, whatever. There are low-cost spay/neutering services throughout the country - a Google search for "spay neuter" plus your zip code should do the trick. Good luck!
If you get him neutered, even if he manages to mount and tie with her, at least there will be no inbred puppies. It will also remove the chances of him getting testicular cancer.
Your female will also be healthier spayed. Unspayed, she is prone to deadly diseases like pyometra, uterine and ovarian cancer, and she is at a greater risk for mammary cancer. Not to mention she can die if accidently bred. If cost is an issue, most humane societies can give you info on low-cost and free spay/neuter clinics. It is well worth it for the health of your dogs. Good luck!
Teach him about incest!
Is this a trick question?
Hahahha, isn't it a little intriguing to watch though? Hahha, don't take the girl dog until you get him fixed! Even if he does hump her (which he probably wont) it wont be successful.
The only way to prevent him from mating with his sister is to get him neutered. You should get the female spayed as well.
Once neutered, he will not try to mate with her, although he may still "hump" her as a way to show dominance.
If you allow them to breed, you will have very sick, inbred puppies on your hands. If they survive, they will need expensive vet care, which will cost you way more than getting your dogs neutered.
Make the apointment with your vet as soon as you can to get your dog neutered.
Get them BOTH fixed.And a neutered dog might mount a female,but he's not going to get her pregnant. Sheesh!
Have them both fixed.
get the dog fixed, he will try to mate but as long as he's shotting blanks you'll be ok as far as haveing puppies is the concern. if they mate you'll have some messed up dogs. imbreeding will mess up a animal as it will a human.
HELLO!! Common sense here. Neuter the male and spay the female. Problem solved.
if you don't wanna get them fixed, there's an anti-mating spray being sold in vet stores. you'll have to spray it to the female so that your male chi wouldn't smell that she's in heat. good luck! ^_^
Neuter him!
Even if he does try to mate with her when he is fixed, obviously nothing will happen, since those organs will be long gone.
Hopefully she is spayed also.
Dogs will also mount others as a dominance issue. But they should be fixed anyway if you aren't a professional breeder.
