dog pregnancy question?
I overheard a conversation the other day between some people. and i thought this was the dumbest thing i ever heard. some people were talking about dogs and saying if a female dog is pregnant. that while she is pregnant she can keep becoming pregnant….an example is say a female dog is pregnant by a male doberman pincher and say the female is currently 4 months pregnant with doberman pinchers pups…. ..and here comes along a german shepherd and he mates with the female now she is pregnant with german shepard puppys as well…..and then comes along say a labrador retriever it mates with the female dog and now she is carrying german sheppard puppies as well…..so is it possible for a dog to be pregnant and other dogs come up and have sex with female dog and keep adding babies to her ..this is what a group of people were saying the other day????????
yes dogs can have one litter that has multiple sires. however a female dog is only pregnant for 63 days, so if she is 4 months pregnant then there is something terribly wrong. but to answer the main question it is possible for a female to mate and become impregnated again while she is already pregnant. this usually happens at the beginning of the pregnancy as it wouldnt work if she was about to deliver.
How To Train A Puppy Properly
Having a new puppy in the home excites everyone especially children but make sure you got the puppy for a good reason and not just on a spur of the moment feeling. Like they say dogs are for life not just for Christmas. A puppy can bring lots of happy memories and times but they have a lot of training and work involved to, they are not all fun and no work!
A puppy’s temperament depends on where the puppy has been brought up and what type of breed he is. German shepherds, Rottweilers, bull dogs and boxers are all guard type dogs so tend to be very loving and protective. Border and bearded collies tend to be herding dogs and reared on farms and tend to be quite enthusiastic and never sit still (be aware because they are reared on a farm they may be a little bit nervous around modern day technologies, such as bridges, loud noises etc). Labradors, gun dogs and pointer are all hunting dogs so expect them to be full of energy and laughable moments. Of course these are just general expectations every dog has its day…and its personality!
Training a puppy is something that can be achieved in a matter of weeks depending how much time and attention you spend on it. You don’t need to train for hours and hours a day, a few minutes several times a day is all it takes. The first thing you need to train your new puppy in is obedience, commands like sit, come, heel, stay and fetch are basic enough for them to learn. As they get older you can incorporate commands like paw, roll over and play dead! Training a young puppy is not as hard as you may think as they are like a blank sheet of paper waiting to be written on. The way they are taught and what they are taught will stick with them and will influence them later on in life, although training isn’t forever so you need spend a few minutes every day just to keep reminding them what to do.
There are not so nice consequences involved when puppies aren’t trained, for starters your house will constantly be a teething ground for them and your furniture will have massive holes in it. Puppies are like babies and need to be taught the difference between right and wrong, to do this you need some puppy dog training!
Many handlers experienced or in-experienced are turning towards training products and aids but training can be done without these methods. Just a bit of good old hard work! A puppy may take several months to training but when it is complete the rewards will be well worth it, but don’t forget to stay up on your training for several minutes each day or your dog will slowly forget and you’ll have to start all over again, with an even bigger task, training an older and sometimes bigger dog!
