I think my black lab got pregnate by a pug, she was outside on her chain because I let her out for an hour or so in the morning before it gets to hot outside and she was in heat for her first time. I went out and caught them in the act so I was wondering if anyone knows what the puppies will look like? I havent been able to take her to the vet yet and its only been like a week but Im worried she might have gotten pregnate? should I be worried of her being having puppies so young because she is only 10 months old and dont want her to have complications with pregnacy? If anyone has pic of a lab/pug puppy can u please send me one :), thanks!

Oh my gosh! Yet another act of the utmost irresponsible breeding. So you are thinking you've created LUGS now?

First of all, I highly doubt it is possible for a male Pug to breed a female Lab. I just can't grasp that mental picture.

Secondly, why did you let a cycling bitch and an intact male near one another??? You should have been watching him. If she was out, you should have put him up.

I think you need a quick trip to the vet and see if she can be spayed. She is too young to be a mother and you can damage her reproductive system if she gets pregnant too early.

If you were not planning on breeding him or her, whey were they not spayed and neutered?

Get your pets FIXED!!!

You know...every one of these idiots-the first thing they ask is always, "I wonder what the pups will look like?" The dogs health is never the priority. Too bad these people aren't required to volunteer at a shelter for a month. Maybe then they would learn some responsibility.

Just a hunch here, but I think this "person" and the "pomasset" person are great friends! What did Bob Barker always say? "Control the pet population, have your pet spayed or neutered!"

I know a lady that had a female Bullmastiff. She laid down so a daschund could breed her. The result...13 pups. No care of the dog or pups. Dead mother dog from mastitis and one pup.

for one thing the pug was not mine I had never seen this dog before, the lab is my only dog. And another thing If u actually read my post I am fearful for my dogs health and was not looking for people to put me down and tell me Im a bad pet owner :(, I was simply asking for advice! Why do people have to be so judgemental of people I didnt let this happen it just happend it happens all the time even to the most careful pet owners I take very good care of my pets. I thought this was supossed to be a freindly place to get advice from other pet owners, not to get the third degree from strangers who dont even know u! Thanks anyway!

I'm sorry but I didn't get an impression from your original post that you were looking into your dogs best interest. You said, and I quote:

That indicates to me that you want to see what her puppies will look like.

I think my black lab got pregnate by a pug, she was outside on her chain because I let her out for an hour or so in the morning before it gets to hot outside and she was in heat for her first time.


So did you or did you not know she was in heat? I'm confused because here you say she is so clean you didn't know??? But in reality you DID know.

My dogs are very clean too but I know when they are in heat. If you were not planning on breeding her, she should have been spayed or in an area such as a fence where an intact male could not get to her.

How long has it been since she was bred? If you really care for her health and best interest, have her spayed NOW!

How exactly could the pug... reach?
Posted: 2:37:58 PM 7/10/2009
I did not know she was in heat at the time if I did I wouldnt have let her outside with out me! I knew she was in heat when I posted this but not when that happend.This is my first female dog and though there was blood involved that I could see but she keeps herself so clean u never see any. I am wondering what the puppies would look like what is the harm in that? There is none! And of course I am worried about her she is like my baby,she is spoiled rotten and I treat her very well and take care of her very well! Just because something like this happend doesnt mean I dont care or dont take good care of her! She has a vet app. tomorrow and if he says she is pregnate and it would be okay for her to have them then so be it Im not going to terminate them if the vet says its not nesisary! I wasnt going to breed her or anything but if its all okay with the vet then Im up for puppies! She will be a great mama cause of how good natured she is. I will keep her checked by the vet the whole way of course and then after have her fixed but dont judge me for my dog getting pregnate (if she is) or for just wanting to see what the puppies would look like geez!! I consider myself a good pet owner! I take them to the vet reg. and give them vitamins and worm meds. they are fed well and groomed, they even have there own beds in there own room so thanks anyway but I guess I will let my vet give me the advise without critisisim since he knows how well I take care of my animals!!

I just have a question for the ones who say they always know when their dogs are in heat...
I'm trying to understand it. Don't take offence though, I'm just curious. My female dog that I owned before was fixed at the exact age that she was able to be fixed so I never experienced the heat stage. My new dog Lula, I've only had for about a month and she's already a year and a half old. I didn't know until I called my brother in law, who gave me the dog, and he informed me that she was in heat. I mean there were the obvious signs like the swelling but she never bled AT ALL or it was never seen because she kept herself very very clean. And how do you know when they are out of heat? Does the swelling go down? How often do they go in heat? Those are just things that I never understood. Can someone clear that up for me?

To the OP, I do not want to critisize you, or say that you are a bad pet owner, what's done is done, but if she is pregnant, and you were not planning on breeding her, than why is it so important for her to have the puppies, and not to abort them? She really is too young to have puppies, they should be at least 2 years old. What if, God forbid no one wants the puppies, and you are stuck with them, are you willing to keep them, and give them the proper care and training? I do not know you personally, and please do not take offence to my questions, I am just curious to why it is so important to you what the puppies will look like, and to continue with the pregnancy.

OP, I'm not being critical, as you so think I am. The facts are the facts.

My question was simple...if you had not planned on breeding her, why was she not already spayed? Now, there is the possibility of a dog whelping a litter of mixed pups that may or may not have multiple health problems. What if the stud has an STD? He could have passed anything to your female. And not to mention she is still a puppy herself! She is 10 months old for crying out loud! I'm sorry but you were very irresponsible in this matter. If you didn't have a fenced yard, she should have been with you! You should have educated yourself on being the pet owner of a bitch who was not spayed. Then you would have known what signs to look for and when they would occur. Or better yet...HAD HER SPAYED.

If your vet allows this puppy to deliver a litter of new, mixed LUGS, he is not very creditable to me. He should know the dangers at her age and the possible complication she may face. I would immediately get her health tested.

FOR NIKKI: People who plan to breed their dogs *should* become educated on the matter first of all. If they don't want to breed, they should have the bitch spayed. Now, with my dogs in particular, they swell...they bleed (even though they clean themselves constantly) but there is blood. I mark it down on my calendar the very day I see the first drop of blood. The heat lasts for a general of 21 days, but they can still get pregnant up until the 24th day of the cycle. They typically have their first heat between 6 and 10 months of age and usually have 6 month cycles. However, I do have 1 bitch who only has 1 heat per year and that is sometime in August. But, an owner should learn the signs and facts if they do not want to have her spayed. Hope this made sense and answered some of your questions.

OP, I'm sorry if you take offense in my honesty, but in all reality, a 10 month old dog should not deliver a litter of puppies and any vet that says otherwise...

I don't have any intentions of breeding her but I do understand what you are saying. If I'm not going to breed her then she should get fixed. I guess the reason for it is because we've only had her for a month and we've been searching vets. I had a certain one with my male dog but recently had to switch due to some circumstances with the vets health. She has a vet appointment to get fixed just so that clears that up with anyone interested. The first thing that I did notice about the possibility of her being in heat was the swelling. I didn't see any blood on her bed, on my bed, or even on my floor and my floors are white. Not right away anyway. I did notice tiny spots of blood every once in awhile about 2 weeks after I had been informed that she was in heat. I was also informed by someone that smaller dogs don't always bleed or at least they don't bleed a lot. So sometimes it is unnoticeable. Thanks for clearing a lot of those questions up though. I am definitely doing more research on it because I find everyday with her is quite a learning experience. I love her just the same though..

I also noticed a lot of people talking about fenced in yards. What I got from those comments was that if you don't have a fenced in yard that the dog shouldn't be outside without me or someone else with them. I personally find that kind of odd because most people have leashes for their dogs when they are outside so they DON'T have to be outside with them at all times. I know I do. I mean there are a lot times I'm outside with them so that I can have a smoke but there are also a lot of times that my dogs will stay outside all day (by their choice) and there is no way at all, no matter how good a pet owner that I am that it would be feasable for me to stay outside with them all day. I have a 2 year old daughter too so I guess that's why I find it really hard to be outside with them all the time.

In my opinion, no, a dog should not be outside unless the yard is fenced or someone is with them. They can run out in front of a car in a split second and get hurt or hurt someone else. Plus, if your dog is allowed to run free and it bites someone on THEIR property, you are liable. I don't quite understand what you mean by "people have leashes for their dogs when they are outside so they DON'T have to be outside with them at all times." Um, a leash is to walk with, something YOU hold on to in order to have control of the dog. You can put them on a leash but are you talking about tieing them to something with the leash? NO, I would never do that. If they choose to stay outside all day that is fine but if they cause a car accident because they decided to wander off into the road, even in the most rural of areas, there are still cars, and someone runs off in a ditch to avoid a dog that should have been under supervision, how would you feel at that point? Ya see what I'm saying? The safest palce for a dog is either inside the home or outside in a fenced yard or if they are not fenced, someone needs to be with them.

I never meant to come across as rude or nasty!
I don't know how that would have been interpreted as nasty but...
I know that a leash is to walk with, I'm not an idiot! I mean that my dog has an outside leash that is attached to my house. He gets tied up outside. I would never let my dog run freely and risk him biting someone or getting hurt or killing someone who has to swerve off the road to miss him. MY GOD, I'm not horrible or anything. I would much prefer my dog to be able to be in a fenced yard but at this point in time I live in a townhouse complex that has my personal yard and a common area and we aren't allowed to fence in the yards. Mind you, my house is plenty big enough and so is my yard for my dogs but that's what I meant. My dogs have a leash that they are tied to when they go outside to do their business. I do take my dog out to run everyday to get his excersise because of having to be tied up. I take him to our dog walking park here in town.

The other thing, my dogs don't ALWAYS stay outside all day. Once in awhile they decide to but not very often. So most times, my dogs are in the house. Yet again, there was more I wanted to add and forgot when I originally posted it. With all do respect to everyone. I'm not saying that I don't agree that dogs need a fenced in yard, because I totally do but my question is, what's the difference between keeping them in a house to keeping them tied up outside. If they are in the house, yes they are safe and I know where they are but when they are tied up outside, they still have room to move and play but they are also safe on their leash outside where they can't run off. Also, I know that a lot of you probably think that's cruel and irresponsible and I can in a way understand but with all do respect, at least I'm responsible enough to tie them up if I can't be out there at all times. I take very seriously my dogs health and safety and that's why they are tied up and can't run off and that's also why I take them for walks everyday. When you are a mother of 3 and by yourself taking care of all of them 99% of the time, you try your hardest to give all your children, and I mean all my children the best and I do the best job that I can for all of them.

PLEASE nobody take offence to my comments. I'm not trying to be nasty to anyone.

One minor point of interest here.. there isn't a fence made that can stop males from great distances getting to a bitch in heat.

As for the OP's girl, only way to know for sure if there was a tie that impregnated your girl is take her to the vet. As for what traits pups from this mix would look like, it's anybody's guess. There can be several pups, each with different traits of each parent. Coat, size, muzzle, eyes, leg length, tails, you name it can be a mix of this and that, or simply favor one parent over the other,

I wasn't taking offense to your comments and I didn't think anything was nasty. I didn't think you were being an idiot about the leash thing. I was asking if you meant a leash to tie them out with. I just can't do that. I have to either have mine in the house or in their "yard" inside their kennel area; but I understand that it is difficult for some people because of limited space. That's just the way it is.

Yep, pyrmom, those studs will stop at nothing to get to a bitch in heat. That's why my boys have to stay inside the house cause they so bad!

I kind of figured that's what you meant but I thought I would clear it up just incase your intentions were different...
Or for anyone else that may take it differently.
