they're still animals, not human.

Seriously?

msvette 2 U - just back off, really. It's a very stressful time for the people and dogs involved. Your constant need of attacking him on this board is not helping him any.

The deed is done. Hope for the best outcome and prepare for the worst.

I have spent a ton of time with them, and watching them from a distance, and have seen literally no sign of his interest in her. I have taken him to the dog park however, and he didn't care to hide it there.

But after this experience, I am definitely going to take measures to make sure either it doesn't happen again, or it's done correctly.

I'm sorry to all you who are offended by me, this wasn't intentional.

To those of you comparing Bailey, a DOG, to a 12 year old child/ HUMAN... Grow up. Go see what happens in the wild and then compare animals to humans again. Obviously these dogs aren't "wild", but they're still animals, not human.

As you've stated yourself, dogs are not humans and you've learned this the hard way that they don't view each other as sister/brother, mother/son, and even if they are blood related they will still mate with each other.

Why are you still here? Put the dog in the car and drive to the vet NOW!

I'm sorry, but it sounds like you DID plan to breed them:

By now I guess you realize that her being his sister makes absolutely no difference to him whatsoever. You're trying to assign human morals to an animal, and it just doesn't work that way. He'd breed with his mother or his daughter too, just so you know. As long as it's a female, it won't matter to him that they're related.

I think you're missing the point. Nobody is saying she's like a person, they're trying to explain your puppy's age and level of development using the equivalent in human terrms, so that you can understand why it's a bad idea to breed to have bred her so young. She is not mature enough, that's all they were saying.

Anyway, best wishes - I hope she's okay.

This. And if that's "attacking" in some people's opinion, I'm sorry but it needed to be said.

Vet? Now?

I find it somewhat ironic for a 21yr. old with an "accidental" litter to be telling grownups to "grow up"

I've told people who compare animals to humans to grow up my entire life. Just because I ended up with an "accidental" (not unwanted) litter doesn't mean a person who compares animals to humans are more grown up than me. I hate the fact that everyone's heart breaks for the dog that died or is sick etc, and then there's people dying of hunger, from war, from crime etc all over the world yet nobody seems to care about them.

So, I know, Ironic that I value human life so much more than that of a pet.

Seriously!! From what you posted, your female is NOT right. Please take her to a vet now or you can loose her!

[Stevenzachsmom]

Why are you not responding to the breeders who told you to take the dog to the vet?
