Dog pregnancy

[ieltasap]

I have a question about my 6-month-old puppy. Unfortunately because of covid, she is missing out on in-person training and the socialization of being around a variety of different dogs. She is not spayed and because of covid, her operation has been put off for another month. I would love to take her to the dog park for some fun as well as the socialization aspect. I am wondering if there is a cause for real concern about her getting pregnant if another dog mounts her if I take her there? She is not currently in heat.

@ieltasap If she's not in heat then she can't get preggo'd. I would be as worried about her getting pregnant as I would about myself getting impregnated via anal sex... I am a man. Biology is biology. Rest easy and socialise.

@ieltasap I wouldn’t recommend a dog park because people often have terrible recall on their dogs and their behaviors are unpredictable. I also don’t recommend spaying until two years of age. She needs those hormones for proper bone growth and maturation. If she’s not in heat she can’t get pregnant
