Hello! I just joined because I have a husky who recently gave birth to six beautiful shepskies. It was an accident. My girl became receptive in heat when a huge wildfire was burning our city and I was so stressed I mismanaged my two dogs. My GSD mated with her. I was going to do a spay abort but by the time I could get her to the vet after the fires were dealt with he said it was too late. Both dogs will be neutered. I was waiting until after my husky's second heat and it took her nearly a year for it to come (I didn't want to schedule her spay then have her go into heat and have to reschedule). My GSD is too young yet to be neutered; I am waiting until he is 2 yrs old. So it is an irresponsible breeding but I am trying to do everything right now that I am here.
I wanted to know when I might be able to start taking my husky for short walks. I am stressed about the possibility of her bringing Parvo back to the puppies. When I was a kid (way back in the old days) we had a dog whose entire litter died of parvo at 3 months. It was super sad and I never want to see that again. I would take them all to my vet but it would be expensive too. Would it be better to wait until I take the puppies for their first vaccinations at 7-8 weeks? She was a very active dog and I know she'll start missing her hikes when the puppies start becoming more independent. She and my GSD are both up to date on their vaccinations if that makes a difference.
I have Googled the question but the answers are all over the place. I would rather ask actual people who breed dogs and might be more knowledgeable.
