Not the plan..

Well, Hoaxey is in season and she and Boo have spent the last two weeks trying to get to each other. I have done great keeping them seperate, until yesterday. I popped into the conservatory closing the door behing me, or I so thought, Hoaxey must have pushed through just behind me leaving the door ajar, next thing I knew Linx barked at me and I turned round to see Boo smiling at me, on top of Hoax.

Luckily Mum and Nic were here and Nic looked after Ethan while Mum came and helped me hold Boo and Hoax. I didnt try to pull them apart as Im terrified of hurting my dogs :( They did tie and so me and Mum sat on the floor with them and talked through my options. I assumed straight away that I would get Hoaxey injected but after talking to Mum and researching the web there is too much of a risk associated with this and Im not willing to do that.

Hoax was still bleeding as far as I knew and was on day 14 of her season, however she isnt bleeding anymore. I had always planned on breeding from Hoax and Boo but not this year. With a young baby and Hoaxeys first full agility season ahead of her I was looking forward to working her up the levels.

I have decided that it was my mess up but if it takes then it takes, Im certainly not going to do anything that would harm Hoax. I also am going to make darn sure they dont get together again. I guess now we will just have to wait and see...

Hi Gemma, there is quite a high risk involved with using the 'traditional' misalliance injection of 'Mesalin' but the newer (and slightly more expensive) 'Alizin' is much much safer; I've used this a couple of times in the past and had no problems and those girls have gone on to have litters on subsequent season.

It's always another option anyway.
