I have a 5 month old akita and my roommate has a male pitbull who is a year old and a femal pit the same age as my akita when she goes in heat will there be trouble???
Answers:
Yes, if their male dog is not altered- he will do anything to get to her. They will need to be kept in separate rooms- not separated by a gate or anything because the male will jump it or else they can breed right through it. You probably should keep your dog indoors when she is in heat as well, because all the unaltered males in the neighborhood will be showing up at your door. Like I said they can mate through the fence believe it or not. The best option really would be to get you animals altered so there wouldn't be any problems. Being as she is only 5 months old she is WAY too young to be bred anyways. You roommate will need to ewatch her female as well- it is very unhealthy for her to have puppies this young. I think you need to be a responsible pet owner and get your animals fixed, we already have an ever growing poulation of unwanted pets in the country without bringing more puppies into this world that at this age would most definately be unhealthy!
no idea
The best thing to do is get her spayed. It will solve a lot of problems and is better for the dogs health. Otherwise, you will have to separate the dogs everytime she is in heat.
YES, you will have to separate them...!!!
When she goes into heat the only trouble you will have are puppies a few months later. You have two females so I wouldn't worry about fighting, but if you had two males and the female went into heat, then that could be bad...very bad.
When any dog goes in heat there will be trouble. Just, when it happens, keep them seperated.
Your dog should be spayed and then you won't have a problem!
Yes. They may become territorial and of course they may mate.
Get them all spayed and neutered. Millions of animals die each year because of lack of resources. Don't add to the problem.
Probibly, but if you're looking at getting her fixed you can have it done anytime after 5 mths, especially in a situation like this!!! There may very well be puppies otherwise...
Yes. Please get your dog (and his) altered! Not only will there be a risk of the two unaltered females fighting, when they're in heat, but the male may decide to go after both females, instead of sticking to his own breed.
Tell your roommate, that if he plans on breeding his two dogs, that the female should be 2 yrs old first.
Yah, you will have pups, or a pair of dogs who destroy your place when you try to keep them apart. Your dog is not due to go into heat for another few months or so, but when she does, he will be old enough to impregnate her. Separating them by closing them in different rooms will NOT be enough- dogs can go to crazy lengths to mate when they're in heat- they may dig up carpets, chew through doors, destroy crates. Do yourselves a favor, get one, if not both, fixed now and avoid the drama.
Well duh !! Obviously.
If none of them are neutered, yes, there will be major trouble. The male pit will destroy anything in its path to get to your Akita. And do you REALLY want to raise pit-bull/Akita mix puppies? Also, when a female dog goes into heat, she menstruates. This means you will be cleaning up blood from your carpets and other flooring every time she goes into heat.
oh that's fun... you'll definately have to keep an eye on your akita and that male pitbull... he'll sense that she is in heat in no time!
Yes, the two intact dogs will fight. Please get all the dogs spayed and neutered. Given the breeds you have, they may very well fight to the death.
no not that i know of and how did you introduce them? they way you introduce then will tell alot because you have to remember the other dog has domance it is her territory he home so always remember that
You can do one of two things.
1.) Get either the male of female dogs fixed...or
2.) Sit them all down and talk to them about sex. Tell them that a man and woman only haves sex when they love each other. Then talk to them about safety precautions, ie, condoms, birth control, things of that nature. Last but not least, talk to them about abstinence.
I would go with number 1 but you never know... :)
no,.,

No matter what the breed of dog you will always have trouble when your male and females are not properly spaded and neutered.
I suggest during that time or her cycle to keep her away from all male dogs. Especially pit bulls. Pit bulls are known to be extremely aggressive when doing the deed and it will be hard to pull the male off of her.
She is too young to be breeding.
oh yes! The male is going to be a blubbering idiot, and will try anything and everything in his power to get to your female, and the females may fight also for alpha. (the older female if not spayed will demand alpha status, meaning she is alpha and the one to produce, not the younger one)
just neuter the dog!!! simple as that! or as my friend next to me says easy as ur ***
you mean feamle against female, i don't think so but is your roomates male pitbull neutered by any chance if it's not then you better keep them away. but if they are properly train know there won't be any problems
Most definately.
Two unspayed bitches will fight when one of them comes into season. Used to see it a lot in huskies. Everytime one of them was in heat we would have at least two or three come in for suturing.
Separate them or get them spayed before they have their first season
Like DUH, of course there will be trouble. Get those dogs fixed, if you're not a breeder then you are subjecting the female to higher cancer risk, pyometra, and unwanted puppies. And the male has no business being intact, he will fight, run away, and has a high risk of cancer as well. For heaven's sake people, have you looked at the pound lately? How many of those homeless dogs and puppies look exactly like a cross between your dogs?
Not to mention that if you spay her before her first heat cycle you reduce her risk of mammary cancer by 80%...
Yeah! The male will want to mate needless to say, but you might have a problem with the females battling over top *****. That can really pose a problem. And I don't know how tough the Akita is but, a Pit is tough. I would watch them very closely. Especially when they come into season. Also, if there is any sign of aggresion, separate them. Don't shrug it off that it will be the only time. Usually the warning comes first.
She should be spayed, anyways.
Well you can bet your butt the Pitbull will try to do the deed with your dog if the female Pitbull isnt fixed and she goes into heat at the same time you might see some agression. My advice would be to get the dog fixed before she has her first heat. It can be pricey but there are alot of programs out there to help people spay and neuter their pets.
Oh yea, there will be big trouble. two females and a male, there will definitely be problems. Once ur akita reaches her adulthood, and she doesn't even have to be an adult to go into heat the pitbull will definitely try and get a little ot alot. You will have to keep them separated or u are going to have a bunch of mixed puppies. And believe me its going to be hard becuz u will have to keep an eye on the dogs all the tyme. Do u have a fence or anything to keep them apart? My male went after my female everyday more than twice a day for the whole tyme she waas in heat and she gave birth to 7 puppies. SO if u don't want to have uuuuan unwanted litter have ur dog spaded.
yep you can say that
i would have her spayed before her first heat. female dogs tend to always fight and once she is in heat the male wont let her alone till shes pregnant. you can get her spayed on her 6 month birthday
