Why would a 5 year old female dog go into heat, breed and not get pregnant?
Because God is good. It is axiomatic that anyone who has to ask breeding-type questions HERE instead of in the proper places does NOT have a breed-worthy pooch. And because God aka Gaea aka Mother Nature knows that people who are too cheapskate & ignorant to pay a vet should NOT attempt to be breeders. Anyone too cheapskate to have a vet check their bit.ch out for fertility-problem reasons is too cheapskate to: • pay for a bit.ch whose parents have been proven in show ring & training ring, and possess whatever xray certificates are needed for that breed, whatever other “health certificates” are needed for that breed; • put in the time & money involved in having their bit.ch trained, campaigned, tested-&-certificated as above; • pay for the travel to and the stud fee of a dog who has been campaigned, trained, tested as above. It is also unlikely that such a person would: • bother getting a couple of breed-mentors to help identify possible genetic problems in the background of the bit.ch
