Question

My pit bull seemed to have a miscarriage, then a few days later she had a stillborn pup that she ate. A few weeks later she seems fine. What should I do?

Community Answer

You should take her to vet for an examination. She may have reproductive problems and it might be best to have her spayed.

Question

Can I breed my female pit bull during her first heat?

Community Answer

No, this is not safe for the dog, as her body is more than likely not ready to birth puppies, and it may cause complications. It is best to wait until her second heat at the very soonest.

Question

I tried breeding my female pit bull, but she appeared to get angry and aggressive every time the male tried to mount her. Is this normal? Should I wait to breed her, or not breed her at all?

Community Answer

The female is not ready yet. It could also mean she is not at the right stage in her heat.

Question

How long is a pit bull pregnant?

Community Answer

A pit bull pregnancy lasts about 63 days, but it can take anywhere from 58 to 71 days. A pit bull pregnancy that lasts 72 days or more is not normal, thus a veterinarian usually induces labor.

Question

What will the female do if it is ready to mate?

Viktor Henry

Community Answer

Like all dogs, a female pit bull will want to be near male dogs. Around them she will be more playful and meet a lot of different dogs, trying to find a mate.

Around two years of age, which typically allows for any genetic issues to have manifested or been tested for.

Question

How long does a pitbull puppy have to remain with its mother?

Community Answer

It may take two to four months. It depends on what the breeder thinks. I got mine at 4 months because the breeder wanted the puppy to be with the mother as long as possible.

Question

My female pit bull is a mix, and I want to breed her with a real pit bull; what are the possibilities of puppies?

Community Answer

Depends on the amount of pit in her. The purebred pit DNA would take over and water down the genetics of the other breed (that your dog is mixed with). The pups will still be mixed, but they will look more like pit bulls.
