Uh Oh! I think our dog is pregnant!!! HELP!

[miss kris]

We have never had this sort of problem to feel we needed to get her desexed... if that makes sense??
The dogs she socialises with are desexed males, we don't take her out when she is on heat and have 1.5m fences. So never really had to think we would need to anyway...this is pure accident.

You'll find out soon enough, I suppose.
Not going to beat you over the head with a stick about it if she IS pregnant, just want to advise you to get her fixed as soon as you know she isn't pg, or after she's had the litter, if you proceed.
If you don't intend to breed from a dog (and unless you're a breed expert, you just ought not!) then it's really best for her health to spey. They are so much more prone to cancers and other complications if kept intact and either bred from or not.
There is also really good evidence in Victoria (DPI data and info) about early desexing being much more beneficial than waiting till 6 months. Our dog (dane x alsatian) was desexed at adoption as a pup and he was 7 weeks old - simple and uncomplicated as all get out.
If you do end up with a litter, please be very careful about who you pass the pups onto. It would be wise to either desex them and recoup costs, or surrender them to a pound, where they will be desexed at adoption and this never has to happen again.
The thing with the large breeds, as you might already be aware, is that they pass on enough problems as pure breds, and hybrid-vigour doesn't really apply to the large breed, in my experience
Also, if you end up with a litter, I'd put my hand up for one when it's weaned if I lived closer! If left intact, you'd want a prospective owner like me (hypothetically speaking), where I'd be definitely organising a desexing upon arrival. I'm also not in the habit of paying for dogs, unless I'm paying a pound an adoption fee (just a personal rule of mine that has brought me the greatest companions). Great home guaranteed, and money can't buy that - so don't talk cost with a prospective owner until you are comfortable with their credentials, just tell them you'll discuss it later after talking about the plans they have for the dog.
I went to a local market last month and was disgusted to see a family flogging off a box of unwanted kittens at the gate. Their sign said "free to good home" and then "donation to get mum desexed". They didn't look like they were going to leave until those kittens were gone, and I didn't hear a single question about what kind of home they were going to. And 'donation'? The cheek! the mum of the family was dragging on her fags and I have a feeling I know where that 'donation' was going to end up.
I'm not saying this is what you'd do. I'm illustrating that merely saying "free to good home" doesn't mean the people who come knocking are actually going to provide a good home. If you care about their fate, ask some tough questions - a genuine good home is not afraid of the questions.
Good luck, and I hope she's not pg, I hope you can desex her asap and just enjoy your dog
ETA:
took me so long to compose that and I missed some posts. I recommend the termination of the pg if she is pg - really, everyone will be better off if you do this AND desex at the same time. If it's a large litter, and you have every reason to expect this, it's going to be very hard work making sure they get good homes. And even then, they are likely to have conformation issues that the owners either won't know how to deal with, or will have to fork out money for (or not, even worse for the dog). If you breed from this dog and you are not a breeder, then you are actually breeding more problems here. Please think about this.
As I said, I'm not getting the stick out, just looking out for your *****'s and the pups' welfare. I'm really a bit passionate about this after my time volunteering at Vic Animal Aid and RSPCA. The repercussions are seriously a lot more heartbreaking than any sad emotion you have about the decision to abort. I nearly lost my dog at 9 weeks from a weak heart and pneumonia, from his inherent weaknesses, after falling for him HARD - I was an absolute mess till he made it to morning at one vet clinic he ended up at in an emergency state. I was inconsolable. I would never wish that on anyone.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease think about this responsibly, beyond your own backyard, ok? No judgment for the past

Yeah i would advertise them as for sale but when i am sure they are going to a good home don't believe i will charge.
Any sort of person could take a dog that's free and they could end up god knows where, where as if a person is willing to pay and have planned for puppy they will have more chance of ending up happy and healthy in a loving home.

We will be getting her desexed after this dilemma,. As i mentioned above, its never been a huge deal not getting her desexed because we have always tried to do the right thing and her periods have never been a big deal to us or caused any problems.
