I support keeping dogs intact. However, I can’t imagine trying to keep a male and female apart when she is in heat. Especially when you have young kids to care for as well. Btw, I thought it was funny that you said you are a stay at home mom for the dogs not the kids! Lol! I’m sure that is not exactly how you meant it. 😉
I have a coworker with two female spayed dogs that get into terrible fights. One got pretty ripped up a few weeks ago. They have to try and keep them separated all the time. I know that doesn’t mean that all females would. There are probably other factors involved as well. Good luck picking out your pup. Pictures would be awesome! I can only imagine how adorable they are.
I would probably have the female spayed as she is 4 1/2 now and not planning on anymore litters. Then I would most likely choose the male pup. A male and female would probably get along the best.
