I've just watched my springer climb a 6' fence to get to the dog next door who is obviously on heat!  It was incredible, he was up and over like a shot.  The fence at the end of the garden between our house and theirs has been torn down too.

I can't leave him in his kennel this week or he will howl the place down.  It's so frustrating because our bitch was spayed to avoid awful weeks like this, it didn't occur to me that we'd end up with an entire bitch next door!

For those people who keep the two sexes together in the same house, beware; a dog with a mission will be stopped by nothing!

....... and all because the Lady loves Milk tray!
;)

This is the reason my dog has just returned back home today, he was living with my daughter for nearly two weeks. Even though in another town, he was driving her crazy trying to get out LOL!!!!! my bitch was in season, but thankfully finished now.  I might just stop breeding altogether and get her spayed, its not fair on him.

And then you'll get a bitch move in next door .....!

That is some fete from your dog, I bet if you hadn't seen it yourself you would never have believed it.

My nieghbours entire male goes potty when my bitch is in season, apart from one year when she painted her fence, the stench was eyewatering (I don't know what she used it was strong stuff though) and her male didn't sense my bitch at all.

So get your fence painted. :-D

jackyjat & marguerite - What about getting your dogs castrated?  Surely thats the 'fairest' thing to do cos then no matter how hard they 'try' they won't get any bitch pregnant :)  I'm not trying to say that it would stop them 'scaling a 6ft fence' (although in some dogs it does prevent roaming and from dogs giving unwanted attention towards entire females) but atleast you'd always be safe in the knowledge that if they ever did 'escape' you wouldn't be responsible for them impregnating a bitch :)

To have him castrated will help a lot. My daughters yorkie used to run off as soon as he got by the front door. It became a nightmare.
So, she had him castrated, for a time he still ran like mad to get out the door, but when he did, he just stopped and came back. It was as if he didn't know why or where he was running to
He hasn't been a problem since.

My friends Westie got pregnant through a chainlink fence!!  Hows that for " where there's a will there's a way"???

I'm finding it very hard getting that picture to work!

Where there's a willy there's a way! :D :D :D Sorry, couldn't resist!!

My friend's ewe got pregnant through a fence too!

coooo!

And produced a veritable litter from it - 5 lambs in one go - and all survived (though a lot of bottle-feeding was needed!).

I suppose castration is something for consideration but 350 days of the year there isn't problem.  He has never really roamed and this is the first time he's ever scaled the fence (he did it again today). I will raise the subject with my son, but I can guess what his response will be (with crossed legs!).

Next week which might reduce his anxiety in relation to sex but increase it in relation to ducks and pheasants as there are plenty around at the moment! 

Part of the moral of this tale is certainly that people should never let their bitches in the garden unattended when in season because you just never know what will appear over the fence, 6' or not!

Aah but the bitches owners will assume that their garden is secure therfore, why shouldn't they allow their bitch into their enclosed garden?  This is the point I was trying to make in another post about neutering - everyone has to look after there own dogs cos with an entire bitch you can never tell if an entire male will 'get at it' and with an entire dog you never know whether it will 'get at' an entire female.

I dont agree with you there if the owner was out walking their bitch off the lead then yes then you could say the owner of the bitch is in the wrong but they arnt she is in what her owners belive to be the security of her own yard then how are they to know you dog is going to come scaling the fence. Have you told the owners your dog is doing this or do they try to break it up when they see him because in a way. You are as much at fault here as they are you know your boy is doing this so why not you lock him up and only let him out when he is supervised. Myself i wouldnt let my girl into the yard by herself while she is in season but my girls only go into the yard to go to the toilet and come back in the prefer a small wrestle on the rumpus room floor so i dont need to worry because i know where my girls are at all times but if i did let my girl out and a male did get in the yard then not only would i be to blame but also the dogs owners would be at fault to especially if they knew he was scaling the fence to begin with if i knew he had done that once i wouldnt even give him the chance to do it again.

I certainly didn't ever suggest the bitch's owner was in the wrong but merely posted this as a warning that at no time when your dog is out of your sight, can you be certain she is safe. 

My neighbours keep their dog fairly secure and take the necessary precautions to supervise her and of course for the next week or so, my dog will not be out of my sight either!

I hope this puts your mind at rest.  Apportioning blame doesn't come into it; I merely wanted everyone to realise that your bitch might be in a garden with a 6' fence around the outside - that doesn't make her safe, supervision is the key.

My friend's ewe got pregnant through a fence too!

Oh Goodness!  I've got enough to worry about already!

OP tell me about it i have two bitches (entire) living next to two (entire) dogs.
