Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Phantom Pregnancy...

I have a greman sheapherd cross bitch. She is a small dog and is a year and a half old.
I think she is having a phantom pregnancy, she keeps "mothering" her toys. She has three cuddely, squeaky toys. She has been looking aftr them, not playing witht hem but holding them n her mouth gently and there is one she wont leave. If you go into the room with her, she guards her toy and keeps loking at it to make sure its okay.
If my other bitch goes into the room with her, she growls and really protects this one toy.
Is this a phantom pregnancy?
Is there anything I can do to help her?

Thanks, :)

The best thing you can do for her is to remove all her toys. The longer she has them, the longer this will carry on, and she could make herself quite ill. Give her lots and lots of exercise, and don't give her time to brood. It sounds harsh, but it is the best thing for her.
