Location: Somewhere around here | I own a young miniature dachshund male and my husband owns a female. We have had them for a few years now, hoping to have a couple of litters out of them but I might kill my male before then! Whenever any female is in heat (our mini girl or him just catching a sniff of a female dog in town) he will whine and whine and WHINE!!! He will whine, day and night, for a week straight and it drives me crazy. I am very close just cutting his manhood off myself and deciding not to have any litters.
Anyone had a problem like this before? Any help or advice would be amazing!

You are prego right? Maybe the prego hormons are getting to you.
I have never known an intact male dog not to whine when the smell a female in heat. | |

| I feel for you.... When I first started dating my husband he had an intact male Bassett Hound. My heeler/border collie came into her first heat before I could get her spayed. That son of a buck drove us CRAZY! Ever been around a basset? They are very vocal. After the female went out, she went to the vet. About 2 years later I was FINALLY able to convince him to neuter the basset. He told me after that he should have done that when the dog was a pup. I just laughed and told him TOLD YOU. Anything with nuts at my house loses them.... Might be the reason why every animal on the place is female. 3 dogs, 7 horses and a cat....
Best thing you can do is neuter. My friend raises dachshunds and they are hard to breed and raise. She loses puppies pretty often. :-( | |

Location: Texas | Mine whines all the time. Along with "talking" to you. He will bark, howl, whine, whimper, etc. he is very vocal. Last night I wouldn't play ball with him after a hour of playing and he wasn't happy so I get fussed at! | |

Location: naz, tx | I totally understand what you are going through! We have had our heelers seperated for over a week now and it's driving me insane!! If we leave them seperated outside, he howls. If we bring him in he whines. I have threated to cut off his cahones many times this week!!
We locked him in the trailer for a while one day and he tore the aluminum pieces that cover the wiring off and chewed up the wires!! Yeah...... he's in BIG trouble!! | |

I've kept my Italian Greyhound male intact thinking that I would breed him some day because he has really great bone structure and would be an asset to the breed to pass those genes along. I also thought that he was sort of unusual and that it would be a plus mark in the column to keep him intact. Then I started working with our local shelter and realized that he's not so special -- IG's come and go in our area every now and then. I would rather get him fixed than risk one of his puppies (or their puppies) going through the shelter experience and possibly being put to sleep. It's not worth it anymore once you are so close to it and see the dogs going through it. I vote to get him fixed but I understand if you don't.

I don't think it was a matter of to nueter or not nueter. If she wants to breed and has two, top quality, "asset to the breed" type dogs, then more power to her. She's not breeding mutts. And not everyone wants to adopt a mutt from a shelter. To each their own. I have an ugly, little, mutt, creeper. He's a great little guy, but I'd probably never get one again. But that's me. Personally, we have a beautiful, papered, "asset to the breed" Female English Mastiff. We will be breeding her once we find a comparable stud. I have many pups already spoken for. I see absolutely nothing wrong with competent people breeding for high quality pups. | |

Funny how you think all shelter pets are mutts. There are two Dachshunds at our shelter currently and one is a younger male who is papered (owner surrender). He's not alone on being a papered dog that is up for adoption for whatever reason his owner(s) could not keep him. I'm sure somewhere along the breeding line someone thought that he was from beautiful papered stock that wouldn't ever be found associating with mutts at the pound because people had spoken for him and his parents at some point in time. Thank goodness we adopt him out the same the all the others who end up at the shelter -- papered or not. | |

Location: Texas | We have 3 blue heeler females, and when they come in heat, the circus tent goes up around here. They act CRAZY and moody like you wouldn't believe. They constantly want to tear things up, barking, growing... You would think they had rabies.
Luckily our males don't give us a headache and do try to cooperate with us.

I didn't mean to bash on responsible breeders at all. My thought was just since the little guy is a pest, it's probably not worth it to have the added stress. You would be astounded at the number of beautiful dogs with good papers wthat wind up in shelters or needing homes. I'm sitting her with a beautiful 8 yo mini aussie at my feet that I got last summer because she 'didn't get along with their other dogs'...I'm kinda wondering if the truth was more along the lines of she's too old to breed anymore and we don't have the time for her. There are dogs in these situations all the time. Many are not mutts. | |

Location: Colorado | Killing your dog would stop the whining.... BUT... there may be a better way. Of course Nutering is our "human" way of curing what we dont want... but treating the problem as a pack of dogs would, might work better for you. To do this you need a good understanding of dog behavior, they dont scream at each other, body language works for them! When one gets out of line, such as whining, the others will teach him a lesson, usually one lesson works!
First, look at your actions, are you treating him like a human? when you teach him a "no" do you say it over and over and over, or do you hold your no to one word, give him eye contact, and hold your position till he submits? google ceaser milan, watch his shows or get his book, this can easily be overcome with patience and being "calm and assertive"!
the best of luck! | |

Location: MD | oh my goodness. mine did it and I couldn't figure it out what he was whining about... drove me nuts, we had an intact female upstairs and I didn't know because she was so quiet. Could never figure out what he was whining about until we finally met one day and her mother nature was clearly calling all over my welcome mat >:[
It took us moving out, plus some Cesar Milan stuff to get him back on his game. Then he started roaming and was portraying some aggressive behavior so *SNIP SNIP*. no more of that crap. He still would whine before we snipped him if he smelled a lady he "liked" on occasion but dropped it way faster(like 2-3 mins of his whining vs 15-20 mins) after we followed the "Cesar Ideology." I too wanted to breed, but I couldn't deal with the crap associated with him having them. | |

Location: Southern Oregon | Honestly having his man hood cut is not a sure fix! We had a Golden Retriever that did the same thing. He would about LOVE a little dog to death if you weren't watching him. Even in false heats on fixed females he would freak out constantly whining. Had him fixed and NOTHING changed. uggggg | |

I agree in part about people breeding nice quality dogs, some people really love their breed and TRAIN the dogs and turn out some really nice ones... but the problem with that is... many times intact dogs get out and breed other dogs... causing mutts and if you breed for litters... unless you have a contract with whoever you sell the dogs to that they MUST spay and neuter, most likely those dogs will cause unwanted litters. I see it happen ALL the time. I also see purebred dogs come to the shelter I volunteer at on about a weekly basis.... we've had purebred German Shephards, German Short hairs, Pit bulls, dashchunds, pugs, labs, poodles, Bishon Frise, Weimys... you name it, they've probably been here. It just makes me think if purebred dogs are so in demand why are they ending up in shelters? | |

The canine love of my life was going to the shelter; he's a purebred Siberian Husky. The lady that owned him bought him as a puppy to be the babysitter for her 3 sons under the age of 7-----go figure, right??? We got him the day she was taking him to the pound, and I can't imagine not having him. We get asked almost daily about breeding him, but no way am I adding to the heartbreak of more puppies in this world that might not have forever homes. And big thanks to those of you who have the fortitude and strength to work at the shelters. (Sorry to get off topic) | |
