I heard that if you do not let your dog have at least 1 littler of puppies(and get them fixed) they will become very large for a short period of time, and have the chance of becoming crazy as they age? Is that true?

Anthoner question is when a dog is in heat, is there private supposed to be very big like the size of a golf ball, and can that get infected while on walks. In the house she has diapers on but when we take her out it comes off, is that good????
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

No, you do not need to let your dog have puppies before you get her spayed. The rumor you heard was completely false, and letting your dog have puppies will only increase the number of unwanted puppies in the US. (Even if you find homes for your puppies and spay them, they are taking the place of that many other homeless pups)

Yes, the uvula is supposed to get a little bigger, but not the size of a golf ball. You should definitely take your girl to the vet and get her checked out. If it gets infected she could die.

Again, you do not need to let your girl have babies. Pregnancy is always dangerous for the mom. As soon as she is out of her heat (which usually lasts for 3 weeks) please get her spayed.
