I GOT A FEMALE I JUST BRED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FULLL OF LIFE LIKE SHE WAS ON SOME KIND OF HYPED UP DRUG AND NOW SHE WONT HARDLY GET OUT OF HER HOUSE NOW I CARRIED HER WITH MY OTHER DOGS HUNTING YESTERDAY AND ONCE SHE GOT OUT IN THE WOOD SHE RAN NORMAL LIKE NO PROBLEM BUT TODAY WENT OUT TO FEED AND SHE WOULDNT COME OUT OF HER HOUSE IS THIS NORMAL FOR A PREGNANT FEMALE DOG SICKNESS??????MY FIRST BREEDING IF IT AINT I NEED TO GET HER TO A VET I GUESS!

All females are a bit different. Some can take coming into season and/or getting bred in stride with no change in hunt or behavior. Others are a wreck when their hormones are in an uproar. Some won't hunt - just hang around at your feet - or just don't seem to be on top of their game. As long as she is eating and acting otherwise healthy, I wouldn't sweat it too much. If she's walking all tucked up or reluctant to move around at all, she may have injured herself running, a coincidence and nothing to do with her heat or being bred.

SHE DID SEEM A BIT TUCKED NOW THAT U MENTION IT BEV .SHE HAS A BAD HABIT OF GETTING ON TOP OF THE FEEDER WHEN I COME OUT OF THE HOUSE AND I KNOW IT IS HARD FOR HER BEING 11 -WAS WORRIED I WIL WATCH HER ALTHOUGH SHE WOULDNT EAT A HOT DOG I TOOK HER !
