Today, I discovered that in the three days I left my 18-year-old son in charge, my dog had gotten pregnant. When I confronted my son about it, he stated, "I don't want the reputation of being a cock-blocker." FML

If you don't want the dog pregnant why not get it fixed ?

Was he supposed to physically stop two dogs getting busy? Why wasn't she spayed? Was the unneutered dog yours, too? Bob Barker would be terribly disappointed at this situation.

Should have been a responsible dog owner and had the dog spayed. YDI

Never forget what Bob Barker always said spay and neuter your pets!

Everyone decides to fix their animals at different times. There are people who believe they should let their female go through at least one heat, and males to keep their manhood until a year. For bigger breeds it can be good to let some of those hormones run their course to create a balance, especially the males, helps with bone growth and such. There are all different opinions to this though. Maybe OP didn't know the dog was going in heat. If you did though, should've considered boarding her somewhere instead of relying on your son.

I'm not sure if your son wants the reputation of running a doggy brothel, or wants a rep with the local dude dogs of being a wingman. Either way, you need to explain to him that "doggy style" does not mean he needs to get himself into the actual canine sex scene.

To everyone saying "Why not get it fixed?", a few possible reasons: Couldn't afford it($50 at least, could be in the triple digits), couldn't get an appointment at a time that worked(it can't be done while the dog is in heat), could have been planning to breed her later(see #26's comment). This is why I'm not a fan of the character limit(but love the follow up feature)--stuff like this is hard to decide "YLS" or "YDI" without knowing the whole story.

#41: One really shouldn't take on the responsibility of a pet unless one can afford to take care of it, which includes getting it fixed -- and a spaying is cheaper than raising a single litter of puppies. Timing is not that difficult.

I dislike that idea. A bunch of people here talking about animals being put down shouldn't. People fall on hard times for one so if they get the dog when financially stable doesn't mean they always will be. And if everyone who wasn't financially stable enough to always be ready for anything going wrong with a pet didn't have pets how many more do you think would be euthanized each day? How many pets are euthanized or given up by people who could pay for an "inconvenience" v.s. How many poor families will do whatever they can to get money up to save their pet? How many people keep dogs outside constantly that can afford to give them anything vs how many people who find themselves homeless will find a place for their animals to stay before themselves and will make sure their animals are fed?

#70, I completely agree that people can fall on hard times and have financial trouble taking care of a pet, and I'd never recommend that they find a new home for their pet unless the pet really needs more than they can provide (we have a cat with a heart condition; she'd be dead without her twice-daily meds, so if we ever hit a point where we couldn't provide for her care we'd do our utmost to find her a loving home that could). But spaying/neutering isn't an "if something goes wrong" scenario; it should be scheduled ASAP when adopting a not-already-fixed pet, so is essentially an adoption cost. And if people adopt pets and don't get them fixed, every litter adds to the pool of animals that need homes and are at risk for euthanasia.

Why isn't your dog spayed? That seems irresponsible on your part.
