2 female Jack Russell Terrier questions?
Hi, I have an 8 month old female Jack Russell Terrier who is now in heat. However Im am breeding her sometime in the future so my question is if I kept one of her puppies (a female) would they get along?
Also, one more question. Do female Jack Russell's act differently when they are in heat? She seems to never want to do anything but lay around. Is she in pain? And how many days until her blood will start to be less?
Thank you for your answers!

None of my questions have been getting answered. Im am not positively sure if I am breeding my Jack russell Terrier yet. I am getting information on breeding so that I can know. I have been getting a lot of information from breeders, websites, and books. So, please just answer my questions.

Please spay your dog. If you have to ask such questions on Yahoo Answers, you shouldn't be thinking about bringing more unwanted dogs into this world. Millions are euthanized each year because of backyard breeders. You do know that with each heat your dog's chances of cancers increases.
Why don't you ask your breed mentor your questions?
Of course you dog will have her breed championship before breeding?
You do know that you'll need to have all of your health and genetic testing done beforehand?
You need to have a minimum of $2000.00 should your dog have complications during her pregnancy or during whelping, for an emergency c-section.
You'll need a legal contract stating that you'll take back a pup at any time and for any reason, should an owner need to surrender one.
You do know that you could possibly lose your dog due to pregnancy or whelping problems.
You do know that you'll need an ultrasound done, at least once, to see how many pups to expect.
You do know that with every heat your dog's chances of cancers increases.
PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE AND SPAY YOUR DOG.

Jack Russells are an active breed and will require more food than a non terrier dog of the same size. If your dog is a good size, not too fat or thin then your feeding correctly. For an adult dog there are a few factors to consider in dog food choices. If the dog is an indoor dog, it will need less fat than an outdoor dog- of course this too depends on your climate. If you live in an area that has Fall and WInter seasons then an outside dog will require more fat in colder weather to keep warm. Check the first three ingredients on the dog food label, one of the first three should be a meat ingredient such as chicken, beef, lamb, etc,,, not meal or bone meal or corn and wheat fillers. Call your local veterinarian to get their opinion too.

I'll at least be nice to you.
She will be in heat for approx 3 weeks. She will bleed for 1 of them. She is fertile on the last week. If you do breed her and want to keep 1 of the puppies, she'll be fine with her. It's her baby.

Please do not breed your dog because you are not knowledgeable on the subject.
