If our male pug of 4 years old happens to breed "accidentally" with our 8 month old pug which we didn't want at this early stage... is there a way to prevent this pregnency from happening? It just happened and is there a time limit or anything on stopping an unwanted pregnency?

Call your vet, you have (as far as I know) a 24 hours period in which to give her the morning after pill for dogs.
Why isn't your female fixed? Are you planning on breeding them? If so, why? Are you a licensed breeder? If not, you shouldn't be breeding, it would be like a nurse performing brain surgery, he may be able to, but it doesn't mean he should.
Get her to the vet, and while you're there make an appointment to have her spayed. There are enough unwanted dogs out there without you adding more to the mix.

There are millions of dogs in shelters that have to die, because unlisenced breeders keep on breeding more dogs into the pipeline! I agree with the above. You've got a 24 hr window. Do both of your dogs a favour for their own health, (higher risk of cancer etc.) and make an appt. to have your dogs spayed and neutered. Please don't bring more dogs into an overpopulated dog world. 10 dogs died while I wrote this. Please do the right thing.

Why does everyone feel the need to preach to people who just want a simple answer to a question? Yes, there are too many dogs in shelters. Yes, there are irresponsible breeders out there and puppy mills. We all know this. But there are also people who want a dog that they know the history on. Know where and how it was bred. Know that they were in a clean and healthy environment and will have a good temperament. Stop bashing those who are only wanting to have healthy puppies available for people who want good healthy pets! Good Grief!

whoville - 99% of people who come on here do not have healthy dogs... in fact they wouldn't have a clue what a truly healthy dog is...
I'll bet money on the fact that the next person who comes on here asking about breeding will not know the specific genetic tests for their breed.
Irresponsible and unfair on the dogs.

We never bashed legitimate breeders. Ever!
So, tell me. What do you consider a healthy environment, good temperament, good breeding? I bet your idea of a good breeder is a lot different then mine.
I have mixed breeds, two of them. I also have a purebred, bred by one of the best breeders I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She doesn't make a penny off her dogs. In fact, she loses money. Why does she do it? For the love of the breed, because she wants to keep the breed pure, the best it can be. Her parents were breeders, she learned everything she knows from the time she was a child. She does genetic testing, she only breeds each female twice, never before the dog is 2 year of age. All her dogs are vet checked and immunized before they're adopted out and no dog is offered for adoption until they're at least 10 weeks of age. We've had our Chewy for over a year now and she still contacts me at least once a month asking how he's doing. If we were ever to want to give him up (not going to happen) then she'd take him back in a heartbeat, like any good breeder would.
Do you get the idea?
Most "breeders" are nothing but wannabe's, backyard breeders that call themselves breeders, even though they have no idea what it takes to breed for quality, to advance the breed instead of weighing it down.
So, if you actually have something legitimate to add to this conversation, which by the way was from last year, then go ahead, I'd dying to hear it.
