Anybody hunted pregnant dogs? Did they slow down, seem to do better maybe? Or not hunt at all? Also how long before the pups were born did you hunt her? Asking because my strike dog female might be bred

I don't do it just to avoid any and all complications & because bred dogs seem to keep the attention of males....if I did, I wouldn't push it more then a couple weeks after being bred though I'm sure some do

It really just depends on how bad you want the pups.  There's always a chance of something happening when you turn them loose.  I hunted my gyp until she started to show.

  is this the results of the    running a dog in heat thread   lol  .    I've run them while pregnant for coon and rabbits but you take a chance running any dog on hogs I say after the first thirty days  no  this heat is ruff enough on a skinny dog  .

Do you want the pups? I'd think if you stressed her enough running her she may abort them? What do y'all think?

If you are REALLY anticipating the pups she may be having, sit her up. We all know at the blink of an eye how fast an injury can occur.

I hunted mine until 10 days before they were born. Everybody I hunt with has done the same. It helps em stay in shape for labor. All pups and her are great. Hell my wife walked 2-3 miles a day every day until the day before on both my boys and she popped em out like nothing. I think it's worse if you keep em kenneled up during gestation.

Never seems to make any difference.  I hunt them at least the first month after being bred.  The last 3 weeks they are normally getting big.  Never lost a pup or had complications.

I was told by several old timers that if you hunted a gyp while being bred it would Make her pups would make better dogs... Wether it be hog dogs or cow dogs

Well guys im sitting here in the same seat .The gyp i have breed is my ace in the hole an she is around 20 days out .
I have heard some of the same thing from old timers .I myself am not willing to chance a breeding or a hole litter on one hog .
If you have took the time to breed her why chance it . i know its hard if its your best but not worth it to me

it all depends on how good a handle you have on the dog. if you can call em off or whether they are loose bayin or gritty. just a judgement call on your part.

 I've been without my lead gyp for over two months due to pregnancy. I've been missing her in the woods but I'd rather lose her for a few months then risk losing her all together...as far as pups being better from hunting her well...both my pregnant females were riding around in the passenger seat eating tacos and and eyeballing the cat, my situation is t looking good lol

I would say it just depends on the dog. I mean im sure if the dog took just one good hit it could cause some damage. Il hunt mine a week or 2 after they start swelling up
