Male JRT in Heat

Question
Carol
I have a 20 month old male JRT and every once in awhile he gets in heat. Do you know of anyone who would be interested in breeding where i could take him to calm him down. I am base in NYC area.

Answer
Hi James,
Male dogs don't go "in heat" every once in a while. It's the females who do. Males are interested and ready whenever there is a female who is "in heat" nearby.
You should have him neutered and increase his activity level to keep him a happy boy. Good luck.
