Not Spayed

Question
I adopted an American Eskimo female 2 months ago to prevent her from going to the pound.  She will be 8 August of 2011.  Can she still become pregnant untill she dies?  I am on a very low fixed income & really can't afford to get her spayed.

Answer
Hi Nancy

She will still come into season and want to breed.  

A female is born with all the eggs she is ever going to produce and as she ages, so does the eggs.   She could still become pregnant but that doesn't mean she will produce healthy pups.

Good luck
