W live in an area of town where it is common for lazy people to just let their dog out the door to wander the streets. most of these dogs are entire males. it is these owners who are not being responsible as most of these dogs have fathered litters and the owners know about this and have gotten the pick of the litter.

Yes we take them to an industrial estate to walk and were on our way there, but have to walk as do not own a car, so having to walk past the shop.
There is no other option to letting her pee.. he does not want her to think peeing inside is acceptable so doent want to use pads. and as she is a young lively dog she needs a fair amount of excercise.

He's being responsible as he is not allowing her to have this litter of unwanted pups. And it is quite clear he is able to keep an entire male and in heat female in the same house as this is her 2nd season and he has never got her pregnant.

I used to foster an entire male and he could jump my fence no bother so I made him a pen as i know what males can b like and living in an area with lots of dogs I didnt want him running off and being run over.
they chose not to have him castrated as he was a kc reg bred for showing, therefor i had to adapt around this, as should other responsible dog owners.

you are never going to get an ideal world where all dog owners believe the same thing.. but if all owners made sure their dog cannot escape its garden then it would be a hell of alot better!
